With about 9% of homes in Monroe County vacant, most buildings have people nearby who may notice a smell sooner and call for help. Even with milder July highs near 81 degrees in Tomah, a closed home holds odor in carpet and subfloor and still needs full treatment.

What decomposition & death odor removal covers:

  • Containment so odor and contamination stay out of other rooms
  • Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and furniture that hold the smell
  • Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials
  • Odor neutralization with equipment such as ozone, hydroxyl units and thermal fogging
  • Removal of insects and other secondary effects of a delayed discovery

Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Tomah, WI

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.

Who pays for odor removal in a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle it through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

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.

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.

What methods remove death odor?

Teams use a mix of source removal, disinfection, sealing and air treatment. Equipment can include ozone generators, hydroxyl units, thermal foggers and air scrubbers. Which method fits depends on how far the smell has spread and what the surfaces are made of.

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.
