Decomposition Odor FAQ for Hunters Creek Village, TX: Causes, Cost and Timing
What causes the smell of decomposition?
It comes from gases and fluids released as tissue breaks down. The fluids soak into carpet, padding, mattresses and the floor beneath. The longer a person was in the home before being found, the more materials the fluids usually reached.
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.
Do carpets and furniture have to be thrown away?
Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.
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.
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.
