Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Harbordale, St. Petersburg, FL
Who pays if the person was a tenant?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.
Does a cleanup team replace grief counseling?
No. A cleanup team cleans the room and takes care of the physical aftermath. Grief is a separate and important matter. Counselors, faith leaders and support groups can help, and 988 is open to anyone in distress at any hour.
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.
What does suicide survivor mean?
A suicide survivor is someone who has lost a person to suicide, sometimes called a loss survivor. It can also mean a person who survived an attempt. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
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.
