Services We Provide
Crime Scene and Trauma
Crime scene and trauma cleanup requires a compassionate, professional, and timely response. We approach these situations with both technical expertise and respect for the people involved. Serious health hazards are posed by hazardous substances like:
- Blood
- Bodily fluids
- Decomposing tissue
Our professionals are trained to deal with these unique and sensitive issues using specialized, state-of-the-art equipment. We focus on ensuring that your home or business can return to a clean and safe environment as quickly as possible.
Death and Suicide
Discovering the remains of someone who’s passed away is a shocking and tragic experience. SERVPRO understands and is here to help, bringing compassion and the necessary tools and resources to discreetly clean, disinfect, and deodorize the affected area.
Suicide presents many hardships. Your peace of mind is important to us, and our discreet and speedy cleanup and sanitization process will ease your stress. We’re dedicated to providing speedy, discreet, and considerate cleanup so you can concentrate on your family or business affairs.
Hoarding Cleanup
Dealing with extreme clutter seems like an impossible task. Where do I start? How do I remove everything? How do I ensure that it’s sanitary? SERVPRO can provide the answers, expertise, and resources to bring your property back to a sanitary and habitable space.
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.”
Viruses & Pathogens
Through our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program, we offer a specialized viral pathogen deep cleaning service that ensures that you and your space are both healthy and clean. SERVPRO can assist with C diff, HIV-1, Norovirus, MRSA, and many other viruses and bacteria.
Illicit Substances
The production and use of illegal drugs can result in exposure to volatile and harmful chemicals. Our professionals follow federal and state guidelines when cleaning and decontaminating the affected areas of your home or business.
Chemicals and Residues
Our technicians specialize in the safe, thorough removal of chemical residues left behind after emergencies, law enforcement activity, or industrial accidents. We can handle a wide range of hazardous materials and contamination scenarios, such as:
- Fingerprint powder
- Tear gas
- Pepper spray
- Fire extinguishers
SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.
Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:
- Blood
- Drug Residue
- Bodily Fluids
must be removed and the affected area decontaminated to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.
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.
Call Emergency Personnel
Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.
Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself
Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.
Stay Out Of The Area
Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.

Dawn Sahms and her team at SERVPRO, in Southwest Portland, are outstanding. If you have a broken pipe or some leakage in your house, or any kind of fire damage or biohazard, Dawn Sahms is the one to call.
I have her number in my phone, on speed dial, should an issue occur. They'll be there within no time and can save you literally thousands in otherwise irreparable damage. Dawn really cares about the people she works with. She has a great personal touch and is available 24-7 to take your call.
You can't go wrong with SERVPRO, they know what they're doing and they've been in the business a long time.
Highly recommended.
SERVPRO of Southwest Portland, we are very grateful for your help and for being so professional yet so personal. Thank you.
I wanted to give you some feedback on Melinda Yorba and how she helped me.
I have a form of chemotherapy that makes me sick to my stomach a lot. When the water leaked into the apartment in my basement it became a serious problem. My handyman was really busy. He told me to call SERVPRO. I looked up and found the Southwest location of SERVPRO and called your office. Melinda Yorba came to my house to assess the damage. Literally from the moment she arrived and spoke to me, I knew it was going to be okay. She really knows what she is talking about.
Having been a working woman for 25 years, working with lots of different kinds of Oregon business people, I have a sense of who I can trust to do a good job. Immediately I knew I could trust Melinda. She took care of the job and was very helpful explaining things to me.
Thank You.
Thanks to Daniel and his crew for an awesome job in cleaning up a big mess from a sewage leak under my house. They kept me informed on the progress of the work, were courtesy and prompt Daniel even stopped by at 8 pm one evening to check on the equipment being used to dry out the space. Even got a brand new vapor barrier to boot. I am very happy that I chose this company to do the work. So pleased with the results!
SERVPRO of Southwest Portland. Your team has made my mold problem disappear! I couldn't be happier with the results!
Thank You,
Michael
Daniel came to finish up some work and a very good job. Daniel is very kind and helpful, he went beyond the call of duty.
Tom was awesome. Quick to respond. On top of every step. Really appreciate his professionalism.
Long story short I have a short-term property and discovered there was a leak to my basement which lead to the 3rd floor bathroom. I quickly hit up a plumber and they said we would have to rip out the wall to see where the leak is. I then gave my insurance Farmers a call and talked to my agent Linda Elliot which she recommended me to SERVPRO of Southwest and called them for me as well. Within minutes SERVPRO called me back and sent out a worker within 30minutes. Wow. Melinda Yorba was my SERVPRO contractor and she was absolutely amazing. She used a device that detected water and we both soon discovered that it was a cracked joint on the base floor. Within about 15 minutes she helped solved my problem and now I can save hundreds even thousands instead of ripping my wall apart to find the leak. I am a happy customer! Thank you Linda and SERVPRO - Melinda
I had water damage in my kitchen from the upstairs neighbor. Though I didn't contact SERVPRO of Southwest Portland directly, the general contractor I hired did. And I am really glad for it. Daniel and the team were knowledgeable and very professional. They answered all my questions and even provided additional information that I didn't think of. If the need ever arises, I will definitely be using them again.
