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

Craig Wilson was who we worked with throughout the remediation process and played a big part in getting us back up and running. He was patient, communicative, and understanding of our family’s needs throughout the process, and worked with us to make sure everything was handled and put back in order. While the overall process wasn’t completely seamless, our experience working with Craig was positive and we appreciated his flexibility and professionalism throughout. Overall, I’d recommend SERVPRO and their services.

William Jamison

If you ever wondered whether that whole "Make like it never even happened happen" ad campaign was truthful? I'm here to tell you - It is. Quite happy with ServPro and Alex's, Claudia's, Juan's, and Enzo's teams, if really unhappy with why we needed their services in the first place. Board-up on day of event, water-and-smoke remediation/cleaning, textile cleaning (part of smoke remediation), unpacking return of textiles, and building contractor for a minor rebuild. Expensive? I dunno, I'd like to think you get what you pay for, and the expertise in dealing with this stuff professionally was readily apparent - and the people we dealt with were great. Biggest issue was on textile with some items that were damaged. In the grand scheme, nuisance, and not horrible. We don't ever want to go thru that again, but if we do, I wouldn't hesitate to work with ServPro again. They were great. Thanks.

A delivery truck hit my deck and damaged some siding as well. I am pleased with the professionalism and efficiency demonstrated by the SERVPRO team. The quality of the work met my expectations, and I appreciate the attention to detail during the cleanup and restoration. Thank you for your assistance during this time. I would not hesitate to recommend SERVPRO to others in need of restoration services.

Victor Cruz and team were amazing - prompt, professional, and expert. Solved our problem quickly and with great results. Thank you!

Chris O'Shea

We discovered mold in a small area of our home, and this company handled it carefully. They removed the affected section and treated the space to prevent it from returning. Compared to ignoring the issue, this gave us peace of mind. The process was explained clearly, and everything was completed within a few days.

Paul smiths

This is my second time using ServPro. It’s unfortunate when you need their services, but they make the whole process easy and seamless. Monica at the office catered to my specific needs and Victor and his crew were on time, polite, and efficient. They were in and out quickly, having completed a job well done. I would use ServPro again.

Anna Phillips

I can’t say enough great things about Victor and his team at Servpro. Victor took the time to thoroughly explain the process, set clear expectations, and ensure we felt confident every step of the way. His team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated my space with care and respect. What truly stood out was their commitment to doing the job right—not just quickly, but thoroughly. It’s rare to find a team that combines expertise with such a high level of customer service. I would absolutely recommend Victor and his team to anyone in need of restoration services. Top-tier experience from start to finish.

Ashley Toney
