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

Very courteous and professional. The guys and the after photos were great. The before pictures were not so great. Definitely recommend them.

Todd & Laura

Linda,Cyndel and Michaela did a great jog after our basement flood. Hard workers yet very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Servpro.

Dennis Babcock

I recently had the ice maker line break on my refrigerator and flood my kitchen in the middle of the night. It was not a pleasant morning, but, it got better once I called Servpro. Aaron came out to assess my situation and quickly got the wet flooring removed and fans running so that the house can dry out. He was also very helpful in navigating the process and working with the insurance company. Once dry, Servpro reinstalled my cabinets and floors. Brian and Lance did an excellent job for me and were easy to work with and respectful of my situation and home. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I need these type of services, I’m going to call Servpro!

Roger Moehl

Jay and Brock arrived on time and communicated the steps they were taking to remove the damaged materials - very professional employees.

Professional group, friendly , informative and didn’t gouge on unnecessary work or items like extra fans etc. The manager Aaron to the staff who picked up humidifier a few days later were awesome. Highly recommend them because when you need help they’re the best.

ARTHUR MILLER

A big shout out to Serv Pro at Michigan City for their awesome work! On Thanksgiving Day, I had the misfortune of having a small porch fire. This was non structural but sent smoke damage into the porch and basement stairwell. The project manager, Barb, was great and put together a crew to mitigate the smoke damage and clean up. I had several different workers on site, but the two gals, Makayla and Amy, were there for two days working in a cold porch and basement stairwell. They did a fabulous job and even discarded the outside damaged materials buried in the snow. If you find yourself in need of quality help in a bad situation, consider Serv Pro of Michigan City to get you back to normal!

Jim Wurster

The Servpro gentlemen were truly pros! They responded quickly to our issue and promptly scheduled a time to do our demo and clean up. They were very responsive and our negotiations were fair. I would absolutely recommend SeevPro of La Porte!
