As sad as it sounds, unattended deaths are relatively common.

This involves a loved one passing away and not being discovered for an extended period of time.

On top of the obvious biohazards associated with this, it can be extremely traumatic to discover a loved one who has passed some time ago.

If a body has been left unattended for some time, it will begin to decompose. This can result in leaked blood and other bodily fluids which can, in some cases, seep directly into floors, walls, furniture and other porous substances.

Insects, rodents and other scavengers will be attracted to this, and they can further spread any pathogens or infectious diseases that are present. Decomposing bodies also cause foul odours which often need professional remediation to remove.

On top of this, any pathogens in the area can be easily inhaled or absorbed via direct contact.

Capital City Crime Scene Limited are highly trained in every aspect of unattended death cleaning. We take care of the removal and disposal of any biohazardous materials, including remaining traces of blood and other bodily fluids. 

We also use specialised antimicrobial and disinfecting chemicals to ensure all risks of blood-borne diseases is eliminated.

It’s a common misconception that emergency services will work to ensure an affected area is clean and safe to inhabit, but this is not true.

It becomes the responsibility of family members or other involved parties to take care of cleanup, even if a violent crime or suicide has occurred.

This can be extremely stressful and upsetting, which is why we offer crime scene cleaning services.

If blood or other bodily fluids contaminate an area during a violent crime or suicide, they need to be professionally removed.

With years of experience and training, we’ll work to ensure all biohazards and reminders of the crime are removed.

There are many things that make hoarding dangerous to human health, especially in situations where gross filth has been allowed to take over. In many hoards, mould is present and can lead to a range of respiratory and other conditions. Those with compromised immune systems and the elderly are the most at risk.

Dangerous levels of harmful bacteria can build up as well. These can cause a range of infections and other diseases, especially when rodents are present.
