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.

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

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.

Tim and SERVPRO did s wonderful job for a real estate client of mine, and ultimately kept our home sale transaction together. During the home inspection, we found an ejector pump in the crawl space of the home had stopped functioning. By the extent of the damage, it had probably been in disrepair for years, and the cleanup job was extensive. Tim and his team were able to get in there quickly to address the problem and handle the cleanup, which kept our buyer in the deal and we closed on time. Thank you for your responsiveness, hard work, and follow through.
