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 are writing this letter in regard to the quality of work received when SERVPRO came to my home to fix a huge mess in the basement. The three men were very hard working and polite. They stayed much later than we would have expected. They took time from their families and lives to make ours better. The quality of service was outstanding.

Dear Mary and Crew:

I am enclosing the check for the excellent, superior cleaning job you completed for my mother and father's home on July 6, 2020! We were amazed at the care taken, the detail given, and the overall condition of her home once you had completed your work. I think you even cleaned things from when we moved in the house in 1986, if possible.

My idea of what I thought the cleaning would be was just going through, getting rid of the dust and refreshing the walls and carpets. To my surprise, it was so much more! The basement cleaning was totally unexpected and the garage, too. The home is literally move-in ready. In fact, I have bought new homes that were not as clean as mom's is now! She is looking down with a BIG smile on her face and is probably saying "Wow" herself. I know that she would definitely have done the same thing if she were selling the house herself. I knew by the time we got rid of things in the house, which was a daunting task, no one would be up to putting a polish on the house that was needed. I knew we were going to hire you because you are persnickety and detail-oriented, and I was right.

The house is now listed and ready for someone to enjoy your labor, too! Several of our family friends from outside the area have commented on the house's presentation, not just on the painting and things we did, but the sparkle and rejuvenation to the surfaces, too. It is generating more buzz than the house. Believe it or not, everyone asks who CLEANED the house.

You are by far a crew that SERVPRO can be proud to affiliate themselves with!



With much appreciation and even more satisfaction.

Suzie, Nina, Camille, Teresa and Karen
