In addition to mold mitigation, water restoration and fire restoration, SERVPRO® does chemical cleanup and disposal, crime scene cleanup, including blood and other bodily fluids, human and animal waste cleanup, and items which are considered hazardous in nature. Chemical spills and other types of chemical contamination are always treated as biohazard cleanups. Technicians who perform these types of cleanups are trained in materials handling, containment, and disposal of chemical and biological contaminants, according to Local and State Regulations.

In every case, chemical and biohazard cleaning services are treated with the utmost level of care and professionalism, regardless of the size of the job. Since these can include bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, and other potentially hazardous substances, the SERVPRO team will arrive in protective suits, complete with gloves, respirators, and boots. Safety is paramount when performing these types of cleanups.

Our trained experts are frequently called in to perform crime scene and unattended death cleanup services. Often, chemical residues are left behind from evidence-gathering procedures at crime scenes. Also, the after-effects of trauma or unattended death events leave biohazardous materials on soft goods and building materials. In some cases, items can be cleaned, while in others they are disposed of properly. Because trauma often involves potentially hazardous pollutants, SERVPRO has established a comprehensive biohazard and crime scene cleanup program. 

SERVPRO offers biohazard and chemical cleanup services for residential and commercial properties, cars, trucks, campers, boats, and other vehicles. Chemical fumes can permeate large spaces, sometimes entire houses, including the HVAC system. The SERVPRO team will make sure every space gets the proper attention using the right cleaning agent for the job. We also do deodorization to ensure no smell remains of the contaminant. When the SERVPRO team finishes the job, it will be, “like it never even happened®”.
