Source-focused remediation for decomposition contamination
When a death is discovered after time has passed, bodily fluids and odor can travel beyond the immediately visible area. A meaningful cleanup assessment looks at materials, seams and adjoining surfaces rather than simply treating odor in the room.

When decomposition fluids reach carpet and subflooring
Carpet, padding, wood, laminate seams and other porous components may absorb decomposition fluids. Cleaning only the surface can leave contamination under flooring or within nearby materials. The appropriate plan depends on the structure, extent and conditions observed at the scene.
Why the odor may remain after ordinary cleaning
Persistent odor may indicate that contaminated material is still present. Before using odor-control products, identify the source and affected surfaces. Some porous building components may need removal before secondary odor treatment can be effective.

Frequently asked questions
Can decomposition odor be removed permanently?
Effective remediation focuses on finding and removing the contamination source. Simply covering the odor with fragrance does not address the underlying problem.
How far can contamination spread?
The extent depends on the scene, time, surfaces and building materials. Fluids can move through seams and porous materials beyond the most obvious area.
Do you handle unattended-death cleanup?
Yes. Unattended death cleanup is one of Rest Easy Recovery's primary service categories.
