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

I had a very unusual situation happen last month in Pittsburgh, I live in Charlotte NC. My brother who is now deceased lived in Pittsburgh. He was found deceased in his home during a wellness check after 4 days. Least I say it was a horrific scene. Cause of death was called a GI bleed out. I called ServPro and begged them to be able to clean, remove carpets and sterilize the home before we arrived. They were able to accommodate our needs in less than 24hrs. This is when our Angel from ServPro showed up, his name is Kevin Martin. He and his team arrived at the home and started their magic under his supervision. Once we got to the home it was in a condition that was more than tolerable. His knowledge, demeanor, professionalism was over the top. What struck us the most was his empathy and sympathy toward our grieving . Kevin was the perfect person at the perfect time to help get us through an extremely troubling time and situation. His encouragement and understanding of our situation made the entire ordeal went extremely well. You guys are Lucky to have him representing your company, hats off to the HR department who hired him. Thanks AgainšŸ˜€šŸ‘šŸ‘

Ok. Here is a shout out to employee , Katelyn Gout. Started rough as the office provided her with the wrong address to our church and sent her to Pittsburgh instead of Clarion county first but she took the time to still drive the entire way up here and meet me to try and help us out. This is above and beyond the call of duty and she should be commended for this act of professionalism. Such a pleasure to work with. Our little church suffered a catastrophic furnace malfunction which has caused a real mess and I personally appreciate as a service employee myself that there are some people out here willing to go above and beyond to service a customer. You folks better figure out a way to keep this girl employed with your company. There isn't many left

Servpro is an outstanding company to work with! They have helped us out through a sewage flood and water flood in our basement! They were thorough and very detailed explaining the process! Their kindness and expertise was invaluable!!

Jodi Fleishman

Katelyn, Michael and the entire crew were so kind, personable and timely during our water emergency. They remedied the situation and were easy to communicate with at all points of service. Hopefully we don’t have any water emergencies, but if we do I will definitely call this office and hope to work with this crew again. Thank you!

Claire Kelly

Kevin Martin is awesome! Very professional and courteous too. He even answers texts when there are homeowners questions like mind after 10pm

Robin Antanaitis

So nice and completely professional. I would absolutely recommend this company and our representative Bob.The customer service was outstanding.

Jaired Thomas

I highly recommend ServPro Team Dobson. I’ve used them twice now and they were fantastic both times. Bob Jonda was my project manager/estimator and he was professional and quoted me very fair prices each time. The workers were punctual and respectful of my property. They left my house looking better than how they found it, which was the whole point of hiring them. I can’t recommend them enough, and will be referring them to everyone I know!

Joseph Campagna

This team was extremely quick, polite, and did everything that I asked. I couldn’t imagine going through our accident with any other company. The courteousness of all employees and working with my needs first. I thank them for the quick action and thoroughness.
