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

Servpro did a great job with our mitigation and repair. Caleb, Nelson and the whole crew were professional and responsive.

Darkarai Bryant

Mr. Nelson provide outstanding service to NCCU Shepard Library during the library issues with a burst pipe situation. Him and his staff provide excellent customer service and was willing to work with us every step of the way. He and staff were very professional, very reliable, respectful and provided reassures during a somewhat stressful time. The cleanup was performed flawlessly. Thank you.

Vickie Spencer

Caleb Briley was very professional and communicative during an uncomfortable and difficult process. He went above and beyond too help me and my family. Would recommended working with him for any home repairs!

Sydney DiPaulo

Several Large trees fell on our house in June 2025. My first call was to my insurance company and the second call was to Servpro of South Durham. Servpro responded immediately to all our needs to repair/rebuild our property. My reconstruction project manager was Mike St. John and he responded in the most professional manner possible. Mike scheduled carpenters, roofers (metal roof and shingles), siding and gutter technicians, he scheduled masons and painters. This was a huge repair job me, but Mike St John and his Servpro of South Durham did a phenomenal job of returning our damaged house back into a wonderfully comfortable Home, and it was completed on schedule and in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend them for any reconstruction project that you might have. Thank you Mike and team! Anthony

Scott Siegel

I worked with Mike on reconstruction after a leak upstairs of my home. He was knowledgeable and put us at ease. Work was done in the time frame that he estimated. Reliable service

Rasheeda Hall

We had a 2nd floor toilet overflow. The water damage ruin not only the bathroom and surrounding area, but also the 1st floor ceiling. When they say water travels, they are not kidding. Drywall was damaged and flooring was damage. Despite the unavoidable chaos of repairs, ServPro made the process easier. Everyone on the team was kind, considerate, professional, and efficient. I do not want to be in this situation again, but if I am, I would like Mike St. John and his team
