Clearing Out a Home After a Death in Haarlem

Unfortunately, it often happens in Haarlem that a deceased person is not discovered until several days, weeks, or—as is often the case—many months have passed. In the latter case, the body is already in an advanced state of decomposition, and the stench it emits alerts the neighborhood. 

At 12B Clean, “the Pros”—a specially trained Crime Scene Clean Team—are on standby day and night to carry out emotionally and physically demanding cleanup work. Simply requesting cleanup services for a death scene is a sensitive matter. We know how to handle it.

Deaths That Went Unnoticed in Haarlem

In our country, a deceased person is found once every two days who went unnoticed for more than a day. It is even common for someone to be found who has gone unnoticed for as long as six months. These are people with little or no contact with their family and/or community. They are often elderly men who live in isolation.

We believe these are significantly large numbers that really matter. Every single case is—in our view—one too many!

Odor Nuisance Following a Death

Any body (or carcass) in a state of decomposition emits gases and compounds that produce various types of odors. The source of these odors must be eliminated first. Afterward, the area must be professionally cleaned and disinfected immediately. Where necessary, we eliminate these odors using ozone treatment.

We wear protective clothing, safety goggles, and masks—equipped with purified compressed air, if necessary—to carry out the step-by-step plan under the proper conditions. We’re usually finished within a few hours. By the time we leave, the space has been cleared of anything that still reminds us of the traumatic event.
