Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in North Bay Shore, NY

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.

Can the team find and keep valuables?

Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.

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.

Is the home safe to enter after a death?

Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.

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.

What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.
