Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

The cleanup of bio hazard substances should always be completed by professionals due to the health risks involved. SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge has the specialized equipment, training and expertise to safely and professionally handle these jobs. We are capable and have experience in sewage backups, suicide and crime scene cleanups including meth houses, human and animal waste as well as hoarding which many times turns into a bio hazard situation.

Proper cleaning and disposal are paramount and with most of these situations a odor component is also present. Hydroxyls, air scrubbers and vapor sharks are just some of the equipment we employ to eliminate the odor molecules. Having the most current odor eliminating equipment is one advantage to hiring SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge. Improper cleanup of a sewage backup could potentially lead to dangerous mold growth and we have the expertise to assure that does not occur. Having experience in suicide and crime scene cleanups requires a certain amount of tact and empty which comes with our training.

We currently work with many local police departments, state police, county officials and several nursing homes and senior centers in these areas. They know they can trust SERVPRO to complete the job professionally and work with the insurance companies to ensure payment.

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.

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!!

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.
