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

We had substantial water damage from an undetected AC problem. We called Servpro and they were incredible. Very fast cleanup and their customer service was flawless. I was so impressed at how easy they are to talk to and get immediate answers to questions. They helped with our insurance claim making that process easy as well. Servpro coordinated the repair and saw everything through until the end. Wonderful to work with. Thank you.

Well, I want everyone to know I worked with this company Servpro for the past three months from the beginning of tearing down my kitchen and rebuilding everything just like my contractor Greg said from Servpro. They did the most amazing job from helping me pick out all the materials to ordering the employees at Servpro what a wonderful group of men from the very beginning so kind and helpful and they did everything. They said they were set out to do and more Mr. Greg at Servpro. The contractor was absolutely a wonder. Individual to work with so I want the world to know that if you’re ever in need of any types of repair, you can definitely use Servpro. I would use them again in the future for all my home needs again I want to thank them for the amazing work, they done at our home.

Awesome service! From first contact to completion. Our project was a total home reconstruction from a fire and we couldn’t be more pleased with everything Servpro handled for us. Our heroes in this adventure were Bobbie, Brian, Johnny, Catherine, Ronny, and the shining star Greg. Hope I didn’t leave anyone out! You can’t go wrong with Servpro!

Keith & Michael did a great job cleaning my dryer vent. They were on time, polite, friendly and very efficient. Obviously they knew what they were doing and they cleaned up after themselves. I Highly Recommend them.

Don Brimmer

Had Serv Pro of Columbia and Suwannee Counties clean out my dryer vent today. Since the builder put the vent coming out the roof, it was not easy for me to clean periodically. Keith G and Michael came out and did a great job. Kind and professional through the entire job. Thank you both! I will call on your company next time the need arises. Janet H
