Water Remediation

Big jobs are no problem for SERVPRO

Cleaning up after a major storm can be a substantial undertaking, whether the damage was caused by a tornado, hurricane, flooding, snow or ice. The primary focus during the cleanup process should be on safety. Ensure the area is structurally sound and free of any electrical, hazardous materials, or other dangers before proceeding.

It's crucial to wear the appropriate safety gear when tackling post-disaster cleanup. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following:

• Hard hats
• Protective goggles
• N95 masks or a respirator
• Waterproof steel-toed boots with insoles
• Earplugs or protective headphones
• Having two fire extinguishers on site

If possible, work with others to help lift heavy items. Prioritize the most important tasks and tackle those first. Remember to take breaks when you're feeling fatigued.

If the job seems overwhelming, especially if water, mold or sewage is involved, don't hesitate to call SERVPRO®. During major storm events, their Disaster Recovery Team assembles locally with the necessary crews and equipment to handle these complex cleanup situations that require additional resources.

Biohazard/Bio Recovery

Sterilization of Bio material

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CLEANUP?

• SUICIDE
  The emotional toll on friends and family can be devastating when someone dies by suicide. Suicide attempts that are successful can also cause significant damage to a home, such as with gun suicides that affect a large area. SERVPRO® will remediate all organic material and properly dispose of affected items in accordance with biohazard regulations.
• UNATTENDED DEATH
  An unattended death occurs when a body goes undiscovered for an extended period. After death, the body begins to decompose, which can be a very distressing and gruesome process for a family to witness. Decomposition leads to odors, insects, bacteria, and mold. SERVPRO's goal is to fully sanitize the affected area and remove any contaminated personal property.
• HOMICIDE/TRAUMA
  Once the crime scene investigation is complete, SERVPRO® steps in to help restore the area to normal. We specialize in cleaning up not just bodily fluids and biohazards, but also remnants of the criminal investigation, such as tear gas, fingerprint dust, and chemicals. We work efficiently and carefully to remove all traces of the trauma, and we have experience collaborating with law enforcement. 
• INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
  All biohazardous materials must be properly disposed of and handled by certified technicians who comply with OSHA and EPA regulations. This is crucial for the safety of everyone involved. Business owners, landlords, and commercial/industrial property managers risk legal issues and lawsuits if the area is not decontaminated and sanitized correctly. SERVPRO of Davenport/Bettendorf is trained to address the unique challenges of workplace biohazard remediation, including dealing with machinery and transportation.
