Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?
A business or homeowner in the northwestern Chicago suburbs can never be sure if the stress and worry of a biohazard disaster lie ahead. Aging waste pipes can send sewage backward into your basement, or a troubled friend or relation can fail to come to grips with a hoarding situation. These and other tragedies need the assistance of certified and experienced biohazard mitigation technicians.
SERVPRO of Buffalo Grove / Lake Zurich has the experience and specialized training to clean up a wide range of biohazards. Methamphetamine labs and home invasions, vandalism and homicides, unattended deaths and crime scene chemicals all pose risks. Blood, urine, and feces all carry pathogens that can put occupants at risk. Occasionally building materials from earlier eras also expose people and pets to known hazards like lead and asbestos.
Careful containment of the hazardous substances, thorough cleaning, and disinfection with EPA-registered antimicrobial can make contaminated spaces safe for living and commerce. Our crews master and maintain the skills needed for these tasks, available for you to reclaim your home or business property.

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.”

Through our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program, we offer a specialized viral pathogen deep cleaning service that ensures that you and your space are both healthy and clean. SERVPRO can assist with C diff, HIV-1, Norovirus, MRSA, and many other viruses and bacteria.
Illicit Substances

Our technicians specialize in the safe, thorough removal of chemical residues left behind after emergencies, law enforcement activity, or industrial accidents. We can handle a wide range of hazardous materials and contamination scenarios, such as:

SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.
Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:
- Blood

must be removed and the affected area decontaminated to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.

You all worked so fast to dry up the house that we didn’t have to lose any of the original materials of our reclaimed farmhouse. Thank you so much.
Joseph, Matias and Xavier did and excellent job, above and beyond anyone that has ever done work for us. I thank you.
I did not know what we would do when our house caught fire and it seemed like there was too much damage to save it. I did not anticipate the level of dedication I could expect from your company, and now, I have my house back again. Thank you.
I don’t usually review companies, but I felt like after your crew went above and beyond for my house, I should at the very least do this for you. SERVPRO is the real deal and they do excellent work.
We were all put certain that once we discovered mold in our restaurant, that we would be fighting it forever. Your amazing team helped us to remove the mold and worked to provide a solution to prevent moisture from allowing it to happen again.
As difficult as it was to see our home so badly damaged, I knew that your SERVPRO professionals had the knowledge and expertise to restore it. I am grateful for the work the entire team did.
I was always skeptical of professional restoration until I had no other choice. Now I will tell everyone to contact you first. You’ve made a believer out of me.
