Tyvek suites during a covid cleaning
Florida businesses have been reopened for a few years now since the Coronavirus hit. There are some cases that the virus does impact a business still to this day. We are happy to offer COVID-19 related cleaning. To date, we have already carried out a number of cleanings for many members of our Lake County community. We can provide estimates for proactive, suspected, and confirmed cleanings. Treatment involves fogging the area(s) with an EPA registered water-based disinfectant then wiping down touch points. This product is a hospital grade disinfectant and falls into the lowest toxicity category. It is also NSF certified for direct food contact surface use. If desired, we are happy to provide a safety data sheet.

Is this water sanitary?

Flooding & Contamination sewage
Cat 1 would involve sanitary water, a Cat 2 would be significantly contaminated, and a Cat 3 would be grossly contaminated. This is important because it affects work activities and protective measures that are needed for each job. It is important for our technicians, when working these jobs, to protect themselves by wearing the following PPE (Personal Protective Equipment): Full face respirator with combination HEPA particulate/organic vapor filters, a full body suit, nitrile gloves, heavy-duty work gloves and waterproof boots.
On this particular Cat 3 job, a building under construction experienced a sewage loss in one of the restrooms, which resulted in most of the floor throughout the wing being affected. We were contacted by the customer and were able to respond immediately to begin the work process. In this case, we performed a water extraction, decontaminated affected areas with an antimicrobial multiple times, removed flooring and drywall, placed several air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to aid in the drying process, and HEPA vacuumed all affected areas.
Upon completion of services our customer was thrilled to be able to resume construction on the building and appreciative that our highly trained and certified crew made such a massive, gross debacle “Like it never even happened.”

Drywall Removal
Always count on SERVPRO for a fast response time!
SERVPRO of Lake County Florida was contacted by a medical facility on a Sunday afternoon for a major sewage backup; our on call weekend crew was ready for the task. The supervisor headed to the job site within a short time while the crew loaded up all the necessary equipment and proceeded to their destination. They accessed the situation and put on all their necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and started spraying anti-microbial solution over the entire affected areas. They began to extract all the material from over 2,000 sq. ft. of affected flooring. When they had the situation under control they began to cut all the affected flooring and drywall according to IICRC standards, then places dehumidifiers and Hepa-Filtered Air Scrubbers to clean the air. When we finished late that night the customer was very pleased on how we took control of their situation. We told him that our goal was to make it “Like it never even happened.” Please call SERVPRO of Lake County FL. at Ph. 352-735-3311
