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.

TODD PAYTON

SERVPRO did an amazing job after we experienced a fire at one of our residential buildings. They were extremely thorough and had exceptional customer service. I would most certainly recommend this company.

Peggy Kohler

Serv Pro came out and cleaned our home from a severe action that took place. The crew that came out was very professional and cleaned our house to above standards. I would highly recommend Serv Pro to anybody looking for their house to be cleaned in any disaster. I want to think the team that came out and they are. Cris, Aldrik, Kenny and Ricky. What an awesome group. Thank you so much!!!!

I can't give my S.Pro staff 5 stars because they deserve all the stars in the galaxy! Your worst day is having a flood or fire. But your best day is when S.Pro pulls out of your driveway and you get to turn around and embrace the beauty they have restored...like it never happened. And, they won't go until you are satisfied. I tried! My team was led by Todd and I was blessed with Walter* Matthew* and Steve. They were exceptional. Also polite, timely, professional, hard working, knowledgeable, always cleaned up and kept me entertained with their version of humor. Their standards were higher than mine and their attention to detail was impressive. My condo went from a disaster to a master piece. I was always reminded i was the customer and I was always offered the choices to make and the final decision. In a time where customer service is fading, these guys didn't get the memo. Walter and Matt are masters in their craft. Their collective years of experience and skill are a gift to us, the customer. If they can't fix or collectively solve an issue, they reinvent it to a higher satisfaction. There are other choices for disaster clean up, but you dont know what they do or dont know. The first day i was aware of the capability of my crew. I then tossed aside my worry and never looked back. S. Pro does it once. .they do it right. The elaborative planning and strategic detail for each home is elaborate and reassuring. You may not be fortunate enough to get Walter or Matthew, but if they are from S.Pro, you are in good hands. Their reputation speaks volumes. Also a shout out to mitigation. Carlos and Rebecca worked tirelessly prepping for construction. Be reminded to put aside items you may need daily as once contents are boxed it may be awhile till you unpack. They boxed, tore out walls, rolled up wet carpet and always smiled. I'm a very satisfied customer, will always recommend Serve Pro. I love my boys... They'll never know

I thought I did write yesterday. The guys who came to finish up were very helpful. I wrote their names yesterday and threw the notes away. Sorry I can’t rewrite their names. Servpro did a magnificent job.
