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.

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

Incredible company with wonderful people! Nexus Electric has partnered with our local Serv-Pro for years and recently began working with the Gig Harbor location, and the experience has been seamless. Everyone we've interacted with has been fantastic!

Wendy Nearhoff

Serv Pro of Gig Harbor was quick, professional, and thorough. I called them in regard to my bathroom flooding and they did a great job explaining the process and completing the work. We highly recommend this service.

Alyssa Holstrom

I cannot recommend Servpro gig harbor highly enough! We are building a house, and for multiple reasons beyond our control, our build kept getting pushed out. By the time we finally broke ground and got the framing done, it was October. Unfortunately, the roofers took an entire month to finish putting the roof on, and by that time, the whole house was sopping wet. Add another month for the siders to finish, and even our builder was commenting on how bad the mold smell was. It was growing EVERYWHERE! This was exactly the circumstance we were trying to avoid, as my husband suffers from mold toxin illness. We called Servpro to see what could be done, and they came up with a plan that I am happy to say worked beautifully. They fogged the entire house and crawlspace heavily to eradicate the mold, and put as many dehumidifiers and fans in as our limited electricity would allow. They even came back out to spray a section in our labyrinth of a crawlspace where the fogging couldn’t reach. They had some difficult circumstances to navigate, but they always figured out a way to get the job done, and to do it well. We are beyond thankful that they were able to save our house from the mold. They helped us navigate a nightmare situation and afforded us the peace of mind that our new home won’t make anyone sick.

Alan and Clarissa Solomon

After discovering an "in the wall" leak, we contacted this company. They were amazing. They were out to the residence by the next day and the work was completed on time. We were especially impressed by their knowledge of what to do and how to navigate the insurance claim since we were inexperienced in dealing with this kind of mess. They were helpful at every stage and treated us like a valued family member from the first contact until the last bill was paid. We had used this company before for standard carpet cleaning (both carry-in and wall-to-wall at a residence), they have always exceeded our expectations.

Pat Holmes

We recommend SERVPRO if you need water/mold mitigation. The entire team was so helpful as we recovered from a leak on the exterior of our home, where the source of the rainwater was difficult to locate. They were responsive in their communication and made it easy to coordinate around our schedule for our three children and other work going on at our house. Their estimate was very reasonable. They kept us well informed throughout so that we understood the process at each step.

Robbie Miller

Prompt, thorough, kind, knowledgeable, great follow-through. What a relief to get good service. The Gig Harbor branch is excellent. Highly recommend.

Butter Toast

Servpro of Gig Harbor/N. Tacoma was prompt, thorough and professional when they assessed the water damage in the downstairs family room when a pipe burst upstairs. They eased this potential nightmare by finding unseen areas that also needed drying out. These professionals were courteous, provided a terrific explanation of the process and were a pleasure to work with. Our insurance company was pleased to work with them as they are known for the quality of service and thoroughness for each project.

Miriam Battson

So impressed on all counts. Fast, thorough, patient explanations, top quality equipment, billing, took all of the frustration out of the experience. Model business and service. While I hope to never need them again, good to know they're there if we need them any day/time!

Joe Carman

My business had a leak that caused water damage to a third of my office. Servpro's professionalism and expertise help turn a water nightmare into a major inconvenience. Within 3 days, we were back up and running again, and although we're still repairing our office, Servpro is easily the best company I have had to work with during this terrible disaster.
