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

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I had an accident over the weekend when we got about 5 inches of rain in 24 hours where a door to my car was left open…. I am not from this area. I immediately called Saturday morning early and they told me they were closed Saturdays but they could have a technician come out and get fans and dehumidifiers going in my car immediately. We had already gotten the large chunk of water out but my carpet inside the car was still soaked. The fact that a business was willing to do that, and not charge an arm and a leg to take it on a weekend and have it run with fans over the weekend was so huge. I am a single mom and I have been screwed over at dealerships and for certain services by myself at times and the fact that this place was so kind and considerate is huge. I will tell everyone about how nice they were! The girl on the phone for booking was nice and the technician was super nice and professional. 100/10 recommend. THANK YOU!

Adina Blazevic

I found the pricing to be somewhat high. Although I did not decide to use this company to resolve my issue, Chris was a very knowledgeable and thorough team member. He went above and beyond to help me resolve my issue.

Gini Mormon

Like how they called before they came. Logan and Matt very professional and personable. Explained the process, pricing, and asked if any questions. They cleaned the upholstery on our couch and did a great job. Explained other services and mentioned 10% discount for repeat customers. Very impressed. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Barb Russell

I am beyond impressed with the service. My carpet was a mess from a dog and stained from food dye. They were honest about the fact that the food dye would possibly fade but more than likely not come out. The food dye did come out, the carpet looks incredible. The guys were extremely profressional and nice. They went beyond what I expected by even helping move a heavy piece of furniture to my garage. I had only asked they move it to clean the carpet and then move it back because I could not, that I would figure out getting rid of it later. This is the second time I have contacted ServPro to clean this carpet and they did a great job the first time but an even better job this time. Highly recommend.

ServPro is a phenomenal company that is thorough, hardworking, and most importantly, honest with their business practices and pricing. They really do place the customer needs first. I had a water pipe break causing water damage in 2 floors of my house. My insurance company used a pariah company out of Cedar Rapids (avoid that area at all costs!) and I demanded they be fired. I replaced them with ServPro here in Clinton, IA. They had originally performed some testing for us on the construction project in town for Purina to which we were all very impressed with them. I was more than happy that they gave the same level of care and customer service in the residential sector as they had in the commercial sector! Call them and use them. I can assure you with 100% certainty that you will not regret it. I can’t speak for other offices but the Clinton, IA group is first class!

Caleb Bowen

Excellent, excellent and even more excellent. Matt and Logan did awesome job and honestly I have never had a bad experience in the past 10 years that Servpro has been cleaning my carpets. Prices are fair and service is spectacular

Maureen Gulatto

They do a great job

Dawn Eickert

Have never had someone ever come up to the standard of excellence as the crew who worked on our basement, especially the lead crew people. There was at least two maybe three that were doing that. Your company is so fortunate to have people like that working for you. They were the best of the best. Would recommend them to anyone. What a job they did.

Mary Roling

Thankful for such wonderful service. I’m more than satisfied.
