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

Arrived on time and communicated well beforehand. Both gentlemen were knowledgeable and personable. I truly felt like they cared. And when you have water in your home and remediation is needed, caring goes a long way.Alonzo and Rashuun deserve kudos!

LaDonna Lewis

Great company to deal with. When you have a major problem like we did. Super quick to respond. Very knowledgeable and experience crew. And Alonzo and Rashunn explained exactly what was going on. Walked me through the process and provided excellent custom or service. If I had to have a bad day. At least I called the right crew to help me get the train back on the tracks.

Sheets Group

We had some ceiling damage that resulted in insulation falling all over a bedroom. Servpro did the initial clean up, came back and did additional cleaning in and around that room and finally after the repairs, came back and shampooed the carpet. The guys who came were Ben, Nick, Cory, Barron, Darryl and Rashuun. They did an amazing job. We would absolutely call them back for any additional work we might need. Well done!!!

Michael Darby

Russ and his partner, Kaitlyn, did a great job packing out our belongings after our house fire. Russ was communicative and I appreciated his team setting anything they were unsure about to the side for us to review before tossing it. They worked quickly, and made sure everything was done thoroughly. Thanks again!

Seth Cullop

Alonzo and Rashunn are amazing! They quickly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected my basement after a horrible septic back up. Made sure all impacted surfaces were covered, confidently advised me on the status of my home, and left me feeling safe and well cared for. These guys deserve a huge raise and exemplify excellence in customer service. They are my heroes!!!

Elizabeth Hupert

Alonzo is very polite and worked very hard to assist in the damage in my apartment. He was very informative and made sure I understood everything.

Pamela Patterson

Alonzo and Rashaun were amazing. They were down to earth and was very honest with us. They also were very hardworking. Serv pro is lucky to have two great guys like Alonzo and Rashaun. Thank you for all you did for us during this time for us.

We are extremely grateful to SERVPRO of Charlottesville for how quickly and professionally they responded to an unexpected property-damage situation involving one of our customers.
