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

How much does death odor removal cost?

The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how far fluids spread and how much carpet, padding and subfloor must be treated. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.

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.
