Common Questions About Suicide Clean Up in Winslow, ME
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.
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.
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.
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.
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and treat the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord, not the cleanup crew.
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.
