Decomposition Odor FAQ for Dalworthington Gardens, TX: Causes, Cost and Timing

What causes the smell of decomposition?

It comes from gases and fluids released as tissue breaks down. The fluids soak into carpet, padding, mattresses and the floor beneath. The longer a person was in the home before being found, the more materials the fluids usually reached.

I smell something and I am afraid of what I will find. What should I do?

Do not go in alone. Call 911 or ask for a welfare check. Wait for the authorities to enter first. Cleanup comes later, once the scene is released. If you are struggling with what you have seen, 988 offers support by call or text.

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.

Can I sell or rent a home after the smell was removed?

Yes, once it has been cleaned and any 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.

Is decomposition odor harmful?

The smell can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness in a closed space. The larger concern is the fluids behind it, which can carry germs. If you must enter, ventilate and limit your time. Do not touch fluids, and leave if you feel unwell.

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.
