Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

What Types of Situations Require a Biohazard Cleaning Service?

One of the most horrific events that potentially can be encountered in a lifetime is the discovery of the body of a loved one who experienced a traumatic or unintended death. When such a scenario occurs, a person is left not only with the deep emotions associated with the loss of a loved one but also with the virtually unimaginable aftermath of coming upon the remains of a deceased person in this manner.

The grieving process is profoundly impacted by the additional responsibility of restoring the scene where the loved one was discovered to a habitable condition. The stark reality is that addressing the need to clean up, sanitize, and restore an unintended death scene to a habitable condition is a daunting task, even for a specialist trained in this type of work. With this in mind, you need to have a solid appreciation of what situations require the intervention of an experienced, professional biohazard cleaning service. Let SERVPRO of Greenwood, Abbeville & McCormick Counties help you in your time of need.

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

These guys were great. They worked with my insurance and were fast and thorough.

Kevin Skinner

ServePro have been an absolute blessing for us. They operate in excellence in every aspect and have gone above and beyond our expectations.

Sharon Jones

Shane, John and Danielle have been amazing packing up contents and removing all water damages ( flooring, tiles, kitchen island, cabinets). Proficient, professional, hard workers. Experienced. Trustworthy. Can’t say enough good things about this team!

Carol Bishop

We had an emergency situation at the office I work at. SERVPRO was contacted and at our office within the hour. Wyatt & Logan worked quickly to mitigate the situation with minimum disruption. Highly recommend.

A home water leak damaged floors in three rooms. Servpro responded quickly and professionally by packing and removing items from those rooms, removed the damaged flooring and ceiling in our basement, then drying subflooring. They determined extent of needed replacement floor and installed it. They were considerate of our needs and adapted their plans to ensure we at least had minimal home utility services by staggering their work. They were prepared to do a full restoration, but we elected to perform a kitchen remodel since that room was already gutted. The Project Manager was easily reachable and promptly responded to our requests. We did not have an emergency, but it was critical to quickly respond to prevent mold growth and to ensure our home was returned to normal to support my wife's upcoming recovery from surgery. They did that. Be aware that such service is not inexpensive and we did not expect it to be. (If you are a home owner please be aware having 20 loud drying fans running in your home for a couple days is a necessary annoyance for this type of problem. Servpro should be praised for having the equipment standing by for us rather than being upset by their use.)

Kevan Nason

Excellent company to work with. They exceed my expectations every time we use them.

James Reepe

The SERVPRO Greenwood branch was fantastic is helping us with our huge window leaking issue. They helped us every step of the way with insurance and the window company who in the end had to replace all windows of our house. We could not have navigated our issue without them. Their staff was all so helpful and great to work with. Hope we don't need them again but if we do, they are my first call.

Sue Forsberg

I had water damage due to a pipe leak causing enough damage that I had to replace most of the kitchen. ServPro responded immediately to mitigate the water damage. They also helped coordinate and provided contractors for the replacement of the floor and cabinet maker. They completed some of the repairs and contracted out other work. I used the opportunity to upgrade my kitchen and he provided contacts for that also. It’s is difficult to find people to do work where I live and could not have gotten this done well without them. I worked exclusively with Gareth and he was amazing. He kept us informed and his calm demeanor was really appreciated. Highly recommend working with him!

Patricia Minnick

I had Servpro come out to look at water damage and they were exceptional. They were extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to all of my questions. I would highly recommend Servpro of Greenwood to everyone!
