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.

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

Still in the process of getting the ceiling to dry from a waterpipe bursting. Roger and Cam have been great at communicating, arriving on time, and being courteous and professional! As far as ServPro, the company - So far, so good. And, to the managers there at ServPro - please continue to work with people getting them back to where they were before the disaster and not giving in before the job is complete and safety measures are in place. This is very much appreciated. Thank you again to Roger and Cam! Stacey S. Kalona, Iowa

Roger has been amazing to work with at Servpro. Never makes me feel like I am a burden when I have a lot of questions. The job will get done right with Roger around!

Dylan Blair and Jacob Morrill did an awesome job cleaning up our basement. They were on time and did a through job!

ServPro of Iowa City/Coralville was compassionate, prompt, and thorough in responding to the water damage caused by a frozen pipe that burst on a Sunday. Jacob Morrill was a true professional and immediately helped us begin the mitigation process. We’re also especially grateful to Dylan Blair for his dedication and hard work in ensuring everything was completely dried out and that our home was restored as quickly as possible.

Kelly McDonald

Jacob and Dylan both came out to the business I was at right away, in the middle of the night. They were professional, polite, and cleaned up the excesswater we had promptly.

Hudson Haynes

Absolutely fabulous experience. Zach showed up within an hour of my emergency call placed. In the midst of my water damage, Zach and Jacob were great guys to work with. They showed up the following 4 days to monitor progress. By the 5th day they were able to remove all fans and humidifiers. They were so kind and funny, and provided some much needed comedic relief during my stress and panic. I would absolutely use them again!

Katie Bernhard

Highly recommend ServPro — had a giant leak from an upstairs radiator go unnoticed for an hour. Completely soaked through the hard wood floor and into my lath and plaster ceiling on the floor below. Now bueno. Called ServPro that evening around 4:30pm — had a team at my house by 5:30pm THAT EVENING. Absolutely insane. Roger and Jacob were fantastic. Assessed everything quickly, brought out the big fans to get things drying, and commiserated with me enough to make me laugh and relax a bit. 11/10 would highly recommend!

Guillermo Gutierrez

Good communication and great work Roger was very helpful and responsive to my questions provided great information!

Bob Sherman

We called Serve Pro after being given their name by our insurance agent after experiencing a water issue. Serve Pro sent their employee Zach Andersen and he was amazing! He arrived quickly, within 30 minutes of our call. He calmly went to work, worked tirelessly to solve our issue, brought in other staff as needed, had high standards for cleanup and was extremely knowledgeable, skilled, pleasant and communicated clearly with us. We were so lucky to have gotten Zach’s help. I highly recommend Zach and his team at Serve Pro.
