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.

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.

customers are saying

This past Sunday my basement flooded with approximately 8+ inches of water. I called Servpro immediately and they handled everything. They came out the next morning with equipment to do the job right. They are professional, knowledgeable and caring. Great crew to work with and great price. I would recommend them to anyone who needs this service.

Pj Garapich

Theses guys are truly professionals. Communication was 5 star plus. Quality and workmanship, Outstanding! They handled everything from A-Z. Plumbing, Electric, Drywall, Painting, Hard wood floors & carpet. They even did all the paper work for the insurance company. Wrote up the claim, purchased the materials ect, all i had to do was sign the check. Jorden, Nick and three subcontractors all worked as a team with one goal in mind. Customer Satisfaction. AAA plus!

Michael Quinn

I had some extensive water flooding in my home. From the time that I placed the phone call to Servpro, I had a Servpro member at my house within 30 minutes to assess the water damage to my home. He advised me, that I needed to act quickly so the water would not present me with further damage. I gave them the go ahead to start the process. Within 30 minutes after that there was a crew that arrived and started the process to remove the standing water. The process is now complete and this company is phenomenal. They took the extra steps to also make sure that nothing further was damaged. Thank you Servpro of Eastern Lake County for a start to finish job. I would recommend this company for anyone, and would definitely use them again.

Terry and his team came in and did a phenomenal job when we had water damage in our kitchen because of a dishwasher leak. He was thorough in being sure everything was understood, and put us at ease that everything was going to be taken care of properly. You can tell that he works with excellence and expects the same from those working on his crew. It helps to have knowledgable and kind people working in your home - especially in stressful situations such as this. Really appreciated how ServPro worked with our insurance company to be sure all was taken care of as well. Would recommend!!
