Biohazard Cleaning in Falmouth, MA

Hands-On Help When Life Gets Messy

You don’t expect a sewage backup or trauma scene. But when the unexpected hits in Falmouth, you want a local team that gets it—and gets to work fast. That’s where SERVPRO comes in.

We’ve cleaned up homes near Woods Hole, businesses off Route 28, and properties close to the water. We know the challenges Cape Cod homes face—aging plumbing, salt air, and tight spaces. Our biohazard crew brings experience and care to every job.

What “Biohazard Cleaning” Means

Biohazard cleaning (also called decontamination or remediation) involves removing blood, bodily fluids, chemical residue, and more. We:

  • Isolate the affected zone
  • Set up containment barriers to block contamination
  • Use HEPA filtration (high-efficiency vacuums for microscopic particles)
  • Disinfect with EPA-registered products

Think of it like restoring a weathered deck. You don’t just slap on paint—you sand it, seal it, and make it solid again.

Our Services Include:

  • Trauma & crime scene cleanup
  • Sewage & wastewater removal
  • Chemical spill remediation
  • Hoarding cleanup
  • Odor removal & deep cleaning

We approach every job with precision and respect. Because in tight-knit communities like Falmouth, we’re not just workers—we’re neighbors.

Let SERVPRO help you restore not just cleanliness, but calm. One surface at a time.

Our professionals are trained to deal with these unique and sensitive issues using specialized, state-of-the-art equipment. We focus on ensuring that your home or business can return to a clean and safe environment as quickly as possible.

Hoarding Cleanup

Dealing with extreme clutter seems like an impossible task. Where do I start? How do I remove everything? How do I ensure that it’s sanitary? SERVPRO can provide the answers, expertise, and resources to bring your property back to a sanitary and habitable space.

Rodent Infestation

No one likes sharing their space with unsanitary intruders. They eat your wires and ductwork, urinate and defecate in your attics and walls, and cause real anxiety. We will thoroughly disinfect and clean your home or business to “make it like it never even happened.”

What To Do When You Have a Biohazard Emergency

The need for biohazard or hazmat cleaning usually comes with little or no warning. And it can be truly overwhelming.

Dealing with hazardous materials is best left to experienced, certified professionals. But if you find yourself in such a traumatic incident, here are a few important things to remember.


1.svg

Call Emergency Personnel

Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.

2.svg

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

3.svg

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

4.svg

Treat All Bodily Fluids As Contaminated

Do not touch or handle items that might be contaminated with extremely harmful bodily fluids. And always treat bodily fluids as if they’re contaminated.

Rapid Response

I am impressed with the scope of work accomplished by your tech, Andrew, in such a brief amount of time.  He is a whirlwind and hard worker.

  Thanks again for the rapid response to the disgusting mess; it took an expert to make it habitable and safe.

I bought a house that sat empty for 5 years, and the insulation in the crawl space was in bad shape to say the least. There had been some unwanted "guests". The crew from SERVPRO spent 4 days removing contaminated insulation and then thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the area. They were so nice and pleasant in spite of this very dirty job in a very small place, and they really made this a stressfree experience. I highly recommend SERVPRO of Cape Cod and The Islands!

Recently, we had our chimney capped at our Cape Cod summer home to prevent the intrusion of wildlife during the winter months. Unfortunately, the company that performed the work neglected to inspect the two flues to see if there were already animals living inside the chimney. Shortly thereafter, our alarm company reported the motion detectors were signaling something moving throughout the house. After two alerts, I went to the house to see what was setting off the alarms. When I got there I couldn't believe the scene before me. Two raccoons had been trapped in the house (because their chimney entry point had been capped), and had torn apart the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and soiled the carpets, walls, and windows with blood, urine, and excrement. It was a complete disaster. After the animals were removed, SERVPRO came in and cleaned, disinfected and sanitized the entire house, but more importantly, cleaned the carpets so well they did not have to be replaced. The price was fair, and the crew was on time, professional and highly efficient. After two days, it really was like it never even happened.
