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

Scotty and crew, Especially Jeremiah, did a fantastic job on my basement project last summer. These are your go to guys!!

Carl Stessman

Servpro was at our home within an hour after being called. A big storm landed a tree and 3” of rain on our house. The tree broke through our skylight pouring water over everything. Jeremiah and his team helped us get through a trying time! They communicated with us often, telling us what they were doing and why. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Jean Firman

Jeremiah and the Serv Pro team did an excellent job managing the sewer backup in our basement. Jeremiah did a great job communicating the steps along the way during a stressful event. We greatly appreciated his construction knowledge to explain what we needed to know, next steps, and the reasons why things needed to be done. The crew was helpful, capable and accountable. Highly recommend Serv Pro!

Robin Frost

Brett and his crew saved the day for us. I called them in a panic and they handled everything from showing up asap to being available every time I had a question. They literally were lifesavers. This was our first experience with something like this and they were compassionate and understanding and all their workers were very professional. They gave great advice on what to do next after all the cleaning was taken care of. We highly recommend their services! Thank you guys!!

Emily Taylor

We were one day out from a family vacation to Florida. So of course that's when our outside spigot decided to burst INSIDE our finished basement. Water everywhere. Not knowing what to do, we called Serv Pro and Devante and his team were top notch. They obviously knew what they were doing, assured me they had seen these types of incidents many times before, and professionally figured out just how much of the basement needed to be demolished, dryed out, and restored. They interfaced with my father in law the following week so my family and I could still go on our vacation. They brought peace of mind, professionalism, and expertise to the work that otherwise would have been very stressful for us to find individual contractors to do all the various pieces of the job. I would 100% recommend Serv Pro any time life hands you one of those moments as a home owner where you don't know what to do!

Ben Arnold

Brett and his team were fantastic! Dealing with water in your house where you don't want it is stressful!! Luckily ServePro was there for us and helped calm me down as you can tell they really care about getting your house back up and running. They were a bright light at a dark time.
