Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

Some unfortunate incidents that affect a house or commercial site have little to do with destructive changes. Contamination involving biohazards can happen with no forewarning. Some involve trauma experienced by people, and others occur because of invasive species like wildlife.

Biohazards not only create an unpleasant environment no matter where we experience them, but they can also create an unsafe situation. SERVPRO of Hyde Park / E. Bridgeport / Bronzeville's technicians holding AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation) and HST (Health and Safety) certificates understand the importance of thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the area involved. We use personal protective equipment, from boots and gloves to face masks and full suits when needed to protect ourselves as we clean up situations.

We also implement air scrubbers with HEPA filters to remove biohazards from the air. Microscopic bacteria and viruses become trapped and unable to cause possible illnesses or other harm. We understand that situations involving biohazards often go hand-in-hand with distraught feelings. You can rely on our professionalism and understanding at all times but especially when you and others need it most.

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.”

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.


1.svg

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

I called right away when I saw the water running down my walls after the storm hit. SERVPRO arrived quickly and placed a tarp on the roof to prevent more water coming in. They then removed all of the water that came in. Thanks!

The smoke and pungent smell from my kid’s attempt at cooking was pretty bad. Yet, your man came out and got rid of the smells as we went to a fast food place to eat. Good job.

Chris and his team did and amazing job cleaning my basement after a flood from a pile that burst. Chris is super nice, professional, and knowledgeable. The team showed up right on time (I love punctual people) and ready to work. He took his time explaining everything that was going to or could take place. I had a lot of water damage and mold forming in majority of my basement. They took their time and did everything thoroughly. They were able to remove and treat all of the places with mold and they took care of my items that were salvageable. They also did a great job cleaning up behind themselves. Give Chris a raise he’s amazing!

Good Morning.
I just wanted to let you know the job you did for our insured, Frank Y. went very well. He was raving about how wonderful it went and how impressed he was that Frank had stopped by to check on everything and the end. he said the communication with the Hartford adjuster was seamless and he couldn't be happier!

It really gives me great peace of mind knowing I can refer our clients to you, and know they will be satisfied because you always go above and beyond.
