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.

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.

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

We had a septic tank disaster in June . Michael quickly came to our rescue with his cleaning/spraying team. Then came Angelina and Dory to pack our entire downstairs ( !! ) and move everything into a Mobile Attic in our driveway. They were friendly and cheerful, patient with our stress, and very efficient as they packed and moved our things. They helped to ease the pain of a stressful situation. Thank you ServePro!

Carole Ritter

When the city sewer backed up into our basement, ServPro responded immediately. Mike and Joe, Hayley and Elise, and their team did fantastic work. Elise and Hayley especially went out of their way to salvage what was important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them if this type of service is needed.

Mary Ann McKay

Joe and Mike have been fantastic in helping with removal of water damaged ceiling and floors, and getting our home dried out. They are friendly and personable, I would recommend them highly.

ServPro did an excellent job getting my flooded basement cleaned up. They were very responsive and arrived quickly. They monitored the air quality and the flooring and walls on a daily basis. The team that came out (Stryder and Austin) were awesome! Thanks so much for a wonderful job. Sara Crane

Frank Crane

We had a significant flood at our church. SERVPRO was great to work with. We talked to a couple companies before beginning the work. The other company didn’t understand how to deal with insurance. SERVPRO knew how to draw everything up with the details the adjustor needed to do his job. The project took a while and anytime I needed something, they were only a text away. Our project was completed over a year ago. I noticed something was still not quite right with something. I sent them a text to see if they could check it out. They not only came the next day, they were able to fix it on the spot. I am very satisfied with the end result and their willingness to stand behind their work. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a company to do water remediation and other repairs. Extra shout out to Richard for being so great to work with!

Joe Steele
