Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

Biohazard situations demand specialized training, the right protective equipment, and real discretion, and SERVPRO of Lake Houston is prepared on every count. These are difficult moments for the people involved, and our crews approach each one with professionalism, sensitivity, and respect. We serve homes and businesses across Atascocita, Harmaston, and the Lake Houston area, responding around the clock when a situation cannot wait. Our biohazard services include crime scene and trauma scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, hoarding cleanup, bloodborne pathogen remediation, and the safe cleaning of bodily fluids and other potentially infectious materials. This work is governed by strict safety regulations and should never be attempted by anyone without proper training and protection, because improper cleanup can leave behind hidden contamination and serious health risks. Our technicians follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen protocols, and carry American Bio Recovery Association certification. We contain the affected area, remove and dispose of contaminated materials according to regulation, and clean and decontaminate every surface with professional grade disinfecting agents before verifying the space has been returned to a safe condition. Throughout the process, we treat the property and the people involved with care, and we document the work thoroughly for insurance and other needs, so that no one has to face a burden like this on their own.

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.

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

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.

In life you often hear of tragic events that happen to someone else but never expect those types of events to happen to you. On September 22nd, 2025 it happened to my family. My wife and I were in the emergency room with my 92 year old mother from very early on that day keeping us away from our home until late that evening. I stayed with my mom in the emergency room and my wife went home to get some much needed rest. The plan was to relieve me the next day. When she walked in our home that night she stepped in water. As you can imagine she was in a panic. I could not leave my mother alone so I called my neighbors who graciously came to help my wife. My next call was to SERVPRO. Jerry and his crew mobilized and showed up within two hours. He quickly accessed the situation and immediately began to mitigate certain areas to prevent more loss. He updated me every step of the way on the progress during the night which gave me and my family much needed peace of mind. The feeling of helplessness I endured in the beginning by not being able to be on site was quickly alleviated by Jerry’s calm, reassuring demeanor.

I hope no one reading this ever has to go through what we went through but they happen more often than we realize. Two things I learned throughout this process -

1) We are so blessed to have special neighbors who will help drop what they are doing and come help you in a pinch day or night and -

2) Call a company like SERVPRO who has management that are extremely wise enough to hire professional people like Jerry and his crew.

About Us

When water, fire, smoke, or mold damages your home or business anywhere in the Lake Houston area, SERVPRO of Lake Houston responds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. We serve the communities ringing Lake Houston, from Atascocita and the master-planned neighborhoods of Walden on Lake Houston, Eagle Springs, and Summerwood to the historic timber settlement of Harmaston on the lake's northwestern edge. Our certified local crews know this market, a place defined by the water itself, where custom waterfront homes, lakeside subdivisions, marinas, and the offices and retail centers along FM 1960 and West Lake Houston Parkway all sit within reach of the San Jacinto River and the reservoir it feeds. They also know how fast Southeast Texas weather, from the floodwaters that follow a tropical system and force releases at the Lake Houston dam to the hard winter freezes that burst pipes, can damage a property.

We provide water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage and biohazard cleanup, storm and flood recovery, specialty and general cleaning, air duct and HVAC cleaning, contents packout, commercial restoration, and full reconstruction. Every project begins with a clear, documented scope of work for your insurance carrier and is explained to you at each step.

What sets SERVPRO of Lake Houston apart is the combination of local knowledge and professional capability. Our crew chiefs and production managers are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, and Applied Microbial Remediation. We follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen, fall protection, and respirator protocols, and we carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, hold national account status with most, and communicate clearly with your adjuster so your claim keeps moving and closes quickly.

As part of the SERVPRO Team Shaw family and the acclaimed SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, with offices in all fifty states, we can scale our response to a single burst supply line or a regional event like Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when San Jacinto River flooding and Lake Houston dam releases inundated thousands of homes around the lake, or the February 2021 winter freeze that ruptured pipes across the region. From an Atascocita lakefront home to a business along FM 1960, we bring the same certified crews and the same standards to every job. Whatever the size of the loss, our goal is the same. We work quickly and thoroughly to make your home or business “Like it never even happened.®
