Don't mess with biohazardous contamination.

How Should I Handle Biohazard Cleanups In El Centro?

When you think of biohazard material, your mind probably flashes back to a television show featuring biological agents as part of a terrorist plot.  Or, you may think of the biohazard warning signs present on industrial buildings.  What most homeowners may not realize is that there may be some biohazards in their homes in the form of cleaning chemicals. 

There are property damage events that may happen that will contaminate a structure. Whenever floodwaters or sewage are present, bacteria will threaten your health. Even clear-water flooding can trigger the growth of nasty microbes in the indoor environment.

Part of our training and certification is done through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) involves the understanding of practical restoration efforts when infectious waste is present.  Whether contamination comes from body fluids, sewage water, or even triggered by clean water flooding our knowledgeable staff treats each job with the utmost caution to protect the health of all involved.  Protection usually implies the use of protective personal equipment (such as gloves, overalls, and goggles) as well as having immunizations relevant to the task at hand.
 When our SERVPRO technicians become aware of the presence of mold, they may go as far as to wear masks or purifying respirators to protect themselves.  The goal is to avoid any direct contact with the contaminants throughout the cleanup process.  Additionally, you may see our team setting up containment areas to avoid spreading pollutants.  SERVPRO technicians follow established guidelines and local ordinances concerning the disposal of biohazard materials.
