Common Biohazard Scenarios

Methamphetamine Labs

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

Animals

While you may not hear them or seem them, you will smell them. Animals like to find warm places to be during the cold winter months. They also need a place to go during the hot summer months. What's better than a shelter to keep them safe? a CRAWLSPACE! Animals will chew through and destroy crawlspace vent covers, allowing them to enter the crawlspace. It starts with feces on the visqueen, nests and feces in the insulation, and torn ducting. 

Raccoons, Opossums, and cats can really cause some damage under your home. While it may not be desirable, it is recommended that you regularly check your crawlspace to ensure this is not going on in your home. 

Biohazard emergencies don’t always happen during regular business hours, and that’s why SERVPRO Franchise Professionals are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We will respond day or night. Monday or Sunday.
