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.
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.
