Services We Provide


Crime Scene and Trauma
Crime scene and trauma cleanup requires a compassionate, professional, and timely response. We approach these situations with both technical expertise and respect for the people involved. Serious health hazards are posed by hazardous substances like:
- Blood
- Bodily fluids
- Decomposing tissue
Our professionals are trained to deal with these unique and sensitive issues using specialized, state-of-the-art equipment. We focus on ensuring that your home or business can return to a clean and safe environment as quickly as possible.


Death and Suicide
Discovering the remains of someone who’s passed away is a shocking and tragic experience. SERVPRO understands and is here to help, bringing compassion and the necessary tools and resources to discreetly clean, disinfect, and deodorize the affected area.
Suicide presents many hardships. Your peace of mind is important to us, and our discreet and speedy cleanup and sanitization process will ease your stress. We’re dedicated to providing speedy, discreet, and considerate cleanup so you can concentrate on your family or business affairs.


Hoarding Cleanup
Dealing with extreme clutter seems like an impossible task. Where do I start? How do I remove everything? How do I ensure that it’s sanitary? SERVPRO can provide the answers, expertise, and resources to bring your property back to a sanitary and habitable space.


Rodent Infestation
No one likes sharing their space with unsanitary intruders. They eat your wires and ductwork, urinate and defecate in your attics and walls, and cause real anxiety. We will thoroughly disinfect and clean your home or business to “make it like it never even happened.”


Viruses & Pathogens
Through our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program, we offer a specialized viral pathogen deep cleaning service that ensures that you and your space are both healthy and clean. SERVPRO can assist with C diff, HIV-1, Norovirus, MRSA, and many other viruses and bacteria.


Illicit Substances
The production and use of illegal drugs can result in exposure to volatile and harmful chemicals. Our professionals follow federal and state guidelines when cleaning and decontaminating the affected areas of your home or business.


Chemicals and Residues
Our technicians specialize in the safe, thorough removal of chemical residues left behind after emergencies, law enforcement activity, or industrial accidents. We can handle a wide range of hazardous materials and contamination scenarios, such as:
- Fingerprint powder
- Tear gas
- Pepper spray
- Fire extinguishers
SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.


Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:
- Blood
- Drug Residue
- Bodily Fluids
must be removed and the affected area decontaminated to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.


What To Do When You Have A Biohazard Emergency
The need for biohazard or hazmat cleaning usually comes with little or no warning. And it can be truly overwhelming.
Dealing with hazardous materials is best left to experienced, certified professionals. But if you find yourself in such a traumatic incident, here are a few important things to remember.
Call Emergency Personnel
Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.
Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself
Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.
Stay Out Of The Area
Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.
Treat All Bodily Fluids As Contaminated
Do not touch or handle items that might be contaminated with extremely harmful bodily fluids. And always treat bodily fluids as if they’re contaminated.


Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
What our
customers are saying
These folks are awesome! Everyone on this crew is outstanding, service is impeccable, performance is top-notch. Very responsive. I had a fridge water line blow out while I was at work. Hours of flooding onto my hardwood floor and tile in an open space house. Kitchen, hallway, living area, dining and entertainment area - all under water. I called SERVPRO of Palo Alto and they sent a crew out right away. When they arrived, they just plunged into the cleanup/dry-out. The next several days consisted of various steps of dry-out, then hardwood floor and tile removal. These guys worked hard to save my floor and even went into the crawlspace (scary!) to set things up for drying down there. But get this: This morning, after all the dry out was completed, I thought I could use my washing machine, which didn't have the drain hose connected - *my* bad for not noticing. After the inevitable spill takes place (and I'm kicking myself real hard), I call Allen, and Sally comes out AGAIN to help me out. Like, immediately!
Long and short of it is, Allen, Sally, Jessie, Paul, Emil, and other folks all worked very hard. They are outstanding professionals. Recommend them most highly. Just like everyone else here!
I used SERVPRO to help with clean up after flooding and mold in a property I manage. They were great, from providing an accurate estimate to making recommendations on how to move forward with the project to coordinating with tenants on my behalf to keeping me updated on progress on a daily basis. Allen provided all of the details I asked for and he definitely has customer service top of mind. I definitely would [will] call them in the future!
SERVPRO was a true pleasure to work with. We had an emergency late in the afternoon/early evening and they came out immediately to help with the problem. They were very professional, they did an excellent job and I would recommend them to anyone. We hope not to have an emergency like we did again but if we do we will definitely give SERVPRO a call.
Allen and Marianna were very courteous and gave us excellent service . They were attentive to our needs and showed signs of concern and urgency towards our water damaged and taking care of of us . We are very happy with their service and would def refer them in the future. They advised us towards our needs and costs and they helped us turn our claim into a hassle free transaction. SERVPRO of Palo Alto rocks!
I highly recommend SERVPRO of Palo Alto and give Anna and Marconi there two thumbs up.
My house had a big water damage, impacting both floors, about 2 months ago. I chose SERVPRO of Palo Alto mainly because they are close to my house and their Yelp reviews. Anna, Marconi and their team didn't disappoint at all. A few things to note:
1. Both Anna and Marconi came across as confident and knowledgeable about water damage remediation. They walked me through their key action steps and the timeline. That made it easier for me to plan the timing of build-back, etc.
2. They are very responsive. Both are always available when I call or text them for updates.
3. Marconi kindly called me every day after he's done for the day so as he can brief me what he did that day and his plan for the next day.
4. Water damage is nightmare to any home owner. I particularly wanted to thank Anna for being calm and confident in discussing water remediation plans with me and answering my questions. That eased a lot of stress for me.
Again, god bless you will never have a water damage. If it does happen, please consider Ann and Marconi at SERVPRO of Palo Alto.
These guys are awesome! Had a water leak and mold just weeks after bringing home a newborn--Gill and his team were beyond considerate of me, the baby, and our situation. He worked with me through the insurance process, making helpful suggestions along the way, he worked hard to minimize the impact of the crew and the remediation process on me and the baby, and he never made me feel awkward as I walked around with my own leaks (nursing mom here). While I wasn't sad to have the repair fixed, I was sad to see the crew go. They listened to my whining, they empathized with me, and they made me laugh through the whole thing. Best of all, they worked quickly, were thorough, fair, and economical. Highly recommend!
Fast, professional service. Kept me informed every step of the way when it came to my small kitchen fire that needed restoration. Got the job done in the estimated time and worked directly with insurance, so I didn't have any hassle there either. Thanks guys!
They were informative and professional. They used great equipment and really educated us in the process. I would highly recommend them.
SERVPRO was recommended through my insurance company to remediate following water damage to my condo. Allen was on it from day one and provided exceptional customer service.
The entire SERVPRO team was very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.
