Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in Deer Hollow, San Antonio, TX

Is the home safe to enter after a death?

Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.

Who cleans a house after a death?

The police and the medical examiner or justice of the peace do not clean. The family or the person managing the estate books the work, and a local team can sort, remove and clean. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first.

How do you clean out a loved one's home?

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
