Birmingham's mix of historic and newer homes in downtown and estate neighborhoods often means tight driveways and mature landscaping that crews must work around during any service call. Seasonal snow on major routes like Woodward Avenue and I-75 requires reliable winter equipment and flexible scheduling from the Troy base to maintain steady response times year-round.
Everything that follows applies right here in Birmingham (48009): the offerings, the process, and the pricing approach we use statewide.
Unattended death scenes in Troy often involve older single-family homes built along the Rochester Road Corridor or near Big Beaver. These properties frequently have finished basements and carpeted floors that allow fluids to seep into subfloors and joists. Winter temperatures in Oakland County slow decomposition but create ice crystals that can fracture dried blood and tissue, requiring extra dwell time with enzymatic cleaners before removal.
Michigan health code requires proper handling of regulated medical waste from these scenes. Crews must bag and label all contaminated materials before transport to approved facilities outside Troy. Homes near the Somerset Collection or Troy Historic Village sometimes sit on clay-heavy soil that holds moisture, so technicians test for hidden saturation in crawl spaces before declaring a property safe for reentry.
How It Works in Birmingham

Containment Setup
Plastic barriers and negative air machines isolate the affected area to protect the rest of the Troy home and adjacent units.
- 3
Removal And Cleaning
All contaminated contents and porous materials are bagged, surfaces are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants, and subfloors are treated.
- 4
Verification And Clearance
ATP testing confirms sanitation levels before barriers come down and a written report is provided to the property owner.
