Franklin's mix of historic homes and village streets creates unique access challenges for any cleanup crew. Cold winters often leave snow and ice that must be managed before work can begin safely.
Our Troy team travels Franklin Road and 13 Mile Road daily, allowing fast response to incidents in Downtown Franklin or near the cider mill regardless of season.
Below is what Franklin customers get when they book unattended death cleanup with us — local dispatch, and the exact process we use across Michigan.
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.
