Los Angeles Crime Scene Cleanup

Unfortunately in todays society there are many times the deceased go undiscovered for days or even weeks before they are found. For some, it is because they have no family to check on them while others just lead busy lives and don't make contact with friends and family as much as they once did. When a body is not discovered for any length of time, the body decomposes leaving behind fluids that saturate the area where the body was discovered. Beds, couches, chairs and flooring are the most common areas where we see this occur. What may seem like a simple stain on the carpet, is most likely a much larger problem. The fluids from a decomposing body, follow gravity and typically absorb through the carpet and padding into the subfloor. We have seen many jobs where the fluid actually penetrates into the room below. The odor can be overpowering as well as dangerous. Bacteria forms in this fluid and can make people sick that are not wearing proper protective clothing and respirators. Crime Scene Steri-Clean responds to about 250 cases of decomposition each year. We are trained to properly remove the saturated materials, clean and disinfect the structure and remove and odor that is left behind. If you need assistance with cleaning an undiscovered death or decomposition, don't attempt to clean this yourself. Call our 24 hour live help line at (888) 577-7206.
