Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

Preparedness is critical when a team prepares to address bio-threats that exist in homes and businesses from Emerson to Hillsdale. Our technicians understand how stressful bio-hazardous conditions can become, so we approach these situations with sincere empathy and compassion. Getting our customers through the incident is as vital to our team as fully recovering the effects and damages. With our extensive training to handle these scenarios, our biohazard cleaning division of the SERVPRO team is among our most knowledgeable and experienced.

With both our accreditations in multiple niches of the restoration industry from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and our training and certifications from the American Bio-Recovery Association, we can address the threats of traumas, crime scenes, hoarding, infestations, chemical spills, deaths, and sewage. We can even address bloodborne and other pathogenic threats with our specialized training for this threat.

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

A few weeks ago my neighbor had a messy sewer back-up and my husband and I remembered the green trucks in the driveway. The other day we woke up to no hot water and discovered our water heater had broke in the middle of the night. I called my insurance then my neighbor across the street and they both recommended SERVPRO of Paramus. We called and you guys didn't disappoint. Polite, professional and friendly. They knew what they were doing and made a stressful situation much less stressful. I also called my insurance agent to tell them to keep recommending you guys. Very appreciative for all you did.

SERVPRO saved us when we realized at 7pm that we had inches of water in our basement. Someone was at our house within 2 hours. He was professional, knowledgeable and very nice. Joe and his crew followed up first thing in the morning over the next 3 days. They were neat and thorough in their work. Could not have asked for a better experience.

About Us

As part of the beautiful Garden State, our SERVPRO team stays vigilant and prepared for disasters and emergencies that can affect thousands of homes and businesses throughout our slice of New Jersey. We recognize how critical it is to get the right qualified personnel to an emergency promptly because making a customer wait is asking them to pay more or allowing their property to get more severely damaged. We care about our clients as a locally owned and operated team, and we are led by our owners Anthony & Danielle Palumbo, who know that disaster relief matters more when it is helping your neighbors and friends.

We also know that you do not have the time or the money to seek out qualified and reputable restoration specialists for every phase of recovery that your home or business needs. That is why our SERVPRO team features all of the personnel necessary to see your project through from the initial inspection and walkthrough into cleaning and the final approval from our customers and insurance adjusters. We offer a full-service, comprehensive approach to save you time and money.

We are gratefully a part of a Large Loss Recovery Team as well, helping to address widespread concerns that can impact our large commercial properties like Paramus Park or even more substantial homes and properties through Woodcliff Lake, River Edge, and other areas we serve.

We understand that our success over the years is not just relative to the speed of our response or the effectiveness of our certified technicians. In many ways, our regional success gets tied to how our team gives back to our communities and its people throughout Bergen County. We are always active in our area, with fundraisers, golf outings, and our involvement with Paramus Rotary, the American Red Cross, Knights of Columbus, and our work with the Westwood Fire Department and homeless veteran organizations.

Emergencies can occur in many ways, including water, fire, mold, storms, flooding, biohazards, and other damaging situations. No matter when disasters strike, you can count on our SERVPRO of Paramus professionals to make it “Like it never even happened.”
