Removing the Smell of Death From a Mahncke Park, San Antonio, TX Property

Death odor removal is the process of finding and removing the source of the smell left after a person dies at home and is not found right away. It combines cleaning, removal of affected materials and treatment of the air.

If a smell remains in your home, apartment or rental in Mahncke Park or elsewhere in Bexar County after a death, call Mahncke Park Biohazard Cleanup Help for odor removal. The crew finds the source of the smell and treats it, instead of covering it.

The work often covers:

  • Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and furniture that hold the smell
  • Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials

  • Air scrubbing and treatment of rooms, vents and air handling areas

Answers About Removing Death Odor in Mahncke Park, San Antonio, TX

Does warm weather make the odor worse?

Yes. Heat speeds the changes behind the odor and makes it stronger and wider spreading. A closed home with the air conditioning off can hold a strong smell. The steps stay the same, but acting soon after the scene is released helps.

How is the waste handled?

Soaked materials are sealed in approved containers and taken to lawful disposal. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how its waste is hauled.

How long does the smell of death last?

It lasts until the source is removed. Fluids in carpet, padding and subfloor give off odor for weeks or longer, and warm weather makes it stronger. Opening windows helps for a short time. A cleanup team removes the source and treats the air.

What should I ask a death odor removal company before hiring?

Ask how it finds the source, what it removes and what equipment it uses. Ask how it disposes of waste, what the price includes and what happens if a smell remains after treatment.

Is odor removal the same as biohazard cleanup?

They go together but are not the same. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination and disinfects. Odor removal makes sure no smell remains in the structure or air. Most death cleanup jobs need both.

Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program help?

Only if the death was the result of a crime. The program pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Other sources come first. Ask the Attorney General's office about a specific case at (800) 983-9933.
