Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in Pheasant Run, OH

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.

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.

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.

Who decides what is kept and what is removed?

The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.

Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
