When faced with a biohazard situation, the stakes are high. Whether it's due to a crime scene, trauma event, or hazardous waste, the presence of biological materials poses serious health risks. At SERVPRO®, we specialize in biohazard cleanup and remediation, ensuring safety and thorough restoration for your property. In this post, we’ll delve into what biohazard cleanup entails, the associated risks, and why professional assistance is crucial.

- Infections: Pathogens from blood and bodily fluids can transmit diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, and other infectious diseases.
- Allergic Reactions: Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues.
- Psychological Impact: The aftermath of a trauma event can have lasting psychological effects on those involved.

Does Your Southern Oregon Home Have A Mold Problem?
9/12/2023 (Permalink)
In Southern Oregon mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce health effects.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

How to handle water damage to floors
9/20/2022 (Permalink)
Just like with any other type of water damage, if there is water damage to the floors, professionals should be called in to handle the job. Professionals know the necessary steps, safety procedures, and have the training to ensure that the area is properly and safely cleaned up. If you’re inexperienced in cleaning up water damage, attempting to take on the task yourself could result in mistakes that could further damage the building or create health hazards for the occupants of the building. Hiring professionals to handle the job will ensure that the building will be fully restored and that no additional damage will be caused. When they’re finished, you’ll be able to reoccupy the building without fear that there’s any damage or health hazards in the building due to the water damaged floors.
Water damage is a worry for all homeowners. In addition to ceilings and walls, floors are also a part of the house that’s susceptible to water damage. Anything from a roof leak to a leaking pipe or spilled drink could potentially result in water damage to the floor. If you do suffer water damage to your floors, or any other part of your house, call on the professionals at SERVPRO to ensure a proper and safe restoration.

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons from your property, which helps prevent secondary water damage and mold growth.
Water Removal Equipment
- Moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation.
- Infrared cameras may be used to find “hidden” water behind walls and ceilings.
- Submersible and gas-powered pumps are used for continuous pumping of high-level water.
- Truck-mounted and portable extraction units perform efficient water removal.
Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
- Remove Excess Water
- Use Submersible Pumps and Industrial Wet/Dry Vacuums
