In a big house, the affected area is usually one or two rooms. Ask the company to agree the area in writing before they start, so the work and the cost stay with what actually needs it.
If the home has a finished basement under the room, ask them to check the ceiling and framing below as well.

If you are not sure what to expect, after a death at home goes step by step.
If it happened today
- Call 911 first. If someone is hurt, or you have found someone who has died, call 911 before anything else.
- Leave the room as it is. Police and the medical examiner's investigator may need to see it. Close the door and keep people and pets out.
- Wait for the release. Cleanup starts only after the police, and the medical examiner if involved, say the home or car is released.
- Then call. Call (603) 555-0105 when you are ready. Nobody will rush you.
