Gentle & Thorough Help After a Loss

 

Losing someone is hard enough. Learning that they passed alone and were not found right away can make it even harder. Aftermath is here to take the cleanup off your hands and restore the home with care and respect.

When a death goes undiscovered, bodily fluids and odor spread into mattresses, flooring, subfloors, and walls. In multi-unit buildings, odor can also travel through shared walls and ventilation and affect neighboring units. Our team removes the source completely, so the problem does not come back.

Our Unattended Death Cleanup Process

Our local San Francisco crime scene cleanup team is available 24/7 for fast and efficient remediation of even the most serious and traumatic cleanup needs.

After the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner releases the property, we assess the space and explain every step.

We remove fluids and contaminated materials that cannot be restored, including bedding, furniture, carpet, and flooring. We then clean and disinfect all affected surfaces using our multi-stage process and EPA-registered disinfectants. Finally, we treat odors at the source and within the surrounding structure, helping restore the home to a safe, habitable condition.

 

We ATP-test surfaces and walk through the space with you before we leave.

We work quickly to limit disruption for other tenants and help you get the unit ready to occupy again. We keep our work discreet and provide the documentation your insurance carrier needs.

We set aside photos, documents, and keepsakes whenever they can be safely recovered, so families do not lose what matters most.

A vehicle can often be salvaged after decomposition. Professional material removal, disinfection, and odor treatment can safely restore most cars, though severe damage may result in a total loss.

Our technicians are GBAC-trained and follow IICRC S540 standards and OSHA bloodborne pathogen requirements. Aftermath holds a BBB A+ rating and arrives in unmarked vehicles to protect your privacy.

Unattended death cleanup is often covered by homeowners, renters, auto, and property insurance, and we can work with your carrier directly. We serve every neighborhood in San Francisco County, including the Sunset, the Richmond, the Mission, the Marina, SoMa, Downtown and the Financial District, the Presidio, and Fisherman's Wharf.

What our clients are saying

Christopher and his Assistant Manager Trainee Gabriel took care of my tenants (who was family) apartment swiftly. It was disgusting in there. Will be going back to this company if a situation arises like this in the future. Drive home safe guys and thank you for your hard work.

John I.

From my initial contact with Jeanine to the final walk through with Jason, Tristan, Marquel and Fritz Aftermath services has been tremendously upfront, kind and compassionate after the death of my sister. During such a difficult time I never would have thought that I would walk away with five new friends. I am forever grateful.

FAQ

Our team is available 24/7, 365 days a year. Once you contact us, we assess the situation and coordinate service as quickly as possible.

In many cases, yes. Homeowners and commercial policies often cover biohazard cleanup, and we provide the documentation your carrier needs and may work with them directly so you are not managing the claim alone.

Stay out of the affected area and avoid touching or cleaning anything yourself. Biohazards can carry infectious material, and our team brings the protective equipment needed to handle it safely.

We handle crime scenes, unattended deaths, suicides, hoarding, narcotics contamination, and other biohazard situations in homes, businesses, and vehicles. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, call us and we will tell you.

We use ATP testing to verify that surfaces have been properly disinfected before we hand the space back. You get the results, so nobody has to judge safety by how the room looks.

No. You can call at any point, and we will coordinate with investigators so work begins as soon as the scene is released.

Yes. We arrive in unmarked vehicles, keep our work out of view where possible, and do not discuss your situation with neighbors or anyone outside your household.

Most residential jobs are finished in a single day. Larger scenes, hoarding properties, and severe contamination can take several days, and we give you a time estimate after the on-site assessment.
