Unattended Death Cleanup in Cary IL

Our Unattended Death Cleanup Services
Full Decomposition Cleanup
When a body has been undiscovered for days, fluids and tissue have often seeped into flooring, carpet padding, and subflooring. We remove all affected materials, dispose of biohazard waste legally, and treat the underlying surfaces with enzymatic cleaners and antimicrobial fogging to eliminate contamination at the source.
Blood and Bodily Fluid Remediation
Blood and other bodily fluids carry bloodborne pathogens that pose serious health risks to anyone entering the area. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and personal protective equipment to safely remove all visible and invisible biohazards, leaving the area safe for reoccupation.
Odor Elimination and Air Scrubbing
The odor from decomposition can be overwhelming and persistent, often penetrating walls, furniture, and HVAC systems. We deploy ozone generators, thermal fogging, and hydroxyl machines to neutralize odors at the molecular level, ensuring the space smells clean and fresh again.
Structural Cleaning and Restoration
In older Cary homes, fluids can soak into wood subfloors and drywall, requiring more than surface cleaning. We assess the extent of damage, remove and replace porous materials as needed, and sanitize all non-porous surfaces. Our goal is to return the property to a safe, habitable condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need professional cleanup for an unattended death?
Yes. Decomposition releases body fluids and airborne bacteria that can penetrate flooring, drywall, and HVAC systems. Standard cleaning products cannot kill bloodborne pathogens or remove deep-seated odors. Professional biohazard remediation is necessary to make the property safe and livable again.
How fast can you get to a home in Cary?
We are on call 24/7 and typically arrive within two hours of your call. Distance within Cary is not an issue—our team is based nearby and can respond to any neighborhood, from Downtown Cary to the subdivisions near Three Oaks Park.
Will my insurance cover the cost of unattended death cleanup?
Many homeowner and renter insurance policies include coverage for biohazard cleanup as part of their liability or property damage provisions. We can provide a detailed scope of work and estimate that your insurance company can use to process the claim. We recommend calling your agent first, but we are happy to help with the paperwork.
How do you handle the odor after cleanup?
We use a multi-step process: first, we remove all contaminated materials. Then we apply enzyme-based cleaners to break down organic residue. Finally, we use hydroxyl generators and ozone machines to neutralize odor molecules in the air and porous surfaces. This combination eliminates smells, not just masks them.
Do you remove personal belongings or just clean the space?
We remove and properly dispose of any biohazard-soaked items, such as carpet, padding, furniture, or clothing. For belongings that are not contaminated, we can carefully move them to a safe area. If you want us to clear out non-biohazardous items after the cleanup, we can handle that as well—just let us know during the initial call.
