Fewer homes in Citrus County were built before 1980, about 25%, but newer carpet, padding and drywall still hold odor and need removal. Only about 15% of homes in Citrus County are rented, so most calls come from owners and families who need a house ready to sell or restore.

What decomposition & death odor removal covers:

  • Odor neutralization with equipment such as ozone, hydroxyl units and thermal fogging
  • Packaging and hauling of biohazard waste to lawful disposal
  • Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and furniture that hold the smell
  • Documentation and photos that a landlord, buyer or insurer may ask for

Questions About the Smell of Death in a Citrus Hills, FL Home

Is odor removal the same as biohazard cleanup?

They go together but are not the same. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination and disinfects. Odor removal makes sure no smell remains in the structure or air. Most death cleanup jobs need both.

How long does the smell of death last?

It lasts until the source is removed. Fluids in carpet, padding and subfloor give off odor for weeks or longer, and warm weather makes it stronger. Opening windows helps for a short time. A cleanup team removes the source and treats the air.

Do I need to be at the property?

Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.

Does insurance cover death odor removal?

Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

Do carpets and furniture have to be thrown away?

Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.

I smell something and I am afraid of what I will find. What should I do?

Do not go in alone. Call 911 or ask for a welfare check. Wait for the authorities to enter first. Cleanup comes later, once the scene is released. If you are struggling with what you have seen, 988 offers support by call or text.
