Odor Removal After a Death in Wasilla, AK: Finding and Fixing the Source
Decomposition cleanup is the removal of fluids and residue left when a person was not found for days. Without it, odor can spread through vents, walls and neighboring rooms.
If a smell remains in your home, apartment or rental in Wasilla or elsewhere in Matanuska-Susitna Borough after a death, call Wasilla Biohazard Cleanup Help for odor removal. The crew finds the source of the smell and treats it, instead of covering it.
About 22% of homes in Matanuska-Susitna Borough are vacant, and a smell inside a closed house may go unnoticed until a neighbor or an owner stops by. Drier air in Wasilla, with about 19 inches of rain a year, does not cure a death odor. The smell stays in carpet and subfloor until the source is removed.
The work often covers:
- Containment so odor and contamination stay out of other rooms
- Odor neutralization with equipment such as ozone, hydroxyl units and thermal fogging
- Discreet scheduling around the family, other tenants and neighbors
- Final check of the air and surfaces before the space is handed back
- Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials
