Many homes in Minneapolis, about 72%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. Most housing in Minneapolis is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 8%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and opens a small section only when needed.
The animal is lifted with protective equipment, bagged and sealed, so germs and fluids stay contained.
The carcass and any nesting debris are removed, and fluid-soaked materials are cut out and replaced later.
Joists, subfloors and walls are disinfected and deodorized, and the crew lists any repairs for other trades.
