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

Wanted to say thank you for the bucket full of giveaways that SERVPRO of Suffolk dropped off to our fire station. The snacks and First Responder gifts including coloring books and crayons for kids were perfect. It was greatly appreciated by the entire team. 

Mr. Broglin

We contracted SERVPRO to clean up our store for the new one to take over. It was very involved, required weekend work, detailed cleaning, and in a timely manner. SERVPRO exceeded all expectations and were great to work with. We will definitely reach out to them again for future projects.

Had a busted pipe that flooded the house while we were in town, called SERVPRO and they were there in 1 hour with all the proper equipment to start the drying process and mitigate the damage. Justin Shomaker was my Field representative and did an awesome job working with insurance adjuster and overseeing contractor support that completed all the work on the house from top to bottom. All I had to do was pick colors and sign the insurance checks... it was one of the smoothest operations I've seen in a long time with respect to a disastrous situation. I would recommend having SERVPRO's number in your phone just in case.. Very impressed with their professionalism!! outstanding job!!! Thanks, Mike
