Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
A cluttered home takes more time, and the sorting needs even more care. Crews set up safe paths, look for hazards and sort slowly. Ask the team what extra steps apply to dense contents.
Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.
Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain what applies. The tenant's family or estate usually has to clear belongings by a set date, and a team can work to that deadline.
Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup after a death in the home, depending on the policy. It is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling belongings. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
