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.”

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

The SERVPRO team of Jeremy and Cameron was courteous, professional and efficient. I am satisfied with the service received.

SERVPRO did a great job taking care of a condo in FL that had two feet of storm surge from hurricane Helene. I was not there so they sent me before and after photos and keep me apprised of progress along the way. The estimate was accurate and they were very nice to work with. I hope I never need them again but would definitely recommend them.

Stellar experience! BJ and Tyler were knowledgeable and friendly- they answered all of my questions and were helpful every step of the way. They put my mind at ease as soon as they came in. I knew the damage to my home would be handled correctly. I can’t say enough about my good experience. Thanks again, guys!

I had water damage come through my home the sales man and stabilization team was here within a day. And restoration began within the same week. Very fast, helpful and resourceful. I have medical issues and Shawn T. noticed immediately and came to check up on me. Zoe and the rest of the crew came for the mitigation work. Zoe stood out and had many conversations with me and my husband. We needed removal of gym equipment. She came on her day off to get it removed from our basement and out of my way! I’m forever grateful for all the company has done while we worked with them!

Bernadette Kotel

The service technician was very professional. We had requested that he evaluate for possible mold and recommend what service might be needed. He explained that no service for mold removal was needed as no mold was present. He suggested measures we could take to correct appearance.


Thanks for the honest service!!

SERVPRO is your team when the unexpected event rains on your parade. When it strikes, it is less stressful when you have a plan and that plan is calling SERVPRO.

I can not say enough good things about this company. A couple times each year my company uses their services. In all of my experiences I am able to make 1 phone call and SERVPRO handles everything from that point on till I need to pay them.

The service I always receive is 2nd to none and as effortless as possible for me. These guys take care of my customers when called upon and make my company look good at the same time.

Lynzie introduced me to SERVPRO in 2022, she stopped in and left some information about SERVPRO and the services they provide.


Shortly thereafter Lynzie followed up with a phone call and set an appointment to come in and meet to further discuss the services that can be provided if needed.


Lynzie set us up with an app on our phones that we have entered all the important contacts and other important information we would need in the event there was an emergency at the school.


Lynzie was very knowledgeable of the services that are offered by SERVPRO and was also very professional and personable at all times whether we met in person or spoke on the phone.


I would highly recommend SERVPRO to other businesses.

We called SERVPRO after hurricane Helene flooded our half of a duplex on Anna Maria Island. They came out and gave us a price and were great to deal with. Before they were even started, we were hit with another hurricane so we were a little delayed, but certainly not their fault. We had one hiccup but they had great communication and quickly remedied the problem. Thank you SERVPRO team!!
