Unattended Passing Cleanup Services

“One Scene at a Time”

Unattended deaths can be hazardous to health and the environment because the body releases harmful bacteria and bodily fluids during decomposition. The area around the body can become contaminated with these fluids, which can carry diseases and bloodborne pathogens.

When a person passes away without immediate discovery, the environment can quickly become hazardous. At Biohazard Solutions Plus, we specialize in Unattended Passing Cleanup—often called Unattended Death Cleanup or Delayed Discovery Cleanup—offering discreet, compassionate support to individuals, families, and property owners. Whether you’re in St. Louis, Farmington, or elsewhere in our broader service area, we handle each situation “one scene at a time,” with a commitment to restoring safety and peace of mind.

Unsttatended death cleanup

What is an Unattended Passing?

An unattended death is when a person dies and their body is not found for days, weeks, or months. Unattended deaths can occur for a number of reasons, including:

* Suicide or homicide: In some cases, an unattended death can be the result of a suicide or homicide.

* Living alone: Unattended deaths are more common among the elderly, especially if they live alone and don't have family or friends who check on them regularly.

* Drug abuse: Unattended deaths are more common among people who abuse drugs.

Unattended passings can involve biological hazards such as blood, bodily fluids, and tissue that require specialized handling. Over time, these elements can lead to health risks, structural damage, and lingering odors. Our team at Biohazard Solutions Plus adheres to strict industry standards and local, state, and federal regulations, ensuring the affected area is thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and restored so it’s safe and habitable once again.

Do Not Clean Up After A Death In Your Home

What to do after a trauma

Leave The Scene As Is

If the death was the result from a criminal act or an ill-intentioned motive, you most certainly need to leave everything untouched and call law enforcement authorities so they can investigate the scene. If the death is due to natural causes, illness, accident or injury, you should still call your local authorities and the coroner's office to report the situation. They will come and remove the body.

There are many dangers and health risks associated with cleanup of this type. Decomposing bodies can release harmful pathogens and bacteria that pose serious health risks. Exposure to bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, and other biohazardous materials can lead to infections and diseases. Items and furnishings that have been contaminated with biohazardous waste need to be disposed of properly, as improper disposal can lead to contamination and legal issues. We are equipped with specialized equipment and have extensive training and experience to be qualified to remediate this type of hazard.

Frequently asked questions

What is a biohazard?

A biohazard is any hazardous biological material, such as those found at crime scenes, trauma scenes, sewage backups, and drug paraphernalia.

Why can't I clean up a biohazard myself?

Improper treatment can spread contamination and lead to illness or life-threatening conditions.
Exposure to bloodborne pathogens can cause serious health concerns. A professional service ensures thorough sanitation while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Can any cleaning company do it?

Crime scene cleanup requires advanced training, specialized protective gear, and regulatory knowledge. Standard cleaning services rarely have the expertise or equipment to manage biohazard situations effectively.

What do I do if we have an emergency due to a death or trauma?

First, if this is due to a crime or accident, you will need to call 911 and report the situation. Once the initial crime scene or accident has been addressed by the authorities and the ambulance or coroner has removed the body (if there was one), you can start to process what things need to be done to get back to normal. It can be very overwhelming. Give us a call and explain the situation, give us the address, who we will need to communicate with and your insurance information. We can help. We may be able to come right away, however in some cases where there is an investigation in process, we cannot begin cleanup until the scene has been released.

Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies do include coverage for biohazard cleanups. However, there can be exceptions, and some policies may offer limited coverages.

Can a regular cleaning service do the same job?

Crime scene cleanup requires specialized training, certifications, and personal protective equipment.
Standard cleaning services are generally not equipped to handle the dangers associated with biohazards.
