Why Choose Our Unattended Death Cleanup Services

Discovering or dealing with an unattended death can be traumatic, especially when a loved one is involved. The emotional and physical toll of such an event can be overwhelming. At Bio Recovery, we understand the challenges you're facing and are here to help. 

Bio Recovery is a family-owned company founded in New York in 1997. We have become one of the largest and most trusted biohazard cleanup companies in America. Our expertly-trained cleanup technicians are stationed all across the United States to provide professional unattended death cleanup services, offering families reliable support during these difficult times.

Unattended deaths that remain undiscovered for days, weeks, or even longer are surprisingly common, and managing these complex situations is our only line of business. Body decomposition poses significant health risks to anyone in the vicinity, both during and after the event. This is why it's crucial to engage licensed and certified cleanup professionals. The technicians at Bio Recovery are equipped with the expertise, tools, and compassion necessary to handle these sensitive situations safely and effectively.

Don't burden yourself with the physically and emotionally strenuous task of cleanup. Let our professional team take care of it so you can focus on your emotional well-being and remembrance.

Why Can't I Do the Body Decomposition Cleanup Myself?

The decomposition process creates conditions that require immediate professional attention. The longer the body sits, the more dangerous and damaged the areas around it become. Decomposition also attracts insects due to the release of bacteria, which can lead to the spread of harmful pathogens and intensify odors. These conditions pose significant health risks to anyone entering the area.

After Death Cleaning Services


An unattended death can create challenging and potentially hazardous conditions. The decomposition process begins rapidly after a body ceases to function, leading to significant physical changes. These changes can include the release of bodily fluids and the proliferation of harmful bacteria.

At Bio Recovery, our specialists have extensive experience in handling such situations, whether they result from natural causes, accidents, or other circumstances. We work diligently to restore affected areas to safe, habitable conditions, allowing you to focus on healing and remembrance.

We understand the sensitive nature of these situations and approach each case with the utmost respect and discretion. Our cleanup team will arrive in nondescript vehicles to ensure privacy. We maintain strict confidentiality, communicating only with you and your insurance carrier with your consent unless legally required to do otherwise.

Our goal is to alleviate your burden during this difficult time, handling all aspects of the cleanup process professionally and compassionately.

Our Unattended Death Cleanup Process

It's important to have full transparency over the cleaning process, particularly where it concerns cleaning your home during such a challenging time. 

Bio Recovery is fully licensed, bonded, and insured and offers complete transparency in its process both over the phone and online.

The sooner we can address your biohazard crisis, the better. Once on-scene, Bio Recovery technicians inspect the site and create a custom cleanup action plan based on EPA, CDC, and OSHA guidelines and our own comprehensive checklist.

If our customer service staff hasn’t already done so, they’ll order roll-off trash containers (also called dumpsters) to contain any non-contaminated yet destroyed materials.

The Importance Of Hiring A Professional Death Cleanup Service

Dealing with an unattended death requires more than just cleaning—it demands expertise, specialized equipment, and a compassionate approach. Here's why professional services are crucial:

  • Safety First: Unattended deaths can create biohazardous conditions that pose serious health risks. Our certified technicians are trained to handle these situations safely, protecting you and your property.
  • Thorough Decontamination: We use hospital-grade disinfectants and advanced techniques to eliminate all traces of harmful pathogens, ensuring the area is truly safe for occupancy.
  • Legal Compliance: Our services adhere to all OSHA, EPA, and state-specific regulations for biohazard remediation, protecting you from potential legal issues.
  • Emotional Support: Attempting to clean up after a loved one's passing can be traumatic. We provide a buffer, allowing you to focus on emotional recovery.
  • Insurance Navigation: We work directly with insurance providers, managing the claims process to maximize coverage and minimize your financial burden.
  • Discretion and Respect: Our team arrives in unmarked vehicles and works with the utmost respect for your privacy and property.

At Bio Recovery, we combine technical expertise with genuine compassion. Our goal is not just to clean and disinfect but to help restore a sense of normalcy during a challenging time. Trust our experienced team to handle this difficult task professionally and sensitively.
