Removing the Smell of Death From a Ellaville, GA Property
Odor removal after death focuses on porous materials such as carpet, mattresses and subfloor. These absorb fluids and release odor for weeks, so they are usually removed or sealed.
If a smell remains in your home, apartment or rental in Ellaville or elsewhere in Schley County after a death, call Ellaville Biohazard Cleanup Help for odor removal. The crew finds the source of the smell and treats it, instead of covering it.
With about 51 inches of rain a year in Ellaville, damp air can hold odor longer inside a closed house, so drying and air treatment matter. About 13% of homes in Schley County are vacant, and a smell inside a closed house may go unnoticed until a neighbor or an owner stops by.
The work often covers:
- Odor neutralization with equipment such as ozone, hydroxyl units and thermal fogging
- Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials
- Finding every spot where fluids reached, including under flooring and behind baseboards
- Discreet scheduling around the family, other tenants and neighbors
- Containment so odor and contamination stay out of other rooms
