Biohazard Cleanup and Restoration

Our Biohazard Experience

When most people think about biohazard, they think toxic chemicals.  We not only take care of that for example, we recently had to dispose of many chemicals in a school science lab as they were preparing to remodel the building. However, the most common type of biohazard we encounter is the cleaning of the remains of a body or crime scene. This is a very hard and often difficult time for families. We take great care and discretion in these matters. Often, a loved one passes and is unreported for days or weeks. After the officials investigate and remove the loved one, we come in and clean and deodorize the property to better than before conditions. Most people also do not realize that this is usually covered by the home owner’s insurance. Click here to see a before and after of a biohazard job that we completed.

Common Biohazard Scenarios

Sewage Backups

Sewage backups and dark water intrusions are more than nasty, smelly deposits – these damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into a structure. We remove the sewage, contaminants, and moisture, and help ensure the structure is properly cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.

Bloodborne Pathogens

We remove and dispose of bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially pathogenic substances resulting from accident, trauma, crime or death. Trained SERVPRO of Galveston Island/Lake Jackson Professionals clean, disinfect and deodorize the structure.

Illegal Drug Manufacturing Labs / Meth Labs

SERVPRO realizes many of the chemicals used in the production of illegal drugs such as "meth" are volatile and can leave harmful residues throughout a structure. We follow federal and state guidelines to properly clean all surfaces.
