Death & Unattended Death Cleanup
Professional, discreet cleanup after natural death, unattended death, and decomposition in Northern New York. We handle the scene so your family doesn't have to — with the compassion and thoroughness the situation demands.
When a Death Goes Undiscovered — What Happens Next
When a person passes away and is not discovered for hours, days, or longer, the scene presents serious biological hazards that cannot be safely addressed by general cleaning services. Decomposition releases biological material — including blood, bodily fluids, and bacteria — that penetrates porous surfaces like subfloors, drywall, and insulation. Odor compounds bind into structural materials and recirculate through HVAC systems.
Post Trauma Scene Decon handles this work across all six North Country counties — serving families, property managers, landlords, and estate administrators who are managing a property after an unattended or discovered death. Our founder spent over 20 years as a police officer and crime scene technician in this same region. He has processed hundreds of these scenes and understands exactly what is involved — technically and emotionally.
We work methodically and discreetly. Unmarked vehicles, full containment, HEPA air filtration, EPA-registered disinfectants, and professional odor neutralization — every step documented for your records and, where applicable, your insurance carrier.
If the property is still an active scene being held by law enforcement or the coroner, we cannot begin work until it is officially released. Call us and we can coordinate timing and help you understand next steps.
