Answers About Cleanup After a Suicide in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?

Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.

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 the home be cleaned out afterward?

Yes. Many families book an estate cleanout once the affected area is clean and safe. The crew sorts, removes and cleans the rest of the home. Ask whether one team can do both parts so timing stays simple.

Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?

The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls and texts at 988, 24/7. Funeral homes, faith communities, doctors and counselors can also help you find grief support. A cleanup team cleans the room, but it is not a replacement for people who can help you heal.

I found someone at home. What do I do first?

Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.

Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?

Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can also ask the team to pause while a family member collects something.
