Questions About the Smell of Death in a New Braunfels, TX Home

Does warm weather make the odor worse?

Yes. Heat speeds the changes behind the odor and makes it stronger and wider spreading. A closed home with the air conditioning off can hold a strong smell. The steps stay the same, but acting soon after the scene is released helps.

Can I sell or rent a home after the smell was removed?

Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.

Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program help?

Only if the death was the result of a crime. The program pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Other sources come first. Ask the Attorney General's office about a specific case at (800) 983-9933.

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.

How is the waste handled?

Soaked materials are sealed in approved containers and taken to lawful disposal. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how its waste is hauled.

Is a vehicle smell treated the same way?

Similar steps apply. The team removes affected seats and carpet, disinfects surfaces and treats the air handling system. Cars hold odor in fabric and foam, so the work needs care.
