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

Arturo with the mitigation team and Jeremy with the reconstruction team did a fantastic job getting my basement back together after a failed sump pump. They both communicated well, used professional equipment and got my basement back to how it was looking before in no time. They worked hard and now I am able to enjoy it again. I would highly recommend Servpro especially Jermey and Arturo!

Jordan Calta

We have used ServPro of Gurnee several times for water damage in our new home and have been so impressed every time, cannot recommend them highly enough in an emergency. John, Arturo, Jhon B and Lino all had high levels of professionalism and were so careful with our house. I was nervous with it being new but they took every precaution and got it back to its original state without damage! They did not oversell us but also gave me confidence there wouldn’t be any lasting impact. The office was also great to work with and so accessible. I feel so fortunate to have found this company!

Lindsay P.

All of the crews did a very good job, Coco and Eli did a wonderful job doing the final cleanup. Would highly recommend

Kevin Suddick

They say everything happens for a reason, and I wonder if the reason we had a kitchen fire was so I could experience the excellent service I got from the ServPro cleaning crew. Starting with Everardo, the crew captain, and all the crew: Julio, Brandon, Coco, Issac, Lino, Arturo, and John B ( I hope I didn't miss anyone). They had the highest work ethic, were polite, and energentic throught the 6 days they worked at our house. It can be unsettling to have strangers in your home, cleaning each and every item that has smoke damage, washing your clothes and packing your belongings to be taken to their facility for cleaning; but because of their professionalism I knew I could trust them. Even my little dogs liked them, and they are particular! I would definately recommend the crew from the Gurnee office to anyone who needs restoration work. They are all invited back for some homemade Horchata once my kitchen restoration is complete!

When life throws you lemons make lemon poundcake 🍋 Thank you to: Young John, Tanner, Isaac Jr, Old Man John, Kyle, and all the other nice men that did my mitigation service. You guys were a true blessing. And to the efficient dispatcher "thank you for getting that call out promptly!" Excellent customer service!!!

Carolyn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding service from Servpro during our water remediation. The crew was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough from start to finish. Huge thanks to Julio, Brandon, Manuel, Tanner, Deanna, and Betza for their hard work, clear communication, and care for our home.

William Sweetnam

I highly recommend ServePro of Gurnee. They did a fantastic job of cleaning my basement floors after having drainage installed. They were professional, kind, and extremely thorough.

Terri Chevalier

Ivette and I are beyond happy with our new kitchen! Jenny, Cody, Jeremy, Eli, Bob were awesome. Jenny's communication was excellent. Cody coming out and checking out everything to summit to State Farm. Glad he was very detail oriented because we were missing some cabinets and I didn't know, which could of cost me down the road. Jeremy has this personality that makes it feel you've known him for some time, excellent communication skills as well, overall great guy! Eli and bob were very friendly and obviously knew what they were doing. Any issue that came up Jeremy was on it. Overall Satisfied with Servpro.

Mario Vargas-Justo

Want to send thanks to Kyle, Julio, John R, Arturo, Brandon and John B for being the calm in the storm of a kitchen mess. Thanks for the exceptional professionalism and kindness!
