No one likes sharing their space with unsanitary intruders. They eat your wires and ductwork, urinate and defecate in your attics and walls, and cause real anxiety. We will thoroughly disinfect and clean your home or business to “make it like it never even happened.”

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

Ricky Roberts was a HUGE help with our mold issue. Identified the problem, talked us through it and gave us a few different options to fix. Highly recommend ServPro and Ricky. Will be using them again

Will Odom

I cannot say enough good things about Wesley and the team at SERVPRO! We had an issue where food was accidentally burned in our oven, and the smoke smell ended up traveling through our HVAC system and into seemingly every corner of our house, including our closets and our kids’ bedrooms. After nearly a week of cleaning, washing, airing everything out, and trying everything we could think of, the smell was still lingering. I reached out to Wesley, and he was at our house that SAME DAY with air scrubbers and a plan. He walked us through what was happening, gave us great advice on what we could do ourselves, and genuinely went above and beyond to help us get our home back to normal. Within 48 hours, the difference was incredible. After everything we had tried all week, it was such a relief to finally walk into our house and notice a significant improvement. I am incredibly grateful for Wesley’s quick response, knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. When something happens in your home, having someone respond quickly and actually know how to help makes all the difference. If you ever need restoration or cleanup services, I would hands-down recommend Wesley and SERVPRO. They will absolutely be my first call from now on!

Wes conducted a thorough inspection of our mold issue and provided an honest and clear solution.

Lindsay Fletcher Smith

I’ve gotten to work with Wes and the SERVPro team several times now on commercial projects. The professionalism and the efficiency they display when working to get a client back into their building is truly impressive!

Devin Skipper

Ricky was prompt, knowledgeable, and thorough on his investigation of my concern. Would recommend, and will use for any future issues!

Kate

I’ve had some recurring mold and had concerns about it, so I reached out to ServPro. They sent Wes out the same day and he did a thorough inspection of the site as well as in the attic above the vent. His detailed explanation gave me guidance on how to remedy and prevent the issue going forward. He was beyond helpful!

Elizabeth Forte

SERVPRO of New Hanover was with us from start to finish. Their knowledge and professionalism were exceptional and we are extremely happy with the results on our restored home. Highly recommend this business. Eric Heid and Kelly Lake are outstanding professionals with a ton of expertise. They will take care of you and your home.

Kris Bradsher

My experience was excellent with ServPro from Wilmington North Carolina in New Hanover County. Mr. Dominic Donato showed up immediately and estimated damages with pics and video, the whole process was amazing and I loved the professional approach and the support! The pipe busted and caused water in 3 living spaces and crawlspace and walls! Scary experience but all questions were answered! I was able to contact Amy at ServPro and she acted by contacting my insurance company to continue the process! The insurance was able to get all the information from Mr. Donato and Amy that was needed to proceed with my claim without delay! This ServPro Company is on the ball! I recommend ServPro.

Josh and his crew did a great job.
