Decomposition Cleanup

Sadly, a person can pass away without notice and if they are not found in a timely fashion, decomposition can take place and contaminate anything nearby turning the entire space into a biohazard. What may appear like a simple stain on the surface is actually just the beginning of the problem. The odour associated with decomposition is overwhelming to say the least. It will remain embedded in the contents and the structure itself if not effectively dealt with. Carpet, padding, subfloors, and even portions of walls must sometimes be removed to eradicate the health hazards associated with decomposition and to control the overwhelming odour.

Animal Decomposition Cleanup

Dealing with the fresh blood, urine, feces, and other bodily fluids left behind by an animal recently passed is an unpleasant task. But there is something even more distressing and potentially dangerous – chancing upon a dead and decomposing animal on your property.

In situations of animal decomposition, it is almost always a good idea to call in professionals.

The body of humans and animals are made up of highly complex compounds – proteins, amino acids, fats, carbohydrates, DNA, and other minerals and water. Decomposition is the process by which these are broken down into simpler molecules of sugars, mineral salts, carbon, and water.

The decomposition and decay of organic matter play an essential role in nature. It prevents the wastage of nutrients and ensures that plants can thrive, creating food for the continuation of life. Out in the wild and wide-open spaces with plenty of air circulation, a decomposing animal body does not cause any significant concerns.

Problems arise when animals die inside your homes. Wild animals like rats, raccoons, and squirrels often find their way into attics, ceilings, ducts, chimneys, between the walls, and even under the house.

Pets like dogs and cats also have the instinct to seek out nooks and crawl spaces, mainly when they are not well. This is a primitive instinct of self-preservation – all animals, domesticated or otherwise, will retreat to a safe hiding place when severely ill or injured.

Out in the wild, this is a valuable tactic to avoid predators who always target weak and easy prey. But in our homes, this instinct can lead to unpleasant situations where a beloved pet (or a wild animal) dies without our knowledge.

And while the body may be out of sight, thanks to rapid decomposition, you will soon know all about its presence. The following are signs of a possible rotting body inside your home or property:

• An unpleasant odour inside of the building.
• An unpleasant odour is outside on the premises.
• Presence of swarms of flies and ants.
• Stains of unknown origin on a wall or ceiling.

The odour of a decomposing body is deeply unsettling as we immediately associate it with death. Living under the same roof with such a smell is virtually impossible. While the odours dissipate faster out in the open, they can linger for a long time indoors and saturate everything inside.

Cleaning a decomposition mess is a job best left to seasoned professionals. We use advanced equipment and specialized cleaning agents to remove all traces of decomposition with clinical efficiency. All our practices are in full compliance with the strictest regulations regarding the handling of bio-hazardous materials. You are guaranteed the highest quality decomposition cleanup service in Vancouver BC.
