When a death occurs alone at home and is only discovered after several days or even weeks, the home requires specialized cleaning: biological decontamination, removal of fluids, deep deodorization.
This is a difficult time for the family. Our role is to act quickly, without hurting, and to make the place presentable so that loved ones can come back without suffering the scene. We communicate with the family or the notary according to your preferences.
Nova Extermination operates on the South Shore with guaranteed discretion and possible coordination with CLSC, family or notary according to your needs. License RBQ 5734 75930 01.

Discretion: unidentified vehicles, flexible hours, direct communication with a single designated family contact.

Full protective equipment (coveralls, mask, gloves), removal of biological fluids (blood, decomposition fluids), partial demolition of soaked materials (mattresses, carpets, sometimes floors), broad-spectrum biocidal disinfection, enzymatic odor neutralization, prolonged ventilation, ozonation if necessary.
Average duration: 1 to 3 days depending on the state of the place.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cleaning Up After Death
What is a post-mortem cleanup and how do you approach it?
Post-mortem cleaning aims to sanitize and decontaminate a place following a death, including in situations involving biological fluids, with absolute respect for the dignity of the person and loved ones. Nova Extermination intervenes with trained teams, protective equipment and approved products. We support families on the South Shore, particularly in Longueuil and Brossard, with compassion and discretion.
Are your teams trained in biological decontamination?
Yes, our technicians are trained and equipped to intervene in situations requiring the decontamination of biological materials, according to CNESST safety protocols. They wear the required protective equipment and use approved disinfectant products. Nova Extermination ensures rigorous sanitation while preserving the serenity of the premises.
Do you intervene with discretion and respect for the family?
Absolutely. We measure the emotional charge of these circumstances and intervene with the utmost sensitivity, without visible identification when desired. Nova Extermination protects the family’s privacy and communicates delicately at every stage. Our priority is to save you an additional ordeal.
What is the response time for a post-mortem cleanup?
We understand the urgency and sensitivity of these situations and strive to intervene as quickly as possible on the South Shore and in Montérégie. As soon as you call, we coordinate a quick and discreet assessment in order to plan the remediation without delay. Nova Extermination adapts to your reality and the current process.
How much does a post-mortem cleaning cost?
The price is established on the basis of an evaluation, depending on the extent of the situation, the extent of the decontamination required and the condition of the premises. Nova Extermination evaluates the premises with discretion before presenting you with a proposal adapted and respectful of your situation. This professional service is paid for and carried out by a trained and certified team.
Can you guarantee a perfect decontamination of the premises?
We apply rigorous protocols and approved products to sanitize and decontaminate the premises thoroughly, but the results are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the materials affected and the dilapidation of the building. Some porous materials or deep damage may require removal or additional intervention. Nova Extermination informs you honestly rather than promising a total warranty.
