Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
