Why Choose SERVPRO for Biohazard Cleaning Services?

Biohazard Cleanup and Restoration in Franklin, NC

Exposure to biological and chemical contaminants carries serious health risks, and the longer they stay on your property, the greater the danger to everyone inside. SERVPRO of Nantahala provides fast, professional biohazard cleanup for homes and businesses across Franklin and Western North Carolina.

How Our Biohazard Cleanup Process Works

Our technicians are trained to remove and dispose of biohazard materials in full compliance with OSHA guidelines and health regulations. That includes sewage backups, bloodborne pathogens, chemical contaminants, and other hazardous materials. Every job follows strict safety protocols from containment through final sanitization.

What Biohazard Situations We Handle in Western North Carolina

We respond to a wide range of biohazard scenarios including sewage overflows, trauma and crime scene cleanup, hoarding remediation, and chemical spills. Whether the situation involves a residential property in Franklin or a commercial space in Murphy or Bryson City, our team has the training and equipment to restore it to a safe, livable condition.

Why Fast Response Matters for Biohazard Cleanup

Contaminants spread. What starts as a contained situation can compromise air quality, saturate building materials, and create long-term health hazards if cleanup is delayed. SERVPRO of Nantahala is available to respond quickly and handle the job from start to finish.

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.


Green number 1

Call Emergency Personnel

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

Green number 2

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

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

Green number 3

Stay Out Of The Area

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

Green number 4

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.

What our
customers are saying

We experienced water damage in our basement and contacted SERVPRO for help. From the very beginning, they were wonderful! This was a big job, requiring drywall and flooring to be removed, which is never a pleasant experience. Throughout the entire process, Rex was very quick to respond to our call/texts and always available to answer our questions. He was incredibly patient, thorough, and took the time to explain everything so we understood what was happening. Using ServPros repair team was alot easier than us having to contact and set up multiple contractors for the job. The crew was equally wonderful! They were respectful of our home, arrived when they said they would, and worked incredibly hard. Rex and his team took what could have been an extremely stressful experience and made it as smooth and painless as possible. We truly appreciate their professionalism, communication, and hard work. Thank you, Rex and the entire SERVPRO team!

Serv Pro did an outstanding job restoring my home after a lightning strike/fire. David the worksite Supervisor, oversaw the repairs and workmen. He was knowledgeable and took care of my home like it was his own. The folks in the office were available to talk with anytime I needed. I really can’t say enough good things about this company. I would HIGHLY recommend for any restorations you might need. G Harris.

I'm pleased with my experience with Servpro! Melissa acted quickly and was at my home to assess the damage within a couple of hours. I'm very thankful for the team and their hard work! They were all friendly, too. Having my home cleaned within 2 days is amazing.

Robyn Bryson

Great experience with Servpro! So professional and easy to work with! They went above and beyond what we expected! We appreciate all the crew who worked on our home! We are beyond satisfied! We would highly recommend them! Thank you Servpro!

Judy Camp

We have used this servepro twice now. The first time was 6 years ago to completely re- roof our house, and now again to have a roof repair after a tree branch made a hole in my roof and to repair the water damage from the roof hole in our bedroom ceiling. Each time the staff have been pleasant, helpful and very accommodating to our busy schedule. Their prices are fair and reasonable (even though our insurance has been able to cover the costs). I will always call them first for any damage repair jobs from here on out. Special shout out to the Murphy satellite office!! Absolutely wonderful to work with Kyra!!
