Start with safety. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first. Then set aside papers, photos and valuables, sort the rest by room and book hauling. An estate cleanout team can do the heavy work while the family makes decisions.
Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how large the affected area is and whether fluids reached the subfloor. Furniture and odor treatment also change the total. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
