An average July high of 90 degrees in Cedonia speeds up decomposition after a death. The sooner the scene is released and cleaned, the less the odor and fluids spread.
Failing septic systems and sewer backups push raw sewage, a Category 3 biohazard, into homes. Sewage cleanup removes contaminated materials and disinfects every surface.
Attics, barns and sheds can hold droppings, guano and carcasses that carry disease. Careful removal and disinfection protect the people who go back in.
