FAQs
What does biohazard cleanup involve, and when is it needed?
Biohazard cleanup refers to the safe removal, cleaning, and disinfection of materials contaminated by blood, bodily fluids, or other potentially infectious substances. Common scenarios include crime scenes, unattended deaths, hoarding situations, and industrial accidents. The team at ServiceMaster by Griffing uses specialized equipment and follows strict safety protocols to ensure the area is restored to a safe, habitable condition.
How do you handle ice dam water damage, which is common in Scranton winters?
Ice dams form when snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, causing water to back up under shingles and into the attic or walls. In Scranton, this often leads to attic condensation damage and ceiling stains. ServiceMaster by Griffing responds quickly to extract standing water, dry affected areas with industrial-grade equipment, and assess for hidden moisture to prevent mold growth. We also work with local contractors to address the root cause.
Does mold remediation require specialized training or certification?
Yes, proper mold remediation requires training in containment, air filtration, and safe removal techniques to prevent spores from spreading. ServiceMaster by Griffing follows industry standards and uses HEPA vacuums, negative air machines, and antimicrobial treatments. We identify the moisture source causing the mold and ensure the area is fully dried and treated before finishing the job.
