Our biohazard cleanup is necessary for any situation involving biological waste, such as a crime scene, unattended death, sewage backup, or even hoarding situations. It is always better to err on the side of caution and call us if you have any concerns. However, some signs that you may need our services include strong odours, visible blood or bodily fluids, and the presence of hazardous materials. Our highly trained technicians will properly assess the situation and provide you with a detailed plan of action for safe and thorough cleanup and disinfection. Don't risk your health or the health of your loved ones, trust our biohazard cleanup services to handle any biohazard situation with expertise and care.
Depending on the extent of the fire or smoke damage, this is ultimately your decision. Your insurance company may provide some guidance on this matter. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
Drying time after water damage in your commercial property is determined by a combination of factors including the location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your facility; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency services are started. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, our trained technicians can determine when the drying is complete. For example, carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no hard and fast rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
