Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

Biohazard jobs are among the hardest that we do. These damages concern the cleanup and disposal of blood, pathogens, human remains, methamphetamine labs, and animal carcass. For most of these jobs, discretion is a must. Our technicians are compassionate and put the customer first. We understand that this is a stressful, emotional situation and each service we provide is professional, honest and sensitive to your needs.

Here in California, it is necessary to receive state Hazmat certification before embarking on a BIOHAZARD cleanup job. This qualification is essential to the proper disposal of substances in line with EPA guidelines, federal and county laws. Although these jobs are the most difficult in our repertoire, we have extensive experience to guide us as well as the correct training, equipment, and licenses.

Rodent Infestation

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.


1.svg

Call Emergency Personnel

Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.

2.svg

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

3.svg

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

4.svg

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.

I called SERVPRO regarding treatment for mold throughout the home.  I spoke with a lady by the name of Grecia.  She was very professional and quick to respond to our needs.  We met the very next morning so I could get a quote for the work to be done.  The quote included the treatment for mold as well as an ozone treatment for the entire home and a carpet cleaning for one separate room.  The technicians came out the day after Grecia gave me the quote and completed all the work within a day. The following day, Grecia met me at the house to air it out after the ozone treatment and check in with me.  Everything looked fantastic and no longer had the smell of mold.   Several days later, we noticed that there was some mold around the edges of the bathtub, which had been overlooked.  I once again contacted Grecia and she immediately responded by having another technician return to the home the following morning to treat that area.  Once it was completed, Grecia checked in with me to make sure it was thoroughly treated.  I told her I really appreciated her customer service and professionalism regarding the entire project, especially with the callback  I would highly recommend SERVPRO of San Leandro and Grecia for their superior work and service.  In fact, I did recommend Grecia to a neighbor and friend and she used her as well.

"In my experience, they do the job right. It's almost always a stressful environment, as water, mold, sewage, and  smoke damage tend to get a home or business owner more than a little upset. SERVPRO of San Leandro has helped me, my family, and a friend at times, and in every case, we have been more than satisfied with their response time, their professionalism, and their work."

We had a terrible flood in our office building. Three floors were affected and the walls, floors, ceilings, and workstations all needed to be dried and repaired. Jose was very understanding and explained that he and his crew would do all they can to get us online and back in business ASAP. He made us feel that we were SERVPRO’s only clients and that got us feeling much better. The Techs were efficient, professional and compassionate. This made all the difference. I would recommend SERVPRO to other colleagues and friends. They really know what they’re doing!

Thorough assessment and explanation of the mold problem my rental property was dealing with. Thank you for scheduling the remediation for a time that was convenient for me, as well as my tenants.

SERVPRO should be one of the first calls you make after a major storm rolls through. That last one tore some roof shingles off the house, and being an older home, water was leaking in several areas, including the garage. SERVPRO arrived quickly and began gathering and removing the debris from the trees and what hand come off the roof. The team also began removing the water from the rain leaking in. They did their job quickly and prevented major water damage to the walls and likely mold growth. I highly recommend them when these storms come through the area.

One of the old trees in the yard was knocked down during a recent windy rain storm. It fell on the roof and caused some major damage. SERVPRO got a crew to us within a couple hours after I called and got moving! They cleaned up the parts of the roof that were in the yard and in the room they landed in. they picked up the fallen tree and got it prepped for removal, which they also handled! They were quick and very efficient. If the next storm causes damage, I am ready to call SERVPRO.

SERVPRO really came through for us in a big way! I manage the facilities at a large, regional car dealership that was broken into over a weekend, late at night. The alarm went off and I arrived shortly after the Police to find a large glass door and several glass window panels shattered with glass shards and sharp pieces scattered all over the front steps, entrance ramp, and showroom. This was a bad scene and not only unsafe for customers and employees but it was important to get cleaned up and boarded up very quickly. Even while the Insurance and Police were still there, SERVPRO responded immediately and their crew was hard at work with vacuums and brooms within minutes! Then they put up the secure wood sheets to provide the security we needed until everything was rebuilt. Quick to arrive, skilled, and professional.

Thank you to the Technicians and Specialists at SERVPRO who helped make a terrible situation better. A faulty electrical wire in a small house on our property caused a fire and burned it to the ground. Fortunately SERVPRO began the clean up quickly and gathered up all the charred material and hauled it away within a little more than a day. They also collected the water from the fire hoses and really got the place back in order. I had heard of SERVPRO for a long time and was very happy with their skill and promptness.
