Dead Animal in a Wall, Attic or Crawl Space in Severance, CO
Dead animal cleanup in attics and crawl spaces often means removing insulation, treating joists and subfloors, and sealing contaminated waste. Soaked materials hold odor even after the animal is removed.
In Severance, a dead animal is both a smell problem and a health matter for you and your household. Call Severance Biohazard Cleanup Help for help anywhere in Weld County. Crews use protective gear, remove contaminated materials and check the area before handing it back.
Only about 30% of homes in Weld County were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach. Most housing in Weld County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread
- Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Cleanup for vacant, rental and commercial properties with documentation for managers
- Sealing and bagging of waste for proper disposal according to local rules

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Severance
How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
What can be saved after a dead animal?
Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
What should I do first if I smell something dead?
Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Severance Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
How much does dead animal removal cost?
It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
