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

Keep doing what you guys accomplished. Great workers and very professional. They care more about the people more than the problem which is priority. When they take care of the people everything else falls into place. I hope to not need them again, but if so, it's a no brainier who I'm gonna call. Thanks!

Great experience with cleaning my business which unfortunately was related to COVID 19. Steve their Operations manager came out early morning to inspect and talk about what happened. His explanation & knowledge about moving forward was so professional, my biggest take away was him saying "I just want you, your employees and business to feel safe after I clean". Amazing service!
