Estate Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions in Richmond Place, Tampa, FL

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does insurance cover an estate cleanout?

Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup after a death in the home, depending on the policy. It is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling belongings. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
