Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in Lake Port Village, Arlington, TX
Will the smell go away on its own?
Usually not. Odor comes from fluids that soaked into carpet, padding, subfloor and walls. Opening windows or using sprays only covers it for a short time. The source has to be removed and the air and structure treated.
What is the forty day rule after a death?
It is not a Texas cleanup rule. Some faiths and families observe a period of mourning with a set length, and customs vary. Texas law does not make cleanup wait for a number of days. Cleanup can begin once authorities release the property.
When can cleanup begin after a death?
Cleanup begins after authorities release the property. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. They and the police decide when the scene is released. Ask them for the release before booking a crew.
What is considered an unattended death?
An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
Can I clean up after a death myself?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and soaked carpet or padding holds odor deep below the surface. Cleanup technicians use protective gear and equipment you probably do not have. Leaving it to a team also spares you from the sight.
What should I not do after finding a death at home?
Call 911 first and do not touch anything. Do not try to clean fluids yourself, because they can carry germs. Do not vacuum or use household bleach. Wait for the authorities, then ask a cleanup team how to proceed.
