Does Cendecon Handle Decomposition, Unattended Death, and Hoarding Cleanup?
Updated
Yes. Cendecon's service list explicitly includes death decomposition cleanup, unattended death cleanup, extreme hoarding cleanup, gross filth cleanup, and trash out, alongside related services such as odor removal and tear gas removal. These are offered as part of its California crime scene and trauma cleaning business, with 24/7 emergency service advertised and a free estimate available through the site.
The specific services you asked about
Cendecon lists each of these as a named service rather than folding them into a general "cleanup" category:
| Need | Service listed on the site |
|---|---|
| Decomposition after a death | Death Decomposition Cleanup |
| A death not discovered for some time | Unattended Death Cleanup |
| Severe hoarding conditions | Extreme Hoarding Cleanup |
| Heavy accumulation of filth | Gross Filth Cleanup |
| Removing large volumes of debris | Trash Out |
The site also lists homicide cleanup, suicide cleanup, trauma cleanup, accident cleanup, and blood cleanup. For situations where odor or contaminants linger after the visible material is gone, it lists odor removal, and for properties affected by chemical irritants it lists tear gas removal. Los Angeles smoke damage cleanup is also listed as a service.
Who these services are for
The services are aimed at California properties where a death, trauma, or severe accumulation has occurred and ordinary cleaning is not the right fit — a residence, rental unit, or other site that needs professional handling before it can be used or occupied again. The site frames its work as "professional & discrete," which matters for families and property managers dealing with a sensitive situation.
Coverage and how to start
Cendecon advertises 24/7 emergency service, day or night, with a phone line for urgent requests. It also offers a free estimate, which is the practical first step for a non-emergency situation: describe the property and the condition, and get a scope and price before work begins.
Service areas listed on the site include:
- Kern County: Arvin, Bakersfield, Delano, Lake Isabella, Ridgecrest, Shafter, Taft, Tehachapi
- Los Angeles County: El Monte, Glendale, Hollywood, Lancaster, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Clarita
- Ventura County: Camarillo, Fillmore, Newbury Park, Oak View, Ojai, Oxnard, Piru, Point Mugu, Port Hueneme, Santa Paula, Somis, Thousand Oaks, Ventura
- Santa Barbara area: Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, Los Olivos, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Solvang, Summerland
- Other listed areas: Fresno, Inyo County, Tulare County, San Diego, Chula Vista
If your address is outside these lists, call and ask — the site presents them as service areas rather than a strict boundary, and the 24/7 line is the fastest way to confirm availability.
A practical note on sequencing
For decomposition or unattended death situations, odor and contamination often extend beyond what is visible, so ask during the estimate whether odor removal is included in the scope or quoted separately. For hoarding, clarify whether the quote covers debris removal (trash out) in addition to cleaning, since the site lists them as distinct services. Getting both confirmed up front avoids a second visit and a second bill.
