Steri-Clean New York Specializes in Decomposition Cleaning Services
Decomposition Cleanup Services
In the event that a person passes away unattended, depending on the length of time before the coroner arrives, decomposition can begin, which can be influenced by the temperature and humidity levels. The decomposition results in the release of blood and other bodily fluids. There is always the potential of viruses and bacteria in the organic fluids, which can be harmful to one’s health. No one who is not trained and has the correct protective equipment should try and clean up a decomposition. It is not safe for your physical, emotional or mental health, and should only be done by a professional cleaning service.

Health Risks
A decomposition can occur following an unattended death, crime, accident, suicide or other trauma.
​
Decomposition presents a variety of different issues and inherent dangers with regard to blood and bodily fluids. Depending on the circumstances, sometimes a death can go undiscovered for days, weeks, or even months. During that time, and depending on the nature of the death and the temperature and humidity levels in the room where the person has passed, decomposition begins to take place. If the death was the result of a crime, blood and bodily fluids could be present right away. Even if a person died from natural causes, there may still be the release of bodily fluids following their death. Depending on the length of time before the coroner arrives, the decomposition process begins to take place. Strong, unpleasant, and sometimes noxious odors are also common under these circumstances. The odors can get into all organic materials including furniture and clothing. Blood and bodily fluids may affect the surrounding area. This could potentially contain hazardous risks in the form of viruses and bacteria. The complete detection and eradication of fluids is a necessity in order to return affected areas to their previous condition. The proper cleanup of a decomposition scene requires training, the right tools and machines, personal protective equipment and experience.
