Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Spring Valley, NY
Is the odor a concern after a suicide?
It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
Can a home be sold or rented after a suicide?
Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
What does suicide survivor mean?
A suicide survivor is someone who has lost a person to suicide, sometimes called a loss survivor. It can also mean a person who survived an attempt. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Does homeowners insurance cover suicide cleanup?
