Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

How Do You Choose Biohazard Cleaning Companies?

Because of sensitive situations that require biohazard cleaning and remediation services, choosing the right company to address these concerns is critical. As a leading restoration company in the area, our SERVPRO professionals can provide thorough and complete biohazard restoration solutions ranging from disinfection to build back where necessary. We provide many services, including: 

  • Sewage cleanup
  • Hoarder cleaners
  • Hazmat companies
  • Biohazard cleaning company
  • Rodent clean up services
  • Crime scene cleanup
  • Disinfecting companies
  • Biohazard remediation

How Quickly Can Sewage Cleanup Occur? 

Because of the spread and severity of bacterial and viral pathogens, addressing sewage backup and cleaning immediately is necessary. Our SERVPRO team can arrive quickly, 24/7, to help. Often containment and disinfection are crucial elements to successful sewage removal and restoration of the property. 

What Biohazard Remediation is Possible for Crime Scenes?

Cleaning up after a drama or crime scene can involve many potent cleaning agents and solvents specifically designed to remove certain substances and fluids. Organic matter and infectious materials must be handled carefully and safely, which is why professional biohazard remediation is required. 

Who Needs Professional Rodent Cleanup Services?  

When mice or rats invest at home, nesting and other high traffic areas can become overrun with bacterial microbes. These microorganisms can spread through the HVAC system and other pathways to become a threat for house occupants. Our professionals provide a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the property after rodents get exterminated and removed.

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.

We hired SERVPRO to do mold remediation in our basement and to do the finish work. They were so responsive and easy to work with. Professional office staff as well as the guys who did the work. Clean, left no mess and did an absolutely beautiful job! Highly recommend these guys! Special shout out to Colette!

I came home from vacation to water damage caused by my washing machine. I called SERVPRO and they had a crew at my house within a few hours. They took care of everything! 
I would highly recommend using their services. Everyone I dealt with was professional knowledgeable and competent.

Two fantastic organizations. Both management teams were extremely competent, knowledgeable, professional and courteous at all times. Our loss came during the three nor’easters and never once was I unable to get a return call from management. Both teams stepped in when the adjuster and insurance company only wanted to cover 2/3 of the loss, thru their efforts 100% was covered. One of SERVPRO subcontractors made a mistake and SERVPRO made sure it did not affect the outcome and it had no effect on the customer. Your staffs are terrific, I’ll never forget in the beginning with SERVPRO one of the staff came to me and said “We are SERVPRO Cape Cod and you have nothing to worry about”. He was right and I thought what a great company to have staff that proud of their company. ADS was absolutely amazing the competence and craftsmanship are second to none the job they did we could not have been more satisfied with. I was in the building business, Dan came by at the end of the job and asked me to provide a punch list I said that it was unnecessary due to Dave Elias was there and there is no punch list. He is a real craftsman with great customer skills. Your companies are the gold standard and we couldn’t be more proud or happy with the jobs your two companies provided it was an absolute pleasure working with management and staff, thank you.

In writing this I could not remember all the names of everybody that touched this job, but there wasn’t anybody that didn’t display the highest in professionalism and competence, they all should be commended.

My seller and I, as the real estate agent, had an exceptional experience with their professionalism and knowledge. We especially appreciated the manner they handled going in and out of the basement not to disturb the new loam and seed in back yard. Thank you.

We could not have asked for quicker or more professional service.  I would not hesitate to call on SERVPRO of Upper Cape Cod and the Islands with any type of cleanup or restoration services.

We started construction on a new bathroom and the contractor advised us there was a lot a black mold hidden from view. Our contractor recommended SERVPRO and a couple of others, and I called SERVPRO first. I should note that I live on Nantucket and it can be very difficult to get any work done, especially if you are dealing with people off Island. Christy in their office was knowledgeable and helpful. She got things scheduled very efficiently.


Will arrived to inspect and was on time. I found out that this SERVPRO office was a family business and it was clear to me that Will took pride in that. Unfortunately for us, we had a major mold problem that extended to several rooms. He walked me through what they would do, which included cleaning and installing a vapor barrier in our crawlspace.

The crew who came to do the work was very professional, very thorough and cleaned up after themselves. The work took several days to complete. We also got advice about how to avoid this problem in the future (use of dehumidifiers, which areas to do a more thorough cleaning and using anti-mold paint).


Several weeks later our contractor removed more wallboard and to my horror, there was Black mold everywhere. I called SERVPRO right away and Will came over to do another inspection and estimate (no charge for this). Once again right on time and he told us that we didn't need their services. The plywood with the mold was going to be removed by our contractor. He said that is all we would need. He confirmed our contractor's opinion that this was not an active site and pointed out places where the new construction would have to be adapted. Our contractor was in complete agreement.


I cannot recommend SERVPRO more highly as people who do excellent work when you need it and tell you when you don't need it.
