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 was very responsive to the water damage at our house. Trevor and his team were here very quickly, immediately working to limit any further damage and begin the process of getting everything dried. Their communication throughout the mitigation and rebuild process was fantastic - always letting us know what was going to be happening next. Their attention to detail and coordination of the entire project was much appreciated. We were also comfortable with all of the people here working in our house. While a problem like this can be stressful, making your first call to SERVPRO will serve you well!

I never imagined being faced with a having a house fire and needing to navigate moving out, cleanup, and reconstruction. SERVPRO met with me the day of the fire and we put a plan together. The expertise, service excellence and guidance was beyond anything I could have hoped for. They made a very complex process much simpler and helped me navigate every step - large and small. It made something that was terrible into something that was manageable. Having a number of people in your house everyday, working on your behalf and trying so hard to get you back home ... Wow and THANK YOU! I am forever grateful.
