SERVPRO safely removed and disinfected this area that was affected by biohazard pathogens.

SERVPRO of Jackson/Lacey professionals specialize in the removal and decontamination of environments affected by blood and other bodily fluids. These situations often arise from accidents, crime scenes, suicides, unattended deaths, or medical emergencies. The presence of blood is considered a biohazard due to the potential for bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, which can pose serious health risks if not handled properly.

The cleanup process begins with a thorough assessment of the site to determine the extent of contamination and the necessary steps for remediation. Our technicians are highly trained in handling hazardous materials and are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, goggles, and full-body suits, to ensure their safety and prevent cross-contamination.

Once the assessment is complete, our team will use specialized cleaning agents and equipment to disinfect and sanitize the area. This may involve removing and safely disposing of contaminated materials, such as carpets, furniture, and personal items that cannot be adequately cleaned. Advanced techniques, such as air scrubbing and odor removal, are also employed to restore the environment to a safe and habitable condition.

In addition to cleaning, we provide support services to help families and businesses cope with the aftermath of traumatic events. This includes working discreetly and compassionately, respecting the privacy and emotional needs of those affected, and offering guidance on insurance claims and providing thorough documentation.

Choosing SERVPRO of Jackson/Lacey ensures that all health and safety regulations are followed, providing peace of mind and a clean, safe environment. By addressing these sensitive situations with expertise and care, our team plays a crucial role in restoring order and safety to affected spaces.
