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.

The SERVPRO team came in and handled everything without any hassle. They were professional, prompt, and it truly felt like they cared about our situation. Everything was in disarray when our basement flooded and we lost furniture, carpet, clothes, and more, but they took card of everything. I would Highly Recommend.

It is very rare-to receive outstanding service, but SERVPRO of Matteson-Homewood delivers uncompromised service. Bobby Nichols of SERVPRO came highly recommended and after this I could do the same. His crew was phenomenal. The workers never ceased to listen and help. As the work continued, we were amazed at the work ethic. As demolition concluded, Bobby Nichols' true empathy shone. Efficiency and skill can be counted on when you employ Bobby Nichols. He and his company are our heroes.
