Aftermath Services
When a death, hoarding, or crime scene occurs, the odor level often increases to a level that cannot be corrected with at-home remedies. Professional help is necessary to eliminate odors from the source before they reach harmful levels.
The horrors of undiscovered death are not unknown to our technicians, who bear witness each day to the odor that accompanies a decomposition event. Our job is to effectively remove that odor on behalf of families who deserve privacy and respect as they move through their grieving process. Aftermath Services offers professional odor removal services in Oakland, CA that afford families and businesses the chance to return to normalcy after experiencing a death or violent crime.
LINGERING ODORS AFTER DEATH
Bacteria thrive in warm temperatures. If the bacteria population is subject to the right conditions, it will multiply. Left untreated, bacteria can cause irreparable damage to your property and health concerns for its future occupants.
When someone dies, their body starts to decompose and release chemicals. These chemicals give off a strong, foul smell that can be noticed only hours after death if it is warm weather or within days if it is cool. Without a professional cleaning and odor removal, these smells can permanently damage furniture, clothing, books, and other personal property.
Odors linger for such a long time because they become embedded in items and building materials in your home, including:
- Wood
- Drywall
- Carpet
- Furniture
- Upholstery
- Drapes

"Following an unbelievable tragedy, I was met by a compassionate on site supervisor, who proceeded to assume responsibility for which I was unprepared and unable emotionally to handle. Was notified about every step of process being taken, and all was done in a professional manner. Matt still keeps in touch concerning the repairs and our emotional state. Through this horrible tragedy, I felt comforted by his professional manner and felt that I had also made a friend. I would highly recommend Aftermath."
