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.
What our
customers are saying
Guys were great-cooperative, helpful and certainly knowledgeable about what had to be done! A++++
SERVPRO recently completed cleaning/restoration at my mother-in-law’s home in Peckville, PA after a (luckily) minor cooking fire. The work was timely and complete. Please thank your cleaner/painter staff, two young women who worked very hard and did great work.
Hi Nick, Just wanted to let you know how wonderful SERVPRO was to my Client. His claim happened 5/3/2016. It was a water/sewer backup to his finished Basement. He said SERVPRO was there immediately and worked so hard to get his Basement spotless. Donegal Ins Group’s Adjuster also commended SERVPRO’s work. Thank you again for a job well done!!! Sincerely, Michele Avvisato
SERVPRO Rocks!!! I have a rental in Scranton and the pipes in my laundry room froze and burst causing a good amount of damage. I called Nick and he came out the same day, quoted me and started the job immediately. Which I believe saved me from further water damage. He gave me a time frame, in which I could expect the job to be started and completed. I was absolutely impressed! He communicated with me through the process and never left me wondering. Work was done to perfection!
SERVPRO was amazing to work with. They were so quick and helpful during a devastating time. I know that they were extremely busy due to the recent cold weather, but still managed to be very attentive to my specific damage. I would highly recommend using SERVPRO if you ever, unfortunately, encounter a need for them. A big thanks to Nick and his crew for all their kindness and help!!
5 star rating for tech Dan and the great job he did!
You just finished clean up after our sewer line overflowed into our 1/2 bathroom and family room. I wanted to compliment the folks you sent to help do the demo, clean up, and dry out of the space. They were a friendly hardworking group who were also understanding and accommodating of my allergy issues that could have been triggered by some of the clean up process. Chris headed up the job and was especially patient with my questions and explaining the process. I was having difficulty finding a local contractor who does concrete polishing and Chris also shared a contact for a contractor I wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. Thanks for being there and doing what you do to make an unfortunate situation better.
Blessed. In a word , this is the feeling of myself and my co-workers over the services provided by SERVPRO and their team! Without the quick response, no limits mindset, and professionalism, we would have never been able to serve our customers without disruption like we did. In a matter of a few hours SERVPRO had its team of professionals here and spent tremendous care with the delicate nature of the job we do! No stone was left unturned in making sure every one of our needs were met! kudos TO the entire team, START TO FINISH!
"No limits mindset is not words we throw around in my company. It is part of the core values that we model our care for the community we serve. SERVPRO shares that same notion when called to its next job. These gentlemen and ladies were the utmost professional and sensitive to our needs. Their professionals made what seemed to be an insurmountable situation easy, concise and everyday. While we worried after seeing our damage and doubting that we would be able to open our next business day, they jumped head first into their plan and literally cleaned up in hours what we thought would take weeks. No job or request went unanswered. There was never an excuse and answers to every question was offered with a smile and a reassuring handshake. This is the job no one wants to have to do and they attacked it like it was second nature to them all. THANK YOU for Great Service.
