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

This company is awesome! My son hired the to help him with the move within San Francisco. He hired them to also cleaned the old place and organized everything in the new place. Servpro’s amazing team packed and moved my son’s contents and furniture. The cleaning at the old place was great, he got back the full security deposit. The organization at the new place was great and completed pretty fast. My son was stressing about the move and this company made it so easy for him. I would recommend their service to anyone.

(Translated by Google) I was impressed by their initiative, compassion, and composure. They truly live up to the reputation of a developed country. My country should learn from them, but currently we rely on volunteers. I realized that this is one of the reasons for our slow initial response. (Original) 彼らの行動力と思いやりと余裕に感心しました。流石は先進国です。我が国も見習いたいものですが、現状は有志によるボランティア頼みです。初動の遅れはこんなところにも原因があるのだと感じました。

Came home to water damage in my house after a 15 hour connecting flight with jet lagged kids. Servpro was on site asap thoroughly documenting and drying everything. Special shout out to Project manager Martin, for his efforts, quick response times and assistance during this stressful time. Service from the techs Servando, Jaime and Jerry were great. Fingers crossed I'll never have to deal with a situation like this again, but I would call them again in a heartbeat.

Reached out to Servpro for a fiberglass issue on a Sunday night, they actually picked up the phone and had a crew out to us next morning! They ended up taking some time to scope out the issue which was bigger than expected and accordingly pricey but within industry standards, but got the job finished by end of the week! Grateful for the prompt service.

Elspeth Ong

Servepro came to the rescue to help clean up and dryout my home due to water damage. They were able to arrive the same day I called them and were very professional. Their timelines of service, attention to detail and communication regarding the work was excellent! Chelsea , their manager, was easy to get a hold of, listened to my needs, and kept me informed daily. She was quick to respond to my phone calls as well. We really appreciate all of Servepros team efforts!

I called SERVPRO and spoke with Soliette Aviles who was professional and thorough explaining the process of services they provide. She scheduled my appointment and assured me that SERVPRO is a full service provider and once the mitigation was completed that my file would move to the construction department. The work went smooth, the technicians were very knowledgeable and hard working. SERVPRO provided a stress free transition which was a huge relief as we didn’t need any additional stress. Hands down I would use SERVPRO again and highly recommend their services to others. Upon completion the owner Farouk Lalji reached out to see if everything was up to our standards. I gave him a compliment as his staff was wonderful and the services far exceeded our expectations. Thank you SERVPRO.

Monica

Her team is very skilled and understanding. Her ability to communicate is amazing and her organization skills are phenomenal. Please don’t hesitate to contact her with any needs .
