Professional, Compassionate Service
Qualified Licensed Cleanup Professionals
Death cleanup necessitates the expertise of trained and licensed professionals. All bodily fluids and tissues are categorized as biohazard materials, demanding careful handling and disposal following strict regulations mandated by the California Department of Public Health. New Day Renewal holds a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioners license, enabling us to legally clean up, transport, and dispose of biohazard waste resulting from death cleanup.
Cost Considerations
Homeowners with insurance coverage may experience no out-of-pocket expenses, as our services are typically covered, including the replacement of contaminated items. We assist in filing insurance claims, providing an inventory of removed or unrecoverable items due to biohazard contamination. Additionally, New Day Renewal collaborates with victim assistance and compensation programs for further support. For those without insurance or property managers, free estimates are available upon request.
The Death Cleanup Process
Our dedicated technicians at New Day Renewal follow a comprehensive death cleanup process to ensure thorough restoration of the affected area. The cleanup includes the removal of bodily fluids and items directly in contact with the decomposing body, such as carpet, furniture, and clothing. Objects that can be cleaned and disinfected are meticulously decontaminated and restored.
Our Crew
The cleanup crew identifies and removes all other biohazardous materials and items that have absorbed the strong odor of decomposition. In some cases, complete odor removal may require the removal of carpet, drapes, clothing, upholstered furniture, and other personal items that have absorbed the odor. The final step involves ventilating the area and implementing an ozone treatment to eliminate any remaining odors in the air and on hard surfaces. Within a short period, the property is restored to its pre-incident condition.
Undiscovered Death Scenario
In warm conditions, a body can start decomposing in as little as 12 hours, while colder weather may extend this timeframe to 48-72 hours, particularly in enclosed spaces. Flies may contribute to cross-contamination by laying eggs in bodily fluids, leading to larva development and organic matter consumption. Undiscovered deaths result in lingering biohazard materials and a pervasive odor affecting the surroundings. New Day Renewal addresses this by remediating remaining biohazards, removing affected items, and implementing an odor removal system for a complete restoration.
Coroner’s Seal on the Door
Following an unattended death, when the next of kin is not immediately available, an investigation is conducted by the police, and the coroner removes the body. Once completed, a seal is placed on the door to safeguard the interior until the legal representative arrives. Only authorized personnel, including the police, coroner, or legal representative, are allowed to break the seal. Property owners must wait until the seal is legally broken, even if cleanup is necessary. New Day Renewal coordinates with the coroner’s office and police department to decontaminate the property while adhering to state and federal laws
