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.


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

This company was fantastic! Used them to us move our son from one apartment to another in San Francisco. They also cleaned the old apartment and organized everything in the new apartment. Servpro’s team was amazing packing and moving my son’s belongings. The cleaning at the old apartment was immaculately done. The organization at the new apartment was fantastic, pretty impressive. The best thing that they managed to do it all in a day. Top notch service!!!

I contacted Servpro San Mateo on a Sunday night about a fiberglass mattress issue and was amazed that they picked up and had their Palo Alto crew out the next morning. When the scope was larger than they initially planned for, they were careful to take pictures to share with project manager Martin and come back with a detailed scope of work and pricing. It was definitely a pretty penny but the team was flexible within the scope to make sure the right areas were clean, they did not nickel and dime which I appreciated. Elyi, Piki and Maria did a very thorough job over 2 days and communicated well through Martin. I feel glad to have my home back in good shape.

When our retail bank branch experienced a flood event, ServPro was on the scene within 90 minutes assessing the damage and beginning the water mitigation process. From there, the ServPro team worked closely with us to identify the issues and provide a plan of action and timeline for completion. Their team worked late evenings and weekends to get us back up and running as quickly as possible. Thank you for your professionalism and dedicated follow-through!

Aaron Taylor

Great experience! They handled our water damage cleanup and drying quickly, thoroughly, and professionally. Special shout-out to Chelsea, the manager, and Mario the lead on-site for her excellent communication and care throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Lakshmi Harish

What a great experience with Servpro! We had a broken pipe under the house, and Servpro cleaned up the water which had accumulated and was stinky. They were professional, helpful and friendly. We have a narrow crawl space, but they figured out how to get the job done. They helped us coordinate with the plumber too. Anna Guerrero was the project manager at Servpro and was outstanding in every way including communicating and working her butt off to help us. She even drew a map of the crawl space so that the plumber would know exactly where to go to fix the pipe. Highest recommendation!!

Eva Canellos

Martin and his team, Piki and Mayra, did a fantastic job way above what I thought would be even possible! From the very beginning with Chelsea, Soliette and the HVac and soft goods expert we were very impressed with their knowledge and attention to detail. The communication was fantastic as well. Every question was answered promptly by the team. I’m really thrilled with the results and highly recommend Servpro of Palo Alto. Their company has been down here since the fires and still are working on new requests. Five stars out of five for sure! Cindy Johnsen

This was an excellent and efficient team. They were careful in/with my home and responsive to requests. Highly recommend Martin and his team!!

Cornelia Seiffert

I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea. She has helped me with mitigating smoke damage in my home after the Eaton Fire. She had answers my adjuster did not, she could give me a good timeline & educate me on the process, she quickly responded to my many questions & concerns & she was extremely accessible & responsive. She gave me hope & then confidence that the work on my home would be done well, right, & as quickly as possible. Plus, i enjoyed her as a person, which actually made this process much easier. Her team was also great & the other purple I worked with through her were equally competent & confidence-inducing. My house has never been cleaner & they organized it better than I did! I am very impressed!

Our home survived the Pacific Palisades fire but suffered from smoke damage, ashes and debris. ServPro PaloAlto cleaned our home for four days and left it immaculate. Our home has never been so clean, the smoke smell was gone and their service went beyond our expectations. The staff was professional and friendly. In particular, Soliette and Chelsea were extremely responsive to our requests and questions. We could not be more satisfied with the service we received from ServPro PaloAlto and are thankful for their preparing our home for our return.
