Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

SERVPRO® franchise professionals offer cleaning services including the removal of biohazard contaminants. 

The CDC is responding to an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The virus known as “coronavirus disease 2019” (“COVID-19”) is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person or through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. 

SERVPRO professionals can perform a proactive cleanup that involves facility or structure cleaning and disinfection where the customer states that there is no active known threat of COVID-19 contamination or exposure. The customer will be required to acknowledge that cleaning and disinfecting will only apply to the current state of the structure and contents. The structure would not be protected from future COVID-19 contamination if an infected person was to enter and occupy the building.

The CDC encourages cleaning of surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and tables at a minimum.


SERVPROXIDE™, SERVPRO’s proprietary disinfectant, is a hospital-grade disinfectant that has
demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 on hard, non-porous
surfaces. In addition, SERVPROXIDE™ currently has dozens of EPA-approved claims including
Feline coronavirus, Canine coronavirus.

As the #1 choice in cleanup and restoration, we can minimize the spread of germs with a proactive cleaning for you home or business. Give us a call at 518-677-3444.

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

They did an excellent job with the repairs. My only issue is with the communication. The process and what to expect wasn't communicated.

All members of the Servpro crew with whom I interacted were friendly, professional and helpful. They worked diligently in often difficult conditions and completed the job in good time. In addition, the admin staff in the office were pleasant and responsive. I am very happy with Servpro's service and heartily recommend them to anyone who needs them.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Servpro for the restoration of our basement, which had been sitting unused for two years. I am absolutely thrilled with the results! The team made it look so much better, almost new. A huge thank you to Harley, Dan, Stacey, and Rob for their incredible work. They were not only professional and thorough but also exceptionally kind throughout the entire process. They truly went above and beyond, taking care of even the small details that I didn't expect them to handle. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Servpro to anyone in need of their services. Thank you again, Harley, Dan, Stacey, and Rob, for your outstanding dedication and hard work!
