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.


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

My basement was flooded and the first team, headed by Riccardo came in and got all the water up and stacked the contents I had in the basement so I could go through it. The second team headed up by a Juan and Andre did a very good job in picking up the carpet, taking the entire tile floor up and taking down the paneling in the basement. They cleaned up, disinfected and put down mold prevention spray. They were very nice and very organized in their approach to getting the job done. I would recommend this team if you ever have a flood situation to cleanup.

Ricardo and his team were great. Mindful of when I needed to depart from home as well as doing a great job and keeping my home clean as they did their work. Thank you!

Unbelievably efficient, neat, and kind crew.

Victoria Zunitch

The Servpro crews arrived on emergency needs to 1. Suction up filthy and smelly sewage water, disinfect, dehumidify to curtail further damage on day 1 visit 2. Clean and open up affected walls and ceilings to ventilate and prevent mold growth on day 2. Set up fans and industrial dehumidifiers to eliminate air pollutions for the residents. 3. Demolish damaged structures to prepare for the following restoration. 4. Professionally Coordinate and communicate with the insurance adjusters, perform necessary environmental tests, assist to arrange pack out services to clear the spaces to expedite recovery. 5. The team lifted the burdens from the affected residents and the Building Management, made the recovery process more endurable and affordable. Many Thanks to their professional services.

Great experience with Cesar and his guys. We had a pipe burst after freezing and they came and helped clean up the same day we called and it happened. Communication was great and everything was smooth.

About Us

We know that nothing can be as devastating as a disaster in your home or office. That is why we have uniformed professionals ready 24/7 to help. Each of our technicians undergo a rigorous training regimen through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to become confident and educated in their respective fields. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster – and that begins with our preparedness for water, fire, mold, storm, flood, and other emergencies. 

We want you to feel comfortable with our technicians in your home after a disaster, and we can offer assurances to you with our background checks completed on every employee. Even the owner of our franchise has submitted for this to deliver transparency, honesty, and integrity to our clients when they feel at their most vulnerable. 

As a reputable restoration company serving Queens and its surrounding areas, our ability to be a one-stop-shop for our customers during dire times is invaluable. Subcontracting is time-consuming and costly and can leave you waiting for weeks longer than necessary for your project to complete. We have a team of experienced and licensed general contractors that can accomplish both emergency services as well as full-scale build back and reconstruction as needed. 

We understand that our reputation is worth more than the houses and building that. We have helped to restore in our time as a recovery team. Our work with organizations like the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, and the Mill Basin / Bergen Beach Lion’s Club has allowed us to be a helping hand to our communities in other ways. 

Our award-winning service and high reputation through organizations like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) hinge on our rapid response and our results. From Grimaldi’s Bakery back to Forest Park’s amusement village, we are New Yorkers – invested in the culture and the history of what makes our structures worth the thorough attention we can provide.
