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.”

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.

What our
customers are saying

Marco and team were responsive, flexible and professional from quote to delivery.  After a 4th of July house fire, the SERVPRO team was at our home and ready to get cleaning as soon as we called them.  Literally, within an hour or so from us calling, Marco and his manager were there, ready to do whataver we needed done.  

After a bunch of quotes and annoying processes with other companies, we called SERVPRO back and had them come do the work.  They matched the best quotes from their competition and did a great job.  

We are very thankful for Marco, Brian, and the rest of the SERVPRO team.

My subzero fridge supply line broke, say bye to the kitchen! A different SERVPRO came out first and they said it would take two weeks. I said heck no! I talked to my insurance and they said I can call SERVPRO of Santa Barbara because I'm within their service area. The office staff was extremely polite and had their team at my house in a few hours. Within the first two days they had the whole kitchen and neighboring bathroom demo-ed and it was dry in four days. It was excellent! I recommend SERVPRO of Santa Barbara to EVERYONE

I would highly recommend SERVPRO Santa Barbara to anyone in need of any emergency restoration. Jamie and his crew are fantastic. Fast, reliable and the restoration was perfect.

SERVPRO arrived when we had a fire in our house. They set up generator, HEPA filters and took pictures right away.  They did the clean up and the construction that follow since the house was almost 100 years old and the city required it be brought up to code.  Every person they had work on the house from the foundation to the roof did a fantastic job.  We just recommended them to friends who will have to clean up and rebuild after the Thomas Fire.  SERVPRO was friendly, personable but professional and understanding.  Danielle

I was incredibly impressed with the commitment and professionalism shown by all I communicated with at SERVPRO.  I contacted them after it was discovered that my brother had died during his sleep in his apartment.  They decontaminated and cleaned the apartment with compassion and really helped during a very difficult time.  Great job and I highly recommend them.

I was really lucky to find Jamie Glimp and SERVPRO. They managed a number of projects for me over the last year and did a fantastic job every time. They are extremely competent and professional. Their communication skills are the best I’ve ever seen when dealing with contractors. Their office person Katy is organized and thorough. They kept me informed at every stage of the projects they did for me, came when they said they were coming, checked on sub-contractors all the time, in short—they managed every project with skill and professionalism. They earned my trust at every turn, and I always felt I could depend on them to do jobs right. They never disappointed me, not once. I have the highest regard for their services and highly recommend them.
