What decomposition & odor cleanup in Irmo includes
- Locating all sources of contamination, including hidden spread
- Removal of biological material from flooring, subflooring, and structure
- Removal of porous materials that have absorbed contamination
- Hospital-grade disinfection of affected surfaces
- Professional source-odor removal and air treatment
- Verification that the odor is eliminated before the job is closed
How the process works
- Describe what you are dealing with
A coordinator takes the address and the situation. You do not need to know how far the contamination has spread — assessing that is the crew’s job.
- Full-scope assessment
The crew traces the contamination to every place it has reached, which often extends beyond what is visible on the surface.
- Source removal
All contaminated material is removed and disposed of properly. This is what actually ends the odor — removing the source, not covering it.
- Treatment and verification
The structure and air are treated, and the space is checked to confirm the odor is gone before the work is considered complete.
Who pays for decomposition cleanup?
Decomposition cleanup is often covered under homeowner’s or property insurance, particularly when it follows an unattended death. When a death is involved, the cost may also be paid from the estate. A coordinator will help you understand which applies before any work is scheduled.

Decomposition Cleanup in Irmo — questions families ask
Why won’t cleaning or air fresheners get rid of the smell?
Decomposition odor comes from biological material that has physically settled into floors, subfloors, walls, and porous surfaces. Air fresheners only mask it temporarily, and surface cleaning cannot reach what has soaked in. The odor only ends when the source material is fully removed.
How far can the contamination spread?
Further than most people expect. Fluids travel along and through flooring, into subflooring, and sometimes into wall cavities and HVAC systems. A proper assessment traces the contamination to every place it has reached, which is essential to fully resolving the odor.
Can a home really be returned to normal?
Yes. Once the source is removed and the structure and air are properly treated, the odor is eliminated and the space can be occupied or sold normally. The difference is doing source removal rather than masking.
How long does the process take?
Most residential decomposition cleanups are completed within a day, though severe cases or significant structural spread can take longer. The crew will give you a realistic estimate after assessing the scope.
