Crime Scene "Do Not Cross" yellow tape at a Biohazard scene in Carson City, Nevada

Discovering the scene of a major injury or death can be extremely traumatic. Despite the shock, one must remember to call the proper authorities and avoid contact with the scene because biohazard materials can spread infection and disease if they are mishandled. Traumatic situations that involve injury or death can be extremely dangerous and may involve hazardous materials. Violent crimes or scenes of serious accidents likely contain bodily fluids like blood or tissues, and must be handled by certified professionals, helping to prevent any contamination spread.

Law enforcement officials and EMT’s should be the first contacted. Next, a professional such as SERVPRO of Carson City / Douglas County / South Lake Tahoe and SERVPRO of Lyon & Storey Counties should be contacted to safely restore the scene. We are certified to properly clean and sanitize the scene to make it safe. 

If this is a crime scene, our technicians cooperate with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. It can be very difficult emotionally for friends and family members of the victim to cope with the situation. Our technicians work with the utmost respect and compassion for those who are grieving.

Death, suicide, crime, and other dramatic scenes can be emotionally taxing to handle alone. We provide support such as insurance negotiations, confidentiality and situation sensitivity. See our resource guide at the bottom of this article for some resources that may help in the Carson City, Nevada area.

Common Biohazard Scenarios

Sewage Backups

Sewage backups and dark water intrusions are more than nasty, smelly deposits – these damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into a structure. We remove the sewage, contaminants, and moisture, and help ensure the structure is properly cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.

Bloodborne Pathogens

We remove and dispose of bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially pathogenic substances resulting from accident, trauma, crime or death. Trained SERVPRO Franchise Professionals clean, disinfect and deodorize the structure.

Methamphetamine Labs

SERVPRO realizes many of the chemicals used in the production of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine are volatile and can leave harmful residues throughout a structure. We follow federal and state guidelines to properly clean all surfaces.
