Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Bryn Mawr-Skyway, WA

Can the smell spread to other rooms or apartments?

Yes. Odor moves through vents, door gaps and shared walls. A closed unit can pass a smell to a hallway or the next apartment. Crews trace the path and treat every area the smell reached.

Is decomposition odor harmful?

The smell can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness in a closed space. The larger concern is the fluids behind it, which can carry germs. If you must enter, ventilate and limit your time. Do not touch fluids, and leave if you feel unwell.

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.
