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.

We want to thank you and your company; you made our horror story so much more bearable.

Everyone was so thorough, friendly and did a wonderful job. We stopped out to the house last night and when I opened the door, I had a wow moment. It looked and smelled wonderful.

We want to thank your crew for being so quick on getting us back in our home again and for being the great caring people they are.

What a wonderful company you have helping people in distress. Must be a good feeling knowing what a difference each and every one of you make to people when they are down and out.

With tears in my eyes while typing this due to pure gratitude…………We sincerely thank you all.

I bring my rugs to you often for cleaning. I probably could buy new ones but can’t seem to find anything I like. But you guys do a splendid job cleaning them, so I don’t need to find new ones!

I enjoy seeing all the social media posts that not only educate and entertain, they inform on what classes and events are coming up. I won free coffee for our office but donated it to another business since I am the only one who drinks coffee. I also want to congratulate SERVPRO on the actions they take to make us feel safe and protected at the CE classes with Covid going around. I feel fully comfortable attending classes in person hosted by them because I know every precaution will be taken; from the tables being 6 feet apart to hand sanitizer being easily accessible. Wonderful job!! I highly recommend SERVPRO of Black Hawk County/Decorah!
