What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
What should families ask suicide cleanup companies before the work starts?
Ask how the team protects privacy, whether it arrives in unmarked vehicles, and which items it will keep for the family. Ask how biohazard waste is hauled and how the work is documented for the insurance company. You can also ask Mount Vernon Biohazard Cleanup Help to explain each step in plain words, so the family can decide without pressure.
Do I have to see the room?
