In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.
Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who may contact blood or other infectious material. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE, handling and waste. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Questions about insurance, privacy or timing are welcome.
