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

SERVPRO came to our home after we found water damage in our basement after being away on vacation.  We were so worried about how it was going to get done, who was going to do it and how much it would cost.  I called your company because I heard great things about your office in Newport.  I have to say the amount of expertise shown by your staff was very impressive.  Keep up the great work.

On August 14th I had Sean come out to my home and inspect for mold.  He was extremely thorough and showed my husband some ways to help.  He also gave us a fair price to do the work and we scheduled to have it done.  So far, I have been nothing short of amazed.....

I believe you are the best service company that exists. I have had different companies do work at our home and I must say your company is hands down the easiest people to work with. I thank you for that.

I liked your company at my home.  They did not talk much and left me to do my errands.  I like that you talked to the insurance company for me and they handled all the money for me.  I liked talking to the office people on the phone and they were able to explain everything to me.

Recently, your company came to my home during a water damage mess.  My ice maker was leaking for some unknown period until it was discovered.  When your men came they found some mold and assured me they could take care of it.  Everything they said they could do, they did.  They explained the process before they started and showed me the finished area.  I am so happy to have called in your company.  Please let the men know I thought they were magnificent.
