Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?
A biohazard is, as the name suggests, any biological danger. Biohazards are dangerous to human health and therefore require safe clean-up solutions. Biohazards are substances like human blood and fluids (or related substances), animal waste, microbiological wastes, pathological wastes and medical sharps.
Because of the health concerns surrounding biohazard clean-up there are a lot of regulations on how to properly dispose and address biological waste. Failing to take a biohazard seriously can create a more dangerous situation which then contributes to unhealthy environments.
The clean-up pros at SERVPRO of Elmhurst have received specific training to address biohazard situations. We have the experience and work with the necessary urgency to make sure that the mess is cleaned quickly and effectively.
Let us help!

Hoarding Cleanup
Dealing with extreme clutter seems like an impossible task. Where do I start? How do I remove everything? How do I ensure that it’s sanitary? SERVPRO can provide the answers, expertise, and resources to bring your property back to a sanitary and habitable space.
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.”
Viruses & Pathogens
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
The production and use of illegal drugs can result in exposure to volatile and harmful chemicals. Our professionals follow federal and state guidelines when cleaning and decontaminating the affected areas of your home or business.
Chemicals and Residues
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:
- Fingerprint powder
- Tear gas
- Pepper spray
- Fire extinguishers
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
- Drug Residue
- Bodily Fluids
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.
What our
customers are saying
Ron and his team at SERVPRO of Elmhurst were excellent in handling the water backup problem we had in our basement. I was very happy and grateful that they were prompt because I was concerned with mold growing! They were very courteous and professional and got the job done. I would definitely use them again with any water issues at our home. Thank you!
We had such a positive experience with SERVPRO. Unfortunately our finished basement flooded with a good few inches of water and we had to tear everything out - drywall, carpet, furniture, boxes, toys etc. It was a disaster.
Fortunately, we called the right people to help make the whole cleanup and insurance process as painless as it could have been. They were quick to respond, come and take care of removing and cleaning everything down there, including mold prevention strategies. They got to us quickly enough that there wasn't any mold growing yet.
Everyone was so kind, efficient, and professional, from my first call, to the actual men coming in to do the work, to calls to deal with insurance reimbursement, and just following up to make sure we were happy with how things were going.
I can't think of anything they could have done that would have made this very stressful event a better experience for us. Hopefully we don't ever need these kinds of services again, but if we do, I'd call them.
Karl and his team are wonderful people. They even took time out of their day to stop by our facility with wonderful donations for our rescue dogs to make the dogs waiting on forever homes Christmas better.
Thank you so much to Sabrina for having us at the golf outing network event - she’s great to work with and gave us the opportunity to meet new people.
When you are dealing with unexpected situations and you don’t know where to turn. That’s where SERVPRO comes in. All around great service and experience.
Having a company that does everything from the floor to the ceiling is awesome to have at your side. We had them clean the space and they took on the job like it was a major loss and completed it so fast it gave us time to have an extra day to get ready for the kids. Thank you for setting the expectations and making them a reality.
If Jim can keep my attention for 3 hours for an ethics class and I come away more educated then before the class I can only believe they WOW all of there clients. Look forward to more of the classes so I can pass along the knowledge to the company and client. Thank you.
Our basement looks so beautiful! Thank you!!
We purchased our home from the bank with a water damaged basement. The SERVPRO team came and assessed the damage and did thorough mold mitigation to help ease our mind before we commenced renovations. Three years later we have never had a problem. Our basement is clean, dry and completely livable. Ron and his team are thorough, efficient and only use safe, environmentally friendly products.
