Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an unattended death cleanup?
We remove all biological materials and fluids, neutralize odors and disinfect every affected surface. If contamination has reached porous materials such as carpet, padding or soft furnishings, we remove and properly dispose of them. The goal is full restoration, not just cleaning. When we leave, you should be able to walk back in without carrying what happened with you.
How quickly can Sworn Restoration respond to an emergency?
We're available 24/7 for emergencies and typically respond within 1–2 hours, depending on your location within Rockland and Westchester counties.
Are your services discreet?
Yes. Our vehicles are unmarked and our technicians are trained to work quietly and respectfully. Discretion and compassion are built into how we operate, from the first call to final clearance. Your neighbors won't know why we're there.
Do you work with insurance?
Yes. We work with most major insurance providers and can assist with the claims process, including direct billing when applicable. Our goal is to reduce your stress, not add to it.
Are your technicians certified?
Sworn Restoration is led by a certified biohazard remediation technician trained to OSHA and IICRC standards. Every team member is OSHA trained in bloodborne pathogen safety before they step foot on a job site. We use professional-grade equipment and follow strict protocols, every time.
What makes Sworn Restoration different?
Sworn Restoration is led by a retired NYPD Lieutenant with over 20 years of experience managing complex and sensitive scenes. We've seen the worst and understand what's at stake. And we bring that experience to every job—technical precision, calm under pressure and genuine care for the people we're helping. This work is personal to us.
Does the family need to be present during cleanup?
No. In fact, we recommend that family members stay away from the scene entirely. There's no reason to carry those images with you. You can grant us access remotely and we'll keep you informed throughout the process. When the work is complete, you'll receive documentation and a walkthrough if desired—but you'll never have to see the space as it was.
What happens if the death occurred in a rental property?
The responsibility for cleanup typically falls on the property owner but the specifics depend on lease terms and local regulations. We work with both tenants and landlords and we can communicate directly with property managers or legal representatives. If there's a dispute over responsibility, our documentation can help clarify scope and cost for insurance or legal purposes.
