Finding and Removing a Dead Animal in Whittier Mill Village, Atlanta, GA

Many homes in Atlanta, about 43%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Whittier Mill Village, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Gentle, private cleanup after a family pet has died at home
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions

What Whittier Mill Village Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
Will insurance cover dead animal cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals or pests, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what paperwork it needs.
Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?
Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
What can be saved after a dead animal?
Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
Is a dead animal dangerous?
It can be. Fluids can carry germs, and pests such as flies and fleas spread through the home. Do not touch it bare-handed, keep children and pets away and wash your hands well. People with asthma or sensitive lungs should stay out of the area.
