A death odor is a health concern as well as a comfort problem. The smell is tied to fluids that can carry germs, so odor control should be done by crews wearing protective gear.

About 43% of homes in Atlanta were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids and odor deeply. About 54% of homes in Atlanta are rented, so landlords and property managers often call because a smell is reaching hallways and other units.

What decomposition & death odor removal covers:

  • Treatment of apartments, rental units, hotel rooms and vehicles

Answers About Removing Death Odor in Westview, Atlanta, GA

Do I need to be at the property?

Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.

Do carpets and furniture have to be thrown away?

Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.

Can I clean the room myself first?

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and household cleaning often spreads contamination or pushes fluid deeper. Soaked materials also need regulated disposal. A team in protective gear can do the job safely.

Does insurance cover death odor removal?

Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

Can I use air fresheners, vinegar or baking soda?

They may cover the smell for a short time, but they do not reach fluids in padding or subfloor. Household products also leave the contamination behind. Source removal and professional treatment are what end the odor.

Will the odor come back after cleaning?

It can if the source was not fully removed. Odor returns when fluids remain in padding, subfloor or walls. A team that removes soaked materials, treats the structure and runs air treatment is more likely to end it. Ask what happens if a smell remains.
