Services We Provide
Crime Scene and Trauma
Crime scene and trauma cleanup requires a compassionate, professional, and timely response. We approach these situations with both technical expertise and respect for the people involved. Serious health hazards are posed by hazardous substances like:
- Blood
- Bodily fluids
- Decomposing tissue
Our professionals are trained to deal with these unique and sensitive issues using specialized, state-of-the-art equipment. We focus on ensuring that your home or business can return to a clean and safe environment as quickly as possible.
Death and Suicide
Discovering the remains of someone who’s passed away is a shocking and tragic experience. SERVPRO understands and is here to help, bringing compassion and the necessary tools and resources to discreetly clean, disinfect, and deodorize the affected area.
Suicide presents many hardships. Your peace of mind is important to us, and our discreet and speedy cleanup and sanitization process will ease your stress. We’re dedicated to providing speedy, discreet, and considerate cleanup so you can concentrate on your family or business affairs.
Hoarding Cleanup
Dealing with extreme clutter seems like an impossible task. Where do I start? How do I remove everything? How do I ensure that it’s sanitary? SERVPRO can provide the answers, expertise, and resources to bring your property back to a sanitary and habitable space.
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.”
Viruses & Pathogens
Through our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program, we offer a specialized viral pathogen deep cleaning service that ensures that you and your space are both healthy and clean. SERVPRO can assist with C diff, HIV-1, Norovirus, MRSA, and many other viruses and bacteria.
Illicit Substances
The production and use of illegal drugs can result in exposure to volatile and harmful chemicals. Our professionals follow federal and state guidelines when cleaning and decontaminating the affected areas of your home or business.
Chemicals and Residues
Our technicians specialize in the safe, thorough removal of chemical residues left behind after emergencies, law enforcement activity, or industrial accidents. We can handle a wide range of hazardous materials and contamination scenarios, such as:
- Fingerprint powder
- Tear gas
- Pepper spray
- Fire extinguishers
SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.
Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:
- Blood
- Drug Residue
- Bodily Fluids
must be removed and the affected area decontaminated to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.
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.
Call Emergency Personnel
Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.
Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself
Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.
Stay Out Of The Area
Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
What our
customers are saying
I have used SERVPRO on several occasions professionally. The response time, pricing, and staff are fabulous. The work is completed quickly and efficiently. The staff are so clean, you would never even know they were there after each job. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a quality remediation company. Great work.
Very reassuring with entire process.
Great Guys-Very Knowledgeable-would certainly call again if needed!
We discovered our basement was flooded, and within an hour or so SERVPRO was in our home, assessing the damage, doing everything that could possibly be done to minimize further damage. To say the response time was quick would be a complete understatement. To say service was great would also fail to do them justice. They were utterly amazing. They eased all of our fears, helped us work through what’s going to happen and truly went above and beyond. No corners were cut, and the team was exceptional with communicating everything to us! I will never use another company, and can’t thank SERVPRO enough. Their equipment has been running all night to dry everything out, and within 18 hours from our original call, it’s already a completely different basement! Highly highly recommend!
SERVPRO of Frederick County acted quickly when our local YMCA flooded for the second time in 2 years. We had an emergency plan in place (provided by SERVPRO of Frederick County), which helped our staff to respond quickly. Thank you to SERVPRO for getting us back in business.
I *STRONGLY* recommend SERVPRO. I was delighted with its service and -- although I hope I never HAVE to use them again! -- was very satisfied by the help I got. SERVPRO helped fix this water leakage disaster quickly and as painlessly as possible. In no area did SERVPRO fall short.
The team was most courteous and I was most impressed with their knowledge and hard work. Julio was great and I would highly recommend him and his team to everyone.
Excellent service! Excellent staff! The best!!! Thank you for being there for me at this difficult time.
I could not be happier with the job they did.
