Will the neighbors know?

How long does suicide cleanup take?

It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.

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.
