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.

customers are saying

We had some smoke damage in our basement. SERVPRO came and thoroughly cleaned and deodorized our basement. They were absolutely amazing!! They were quick, professional, and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend their services!

I had just moved into my Philadelphia home and found what appeared to be mold in my basement.  SERVPRO of Society Hill came out ran some tests and discovered that indeed it was a mold issue. They sent out a crew the next day and had all the mold removed and cleaned up.  Thank You SERVPRO!

My family had an unfortunate situation that required professional help. This SERVPRO was very responsive, even though it was a weekend. Chuck provided an estimate quickly and they were able to start the job in a timely manner. There were some unforeseen circumstances that were also taken care of quickly.
Because we were from out of town, it was more difficult but Chuck and his staff provided up to date information.
We were beyond pleased with the treatment and professionalism we received.
High marks all around.

As General Manager of Penn Center House, a 432-unit residential high rise in Center City Philadelphia, I have come to use SERVPRO of Society Hill quite often, and with good success. They have assisted with flood damage, water mitigation, fire clean-up, biological/hazard removal, and general labor assistance on one particular occasion. They are available to me 24/7, and have always been prompt in their reaction times (since 90% of my needs of them are urgent). My Sales Rep (Vadim B) is always in touch checking up on our needs, and their paperwork is always in good order to ease insurance claims for me and my residents. They most certainly get 5 stars from me!

Being the Assistant Manager of a High Rise Condominium Association, I have had the opportunity to work with SERVPRO on many occasions. The staff are professional, punctual and cooperative.  The companies services are way above satisfactory. They put a great deal of time and effort into each project they are hired for.  The communication with our facility and our residents is outstanding.  It is very refreshing to work with such a dependable and professional company. I highly recommend SERVPRO.

I've been trying to find reliable contractors in Philly for a couple of years and finally found them. We ended up using SERVPRO for remediation, mold removal, and restoration, all while working through insurance. We originally called SERVPRO when we had water damage and were out of town. They came out immediately and set up fans to remediate the mold. Special shoutout to Lennon - he was fantastic and really thorough. In that process, we spotted mold when everything was exposed and Jeff immediately came out for an inspection and setting up mold remediation. Afterward, their team put together quick estimates and started on their restoration work. Steve was great and worked hand in hand with our insurance to get everything resolved, making sure that we were well represented. When they didn't have expertise, they recommended other local contractors, all of which have been great - reliable, on-time, and really thorough. This is an appreciation post... thank you to the team over there for making fixing up our old house a relatively painless process!
