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.

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

Connor Corrow's crew did s great job. Personable and professional. Thanks to them for making a horrible situation bearable.

Anita Nimtz

I returned from my first two week vacation in 40 years to find that two squirrels had been in my home for at least two days. They had left their droppings, urine and footprints all over the basement and first floor, including inside the washing machine, on upholstered chairs, toilet seats, tables, beds, showers, rugs and all the windows. It was impossible to walk through the house with all the damage. Amanda and Abby showed up and quickly wrapped up 5 rugs, removed them and then started their systematic cleaning room by room. Floors were cleaned, all flat surfaces were cleaned including kitchen counters and sinks, and all the table tops. I didn't see all of their cleaning supplies but when stopping by periodically during the day could see the results of their work. Knowing they were using a disinfectant that would handle any diseases or effects of the squirrel's extended time in the house made me much more comfortable moving back in. I asked about how they could manage this hard work daily and Abby said it gave her satisfaction knowing that she was taking this awful situation and turning it into a very welcome experience for people. It certainly did that for me-their hard work and expertise changed this disaster overnight into a very welcome homecoming. Kathy P.

Our hotel had a sprinkler head break in the middle of the night and we had 12 inches of water on the floor and it soaked up into the walls!!! The team Hickman staff were there that evening or should I say early morning (4am)! On site helping with cleanup and getting the water out of our lobby in office area. They moved fast. Then came the cleanup, ripping out carpet and measuring how high the water came up in the drywall. They moved furniture and did all sorts of work to get all the water out of the area and walls. Most of all they Did it with empathy and understanding… They have seen it all! They were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! I cannot say enough, good things about Giuseppe and Alberto and their entire team! They took really good care of us!
