What to know about Marietta
Marietta sits on the northwest side of the Atlanta area, and its housing looks different from the rest of the county. According to Census estimates, 53% of homes are rented, against 33% for the county, and 40% are in buildings of 5 or more units, against 22%. One-person households make up 35% of the town, compared with 26% in the county. Among residents 65 or older, 32% live alone, while the county figure is 22%.
Those numbers mean the person arranging a cleanup is often not the one who lived there. A landlord or property manager may call after a unit is vacated, and a relative who lives elsewhere or an executor may step in after an unattended death. A neighbor sometimes notices a problem first. Nearby, crime scene cleanup in Smyrna and crime scene cleanup in Kennesaw serve towns with similar questions.

Marietta biohazard cleanup questions
What counts as biohazard cleanup?
Biohazard cleanup is the removal and disinfection of blood, body fluids and other material that can carry disease, after a crime, a death at home, a suicide, an accident or a hoarding situation. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and furniture are removed, every affected surface is cleaned and disinfected, and the waste is packed and hauled as regulated medical waste under state rules. It covers homes, rentals, businesses and vehicles.
Who handles the cleanup after an unattended death?
The cleanup falls to whoever is responsible for the property: the family, the executor or the landlord. The funeral home takes the person into its care but does not clean the room. Death cleanup removes the affected flooring and furniture, disinfects the room and treats the odor at its source, so the home can be lived in, rented or sold again.
Who is responsible for crime scene cleanup?
Across Cobb County, the job falls to whoever is responsible for the property once police release the scene: the owner, the tenant, the family or the landlord. Crime scene cleanup removes the blood and anything it soaked into, cleans away fingerprint powder and disinfects every surface before anyone moves back in. The scope and price can be agreed in writing first, and no one in the family has to be in the room.
What are the first steps after a death or a crime in Marietta?
In Marietta, call 911 if no one has yet. Once police, the medical examiner or the funeral home have finished and released the home, keep the door to the room closed, do not try to clean, and do not throw anything away that an insurer may need to see. Take photos if you can, tell the landlord if it is a rental, and then call for cleanup.
Who do I call for a cleanout after a death or hoarding in Marietta?
For a home in Marietta, a biohazard cleanup company, whenever the home has blood, body fluids, human or animal waste, or a death no one found for days, because soaked materials have to come out and the waste is hauled as regulated medical waste.
