We constantly get calls from the disaster restoration companies in our area about cleaning and sanitizing the duct systems in homes and businesses following a fire, flood or other catastrophe.
So when our phone rang on the morning of August 28th, 2014 and we were asked to perform a duct cleaning and sanitizing in a home, it was pretty routine. After the address of the residence was given and a cleaning date selected, our receptionist asked for the nature of the disaster. The restoration representative paused, her voice lowered and she replied: “A human corpse was discovered in the home two weeks after expiring.”
