Unattended Death And Decomposition Cleanup Services in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
After a death, the last thing most people want to think about is cleanup. That’s why the process begins quietly and respectfully. Our team arrives in an unmarked vehicle and works with care, keeping the home as undisturbed as possible.
Every situation is different, so we start by understanding what the space needs — not what a checklist says. Before any work begins, we walk through the plan together, explaining what will be done and why.
To protect health, certain areas may be contained and protective equipment is used throughout the process. These steps follow OSHA workplace safety standards and CDC guidance, but they’re carried out in a way that feels measured, not clinical.
Only materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed. Personal belongings and the structure of the home are treated thoughtfully, with decisions communicated along the way.
Professional disinfectants and odor-control methods are used to address biological exposure that isn’t always visible. Once complete, the space is checked to ensure it’s safe to return to.
Waste handling and disposal are taken care of fully and responsibly, so there’s nothing left for the family to manage. The home is left in a condition that allows the next steps — whatever those may be — to happen without added stress.

Risks of DIY Cleanup
After a death, many people don’t realize that biological risks can remain in a space even when things look orderly. Exposure isn’t always visible, and household cleaning products aren’t meant to address it.
