Unattended Death Cleanup Services by Lotus Restoration

Dealing with the aftermath of an unattended death is both emotionally and logistically challenging. At Lotus Restoration, we are here to guide and support you through this difficult process with professional, compassionate, and discreet cleaning services. Our mission is to help you restore your space to a safe, clean, and livable condition as quickly and efficiently as possible.

What is Unattended Death Cleanup?

An unattended death occurs when someone passes away alone and the discovery is delayed by days, weeks, or even longer. Over time, biohazardous materials, such as bodily fluids and odors, will affect the surrounding area. Cleaning such an environment requires specialized training, equipment, and care to ensure proper sanitization and to protect the health of those involved.

At Lotus Restoration, we follow rigorous standards for biohazard cleanup and ensure every trace of contamination is removed with precision.

Hazards of Decomposition

When a body is left unattended for an extended period of time, it undergoes a process called decomposition. During this process, bacteria and other microorganisms break down the body’s tissues and organs, releasing bodily fluids and gases into the environment. These fluids can seep into porous materials like carpet, furniture, and walls, creating a dangerous and unpleasant odor.

In addition to the physical hazards of decomposition, there are also potential health risks associated with exposure to biohazardous materials. Bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, and viruses can pose serious health threats if not properly handled and disposed of by trained professionals.
