Decomposition Clean Up in Akron, Ohio

Decomposition Clean Up in Akron

Decomposition clean up is one of the most challenging and sensitive services we provide at Akron Traffic Accident Cleanup. When an unattended death occurs in a residence or commercial property, the natural breakdown of organic matter releases powerful odors, bodily fluids, and tissue that can seep into flooring, drywall, carpet, and even the subfloor. In Akron’s climate, where warm, humid summers accelerate the decomposition process, the window for effective remediation narrows quickly. Our work involves not only the removal of biohazardous materials but also the meticulous identification of every affected surface — including hidden areas like crawl spaces, behind baseboards, and inside HVAC systems — where odor-causing compounds can linger for months if left untreated.

The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of contamination, taking into account the time since death, temperature conditions, and the type of flooring or wall construction common in Akron homes, many of which were built decades ago with porous materials like plaster and hardwood. We then proceed with the safe removal of all contaminated materials, using EPA-registered disinfectants that are specifically formulated to neutralize the pathogens and enzymes produced during decomposition. Deodorization is a critical final step, requiring ozone treatment or hydroxyl generators to eliminate volatile organic compounds at the molecular level. For Akron property owners, this work matters because decomposition fluid can compromise structural integrity — saturating wood joists, rotting subfloors, and creating conditions for mold growth — which can lead to costly repairs if not addressed promptly and thoroughly.
