Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

In the event that your property needs trauma or crime scene cleanup, SERVPRO of Oconee/South Anderson Counties can help you. This type of situation requires competence, experience and respect for all involved. Our skilled professionals will always treat your property and the people involved with the greatest empathy and respect in the face of trying circumstances.

Once the police have completed their investigation of a crime scene, cleanup and restoration can begin. This involves an assessment of your property to determine the proper equipment and cleaning products needed. Because traumatic events often involve biological and chemical contaminants, it’s very important to know that the restoration process is being handled in compliance with all government, environmental and health regulations. Our professionals do this in the safest way possible for you, your property and everyone living or working on your property.

We are trained and prepared both physically and mentally to handle biohazard, trauma, and crime scene cleanup and restoration with respect and professionalism.

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

My husband decided to run the dishwasher during the night and used the wrong detergent and water ended up flooding our whole entire kitchen and living room affected our furniture and my 2 year old's toy chest. I called really late freaking out and they said they could actually come out within 2 hours. I was impressed because I figured that I would have to wait until the next day and I didn't know what to do with standing water in my house! I've never experienced this before and they were very helpful with fixing everything and explaining what they were doing and what needed to be done. I am SO thankful for them. Hopefully this wont happen to me again, but if it does I will not hesitate to call them. Thank you so much SERVPRO! Joe and I appreciate you!

SERVPRO was so great to work with. They were so timely and responsive. Each and everyone of the workers were very respectful of our home and personal space and were friendly. Not only was the customer service good, but the quality of the work they did was good as well. Hopefully we wont have to use them in the future because that would mean we have issues, but if we do, we will definitely use them again!

I can not express how much we appreciate the SERVPRO Team! Not only are they a respected business of Oconee, they also dedicate time to help their surrounding communities. For two years in a row, they have showed up to the Utica Cleanup with supplies and many helping hands. Each one of them worked hard and made such a difference! I love how positive they all are about the work they do. If you EVER need any assistance that they can help you with, call them. The SERVPRO name may be all over the country, but it is locally owned and operated and I LOVE supporting local businesses!

They were so nice and professional, they got to my house faster then expected. They finished the job to get my home back to normal as soon as they possibly could. Hope I never have to use them again but it was a great experience and would use them again if necessary.

SERVPRO came to my house when we had our water heater bust. We had about 7 inches of water in our basement. Within about 40 minutes of us calling they were here. They were very quick with the mitigation and the had all the water out and set equipment within the 3 hours they were here. The crew was very nice and efficient.

SERVPRO is the best cleaning service I have found. We used them to clean up a massive water leak in our home, and loved them so much we now use them to regularly clean our house. They show up on time and clean thoroughly and professionally using superior cleaning products. They are great with my dog, and I trust them completely in my home.
