Electrostatic SERVPRO Tech disinfecting with an electrostatic sprayer.

The past year we have all learned new ways to clean and disinfect, how often it should be done, how long it can take and how expensive it can be. Viruses can live on hard surfaces for days and be easily transmitted. 
With many of our businesses and schools opening back up, more and more people will be coming through the doors and the chances for viruses to spread will also rise. Do you have a plan? How often will you disinfect? How often can you disinfect? How much will this cost?  SERVPRO of Mt Pleasant, Clare & Houghton Lake can help you with all of these questions. We use an electrostatic sprayer that allows us to disinfect more area in less time with less product. How the electrostatic sprayer works is that when the disinfectant exits the sprayer, it does so with a positive charge. The disinfecting agent is now attracted to all negative surfaces and will spread around all visible areas. When the positively charged disinfecting agent droplets come in contact with each other, it naturally moves away from each other creating the spread of the disinfecting agent, covering more area and creating a more uniformed application. We use EPA approved disinfectants that are used in the restaurant and medical fields and our customers can be back in the area that was sprayed within 10 minutes. Because of this new and effective technology, many businesses are adding this to their readiness and cleaning guidelines. It is very important that when using this that the individuals that are spraying are highly trained and compliant with the Centers For Disease Control guidelines.  Call SERVPRO at 989-775-5065 or visit us at www.SERVPROofmpchl.com to set up your readiness and cleaning plan

Trauma scene clean up requires handling biohazardous material in a safe and responsible manner. This can include a variety or scenarios that are often emotional and extremely sensitive.

These types of calls require a level of expertise that not all restoration companies are able to provide. Due to federal and state regulations, there is a specific process to follow when damage such as this occurs. Governing bodies such as OSHA, the EPA and CDC have declared their own guidelines and rules for appropriate methods of clean-up.

Bottom line- you need to choose an experienced company who can assist you every step of the way. From understanding the sensitivity of the situation to proper cleanup according regulations, SERVPRO of Mt.Pleasant, Clare and Houghton Lake  can assist you in navigating such a stressful situation.
