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.

Frankie Allison

Timely response, great workers, thorough professional work, excellent end result & finished project. Well satisfied.

ServPro came to our aid after a massive plumbing leak flooded our house. They were super fast and efficient in the clean-up and mitigation, and handled the packing, move-out and storage of our personal items and furnishings very professionally. The on-site crew and office staff were excellent and very helpful. I would use them again absolutely.

Blair Peterson

I recently contacted Servpro of San Leandro to investigate potential mold issue . Tony with servpro is very professional, thorough and explained the process in detail. I greatly appreciate the service and information provided.

Aron Asmelash

I couldn’t be happier with the service provided from beginning to end. They rescued us on a weekend from a sewage over flow and cleaned, disinfected and purified the air. Dehumidifiers were installed and checked daily. Then the demolition of contaminated walls began and Edwin and his co-worker were extremely professional, sealing of the area where they worked and filtering the air. They were friendly and informed me about the process. Jordan Boothe, the project manager was very accessible and helpful in keeping me informed of the next steps in a long process. Andy, the scheduler checked with me about availability for sending out the crew and was also a pleasure to deal with. A big advantage was Servpro’s familiarity with interfacing with my home owners insurance so I have not had to pay them directly as insurance will take care of this. Nothing negative to say, including the receptionist who was great.

Judith Tabb

My real estate agent recommended Servpro for mold that I discovered in my son’s closet. I love that someone always answers the phone. Angel came out to evaluate and service my project. Everyone is very nice and respectful and put a lot of care into the work that they do. I highly recommend.

Thank you for the leadership Shane and Jordan provided to Ma Properties. Both men were professional and always available to answer questions. The on site workers followed the guidelines required by the State and were always on time. I personally, as the office manager and part owner appreciated their willingness to help.
