About 56% of homes in Denver were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids and odor deeply. Drier air in Valverde, with about 15 inches of rain a year, does not cure a death odor. The smell stays in carpet and subfloor until the source is removed.
What decomposition & death odor removal covers:
- Air scrubbing and treatment of rooms, vents and air handling areas
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and furniture that hold the smell
- Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials
- Discreet scheduling around the family, other tenants and neighbors
- Final check of the air and surfaces before the space is handed back

Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Valverde, Denver, CO
How much does death odor removal cost?
The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how far fluids spread and how much carpet, padding and subfloor must be treated. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
Will the odor come back after cleaning?
It can if the source was not fully removed. Odor returns when fluids remain in padding, subfloor or walls. A team that removes soaked materials, treats the structure and runs air treatment is more likely to end it. Ask what happens if a smell remains.
Is decomposition odor harmful?
The smell can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness in a closed space. The larger concern is the fluids behind it, which can carry germs. If you must enter, ventilate and limit your time. Do not touch fluids, and leave if you feel unwell.
How long does death odor removal take?
It depends on how far the smell spread and how much must be removed. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger job with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
Is odor removal the same as biohazard cleanup?
They go together but are not the same. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination and disinfects. Odor removal makes sure no smell remains in the structure or air. Most death cleanup jobs need both.
Is a vehicle smell treated the same way?
Similar steps apply. The team removes affected seats and carpet, disinfects surfaces and treats the air handling system. Cars hold odor in fabric and foam, so the work needs care.
