Undiscovered Death Clean Up in Akron, Ohio

Undiscovered Death Clean Up in Akron

When a death goes unnoticed for days or weeks in an Akron property, the scene presents challenges far beyond what standard cleaning services can address. Unattended decomposition causes biological fluids to seep into flooring, drywall, and subflooring, creating strong odors that can permeate an entire home or business. In Akron's humid continental climate, these situations accelerate microbial growth and structural damage. Our Undiscovered Death Clean Up service specifically handles these advanced cases, where time and environment have compounded the original incident. We begin by assessing the full extent of contamination using moisture meters and olfactory detection to identify affected materials that may appear clean on the surface. The process involves removal of all porous materials that have absorbed biological matter, including carpeting, padding, baseboards, and sections of drywall. We then apply industrial-grade enzymatic cleaners that break down proteins at a molecular level, followed by antimicrobial treatments to neutralize pathogens. For properties in older Akron neighborhoods, we take extra care to preserve original hardwood floors or plaster walls when possible, salvaging what can be saved while ensuring no biological hazards remain. The final stage includes a period of ozone treatment to eliminate lingering odors that HVAC systems may have circulated throughout the dwelling. This meticulous approach is essential for Akron homeowners and landlords who need to restore their property to a safe, livable condition without compromising its structural integrity. Without professional intervention, the health risks from airborne pathogens and persistent odors can make a property uninhabitable and unsellable for years.

What to Expect

When you contact us for Undiscovered Death Clean Up, we arrive with full personal protective equipment, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, and containment barriers to prevent cross-contamination. Your first step is to confirm the property has been released by the coroner or medical examiner. We then perform a locked-door assessment to identify all affected rooms, including spaces like basements or attics that may not be immediately obvious. Our team works in consecutive days until the property is restored, with no skipped steps. We dispose of all biohazardous waste in accordance with Ohio EPA regulations and provide a completion certificate once the space passes ATP testing for biological cleanliness. You do not need to be present during the work, and we secure the property after each shift.
