We have developed protocols for environmental cleaning and disinfection with the goal in mind of providing the businesses and institutions of Skagit County with cost-effective solutions for helping reduce the risk of spreading disease during. Under certain circumstances, when there have been no known or suspected cases of infection with the virus, the application of a disinfectant to the environment by fogging may be all that is recommended.  Where there have been known or suspected cases of an infected person present in the environment, a more thorough approach is recommended, which includes physical removal of soils by wiping, followed by the application of disinfectants. A higher level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary for this level of cleaning.

 Our team is well prepared for such a time as now:

  1. We are trained and certified in Applied Microbial Remediation by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC)
  2. We are well stocked with the necessary personal protective equipment (protective suits, gloves, and respirators, etc.)

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.

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

Excellent service! Highly recommend. Servpro responded to our plumbing overflow within two hours, Josh handled the cleanup professionally, and kept us updated the entire time. The situation required everything to be moved & packed up, Kate, and Michelle handled all of that work ... perfectly organized. We found all to be prompt, courteous, and reliable—very happy with their work.

Senora and Jaime arrived at our home around 1:00am. A pipe had broken in the wall of our two-story home. Before we could get the water turned off, the entire level was sitting in 4 inches of water. They worked non-stop until 5 am, extracting water and placing fans and dehumidifiers. Despite a stressful situation, they were kind and patiently answered questions. They did an excellent job that night and the follow up has been exceptional.

Kristen Linehan

Servpro came to our home to clean a room severely damaged by a fallen tree. The crew always came when they said they would. They were very polite and communicated the steps they were performing well. A nice couple of women came to wrap up all of the items in the room. They did an outstanding job in well protecting the items. We had some insurance payment delays and the project manager (Michele) was very patient in dealing with us and the insurance company. The whole process was smooth and without issues.

Clay Hotchkiss

Servpro has been so easy to work with. Im still in the middle of my flood clean up but couldn't be happier with the company and employees!

Marla Hershaw

We had a cleaning emergency come up over a holiday weekend, and Luke and the team at ServePro were able to get to us on the same day and get our facility back into shape. The crew was very professional, accommodating and really came through for us during a difficult time. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Nathaniel

My insurance company contracted for remediation services from Servpro due to a failed icemaker connection which resulted in damage to kitchen floor and walls. Servpro staff were timely, efficient and did an excellent job of cleaning up the damage. I couldn’t be happier with their work!

Joe Halton

Thank you to Daniel and Caitlin for coming out on a Sunday evening, Mother’s Day, to help when we needed it. They were professional and easy to work with. We can’t thank them enough for their quick response.

Jerry Schmidt

When the ADU on our property flooded due to a burst pipe, we called ServPro immediately. Dominique reassured me they would take care of everything, and they are. Devan and Michael were there that day to start drying it all out. They were kind and sympathetic as we shloshed through the carpet and got the machines working everywhere. Tracy is working closing with our insurance company. Tara keeps me apprised of every step being taken and what to expect. And the demolition team headed by Josh Scarlett did a great job clearing everything so it all dries and can be safely re-built. His construction knowledge was evident when he met with our contractor. We've used ServPro before. While I hope to never need them again, I strongly recommend them to anyone with a crisis like the one we experienced this week.

Bonnie Barnes

They did good work and Dana did a good job dealing with the insurance company. There was an issue with poor quality work with one of the staff but they resolved the issue and returned to make the work right. This did make the job go a little longer though so that's the reason for 4 stars.
