SERVPRO Bags Biohazardous Attic Insulation in a Chicago Property's Attic

SERVPRO Treats Biohazardous Events in Your Attic Caused by Vermin

Raccoons can make their way into your attic, leaving behind a variety of damages including biohazard waste, making it critical for you to avoid handling materials such as insulation, drywall, or wood found in the area.  
 
Sadly, this wild creature is the primary host of a roundworm infection called, Baylisascaris Procyanidins, that is harmful to humans. If you discover raccoons living in or around your Evergreen Park area home, it is simple; biohazards exist that put you and your family at risk of infection.  
 
Raccoons living in your attic tend to leave fecal matter and urine in common areas, called latrines. However, there is far more damage (biohazardous) that a raccoon can do and the longer they inhabit the area, the more types of damages they are likely to cause.  
 
You should always consider these areas hazardous and obtain professional biohazard cleaning services from a company, like SERVPRO. Our IICRC certified technicians utilize full personal protective equipment and follow all safety protocols necessary to limit exposure and loss.
 
SERVPRO’s expertly trained staff understands how damaging this type of intrusion can be and have years of experience returning your attic space to a safe, healthy condition, helping you improve your living environment and remove biohazards from your home.  
 
SERVPRO performs all cleaning and repair services needed to return your attic space to normal. We start with removing contaminated insulation and then blow in new insulation after the area is clean and sanitized using fogging equipment with the appropriate antimicrobial agents.  
 
We help eliminate odors and unsanitary conditions related to raccoon infestations after pest control services successfully trap and remove the animal. Technicians locate entryways or openings made by raccoons to gain entry to your home and make repairs to your roof, flashing, or framing.  
 
In some cases, raccoons can also do damage to air ducts and contaminate ventilation systems where repairs become necessary as well. These pests also use pipe insulation, electrical wiring insulation, wood and other materials for creating nesting areas, promoting possible fire damage and other hazards that make your home unsafe.  
 
Our staff at SERVPRO of Evergreen Park / South Chicago City provide you with expertly trained technicians that make hazards caused by raccoon intrusion a thing of the past, “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today. (773) 337-3900
