What unattended death cleanup covers:
- Final inspection of the cleaned area before it is handed back
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to other rooms
- Discreet scheduling around the family, the landlord and other tenants

Unattended Death Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Uvalde Estates, TX
Can I clean up after a death myself?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and soaked carpet or padding holds odor deep below the surface. Cleanup technicians use protective gear and equipment you probably do not have. Leaving it to a team also spares you from the sight.
Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pay for death cleanup?
Only when the death involved a crime. In that case the program pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Insurance is used first and claims must be filed within three years. Questions go to the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933.
Can a home be sold or rented after an unattended death?
Yes, once it has been properly cleaned and any needed repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
Does hot weather make the problem worse?
Yes. Heat speeds the changes that cause fluids and odor, and a closed home can hold strong smells. The cleanup steps stay the same, but acting soon after the property is released helps keep the odor from spreading further.
What happens to the carpet and furniture?
Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?
Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
