Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
