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.

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.

What our
customers are saying

My family and I were very pleased with ServPro’s work on our house. We had significant water damage that required a remodel of our entire upstairs and our downstairs bathroom. ServPro was efficient, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. I would recommend ServPro Buffalo Grove to anyone!

A sump pump recently failed in my home. Two inches of water filled the basement. Hector and his team from Servpro did an excellent job in removing the water, cleaning and drying out the space , wrapping the contents and many other services. Hector and his team were informative, on time and helpful. All other spaces were cleaned . With their help, they made a difficult situation a bit easier. I would highly recommend using them if the situation arises.
