Biohazard Cleaning on the Upper West Side
Discreet, Skilled Help Right Around the Corner
You don’t expect a biohazard emergency—but when one lands in your UWS home or building, you want a team that knows Central Park West from Riverside Drive. That’s us: SERVPRO, ready with expertise, care, and respect.
From brownstones to luxury co-ops, we’ve cleaned a wide range of Upper West Side spaces. Tight hallways, vintage plumbing, squeaky elevators—we handle them all.
What Biohazard Cleaning Involves
Also called remediation, it’s more than scrubbing surfaces. We:
- Seal off the affected area with containment barriers
- Use HEPA filtration to capture microscopic particles
- Clean thoroughly with EPA-registered disinfectants
- Remove and dispose of contaminated materials safely
Imagine restoring a prized antique piano—you don’t just dust the outside. You tune every string, clean internal bits, and protect it for years. That’s how we treat your space when things go wrong.
Services We Provide in the UWS Area
- Crime and trauma cleanup
- Sewage and wastewater removal
- Chemical spill decontamination
- Hoarding & clutter cleanup
- Odor control & deep surface cleaning
We’re not outsiders—we’re part of this neighborhood. We shop at local grocers, see your kids at the playground, and understand UWS building quirks. That means when you call SERVPRO, you’re calling trusted neighbors who care about your space as much as ours.
Let SERVPRO help restore your home or business to calm, secure, and clean—one cared-for surface at a time.
Crime Scene and Trauma
Crime scene and trauma cleanup requires a compassionate, professional, and timely response. We approach these situations with both technical expertise and respect for the people involved. Serious health hazards are posed by hazardous substances like:
- Blood
- Bodily fluids
- Decomposing tissue
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.
Death and Suicide
Discovering the remains of someone who’s passed away is a shocking and tragic experience. SERVPRO understands and is here to help, bringing compassion and the necessary tools and resources to discreetly clean, disinfect, and deodorize the affected area.
Suicide presents many hardships. Your peace of mind is important to us, and our discreet and speedy cleanup and sanitization process will ease your stress. We’re dedicated to providing speedy, discreet, and considerate cleanup so you can concentrate on your family or business affairs.
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.”
Illicit Substances
The production and use of illegal drugs can result in exposure to volatile and harmful chemicals. Our professionals follow federal and state guidelines when cleaning and decontaminating the affected areas of your home or business.
Chemicals and Residues
Our technicians specialize in the safe, thorough removal of chemical residues left behind after emergencies, law enforcement activity, or industrial accidents. We can handle a wide range of hazardous materials and contamination scenarios, such as:
- Fingerprint powder
- Tear gas
- Pepper spray
- Fire extinguishers
SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.
Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:
- Blood
- Drug Residue
- Bodily Fluids
must be removed and the affected area decontaminated to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.
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.
Call Emergency Personnel
Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.
Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself
Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.
Stay Out Of The Area
Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
What our
customers are saying
I was scared of scams after my high-rise had severe storm damage. Your decades in the business and recommendations from my family and friends are why SERVPRO was my first choice. Never looking back.
I am an engineer and did my due diligence. Training and the right equipment are why SERVPRO is your answer to damage from water, smoke, and other disasters.
I had a fire in my apartment that started in my kitchen. After the fire department left Ben from SERVPRO of the Upper West Side was extremely helpful! We got an estimate and they quickly got to work. Two days later the smell of the smoke was completely gone. The soot was gone from all the surfaces and cabinets in my kitchen. It was clean and done with such professionalism. The price was fair and I was more satisfied. I recommend SERVPRO of the upper west side to all families that have lost their homes from floods, fires, and etc.
I wasn't sure who could dry my flooded basement but am glad I found SERVPRO of the Upper West Side. Ben gave me an estimate that same day and more helpful than I ever expected. My basement was completely dry and back to normal within the week. I'm very thankful I found them because their service was great.
SERVPRO of Upper West Side was great! Water flooded my living room after a sudden downpour and I couldn't keep it from flooding in. From the office person answering my phone call, to the workers who immediately came out, everyone was helpful and told me exactly what to expect. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks!
We tried your competitors but were appalled at how often they skipped an appointment or left junk for us to cleanup. Fast, consistent, and professional work are reasons why SERVPRO is the restoration company for us.
I checked a lot of reviews and asked neighbors. Reports of speed and high-quality services are why SERVPRO made the cut. My contractor praised the work you did cleaning up water and mold damage before my latest remodel. Adding my positive review to many others.
I asked a lot of questions and feel I know why SERVPRO is the best. My neighbors are still waiting, but all of my damage is fixed after the water main burst.
So many issues popped up after the fire, and I didn't want to find a dozen contractors to fix them all. A look at your website showed me why SERVPRO was a good fit.
