Dead Animal in a Wall, Attic or Crawl Space in Spring Garden, Philadelphia, PA

Dead animal removal and cleanup is the safe removal of an animal carcass from a wall, attic, vent, crawl space, yard or home, followed by cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment of the area.

Want a dead animal removed from your Spring Garden property without a mess? You can call Spring Garden Biohazard Cleanup Help from anywhere in Philadelphia County. Cleanup technicians work discreetly and keep family members, tenants and staff away from the area.

With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in Spring Garden, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer. About 83% of homes in Philadelphia were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, chimneys and crawl spaces where animals can get in and die.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup for vacant, rental and commercial properties with documentation for managers
  • Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
  • Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Gentle, private cleanup after a family pet has died at home
  • Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions

How Dead Animal Cleanup Works in Spring Garden, Philadelphia, PA

1. Keep people and pets away

Family members, tenants and animals stay out of the area while the crew prepares to enter.

2. Safe pickup

The animal is lifted with protective equipment, bagged and sealed, so germs and fluids stay contained.

3. Take out soaked materials

Insulation, carpet, padding or drywall that absorbed fluids are cut out, bagged and removed.

4. Disinfect and deodorize

Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated at its source, and the crew checks the finished area.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Spring Garden, Philadelphia, PA

What can be saved after a dead animal?

Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.

What if a pet died at home?

You do not have to handle it alone. A cleanup team can remove the body with care, clean bedding and floors, and disinfect the area. It is done privately and gently, so the family is spared the hardest part.

Will the smell go away on its own?

Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.

Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?

For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.

Can I remove a dead animal myself?

Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.

What should I do first if I smell something dead?

Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Spring Garden Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
