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.

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.

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.

I called Servpro when my toilet overflowed and totally flooded my basement. I could not have been happier with the service I received from Servpro. They arrived within 30 min and confidently took control of a situation that was very stressful for me. They were confident, knowledgeable and immediately treated my basement as if it were their own. They gave great advice on the mitigation efforts, helped me make some decisions and were able to start right away the following morning. Within less than 24 hours my problem was on its way to being solved. Greg, Everado, Julio, Juan, Damian - these guys are just the best. Nice people and just really good at their job. 10 out of 10!

SERVPRO of Oak Park did a great job! Fast and efficiently solved my basement flooding problem. And I do mean fast! My insurance agent Kathleen Costello recommended them, and followed 2 days late to see how they did, which was great. A sump pump in.my basement failed and I had a lot of water. I called Monday morning at 915, by 1030, Greg was standing in my basement, by 11 we had a plan of action. By 1230, Julio and his team of Juan, Mark, Rob, Derek, and Everarado were working. They move a lot of fragile and difficult stuff, extracted the water, filled the basement with large dehumidifiers and fans. Julio assured me that the equipment would stay until everything was dry. We could still get to areas because the arranged eventing carefully. The Servpro recommended plumber arrived as promised at 4 pm and replaced the sump pump. 3 days later, Julio and his team returned, checked the moisture content and we all agreed it was dry. Then they reversed the process, removed the fans and put everything back in place. Julio walked me through when they were done to make sure I was satisfied. Fabulous job!
