Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in Monongahela, PA

What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?

Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.

What happens to the items that are not kept?

They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.

Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.

What not to do after a parent dies?

Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.

Do I need to be at the home?

Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.
