Benefect Decon 30 is an EPA-certified, hospital-grade disinfectant that has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to Coronavirus.

During this unprecedented time caused by the global pandemic of coronavirus, the last thing you want is water damage to befall upon your property, preventing you from comfortably inhabiting your home during quarantine. SERVPRO is currently working on water damage restoration jobs in South Lake Tahoe, Douglas County, and surrounding areas. We are considered an essential business which will continue to operate, making sure that damaged homes are restored and businesses have access to professional deep cleaning and disinfecting services for public and high-contact facilities.

SERVPRO has been performing fire and water restoration work in homes and business for more than 50 years and in that time, we have had to do work in some very hazardous environments; many times, in environments that involved more deadly pathogens than the coronavirus. As a company, we have taken many precautionary steps to prevent contaminating ourselves and the environments we work in.

• All tools and equipment coming into your property have been cleaned and disinfected.
• All workers wear personal protective equipment to protect themselves while performing work.
• We’ve all been provided with training to safely work in contaminated environments.
• We’ve all been provided with training to identify coronavirus symptoms and carefully monitor ourselves and our co-workers
• We have stringent safety and health policies and procedures; and we continually strive to follow and improve our safe work practices.

We are taking the appropriate measures to ensure we don’t cross contaminate ourselves, our co-workers, our customers, or our families.

In our best effort to keep everyone healthy, safe and working, we are implementing the recommended procedures on all of our SERVPRO job sites. We are committed to the federal and local government's guidelines to help prevent and limit exposure in our community. The wellbeing of our employees and our customers is our top priority.

SOCIAL DISTANCING, LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON OUR JOB SITESAND MANDATORY HYGIENE PROCEDURES WILL BE ENFORCED.

We are also working with an Environmental Hygienist who can provide an “Instant Clearance Test” once we have completed our cleaning. With this, our clients and their customers can be assured through documentation that we did the work properly. If we are performing a cleaning job for your commercial property, you will have documentation when we finish stating:

“Based on our visual inspection and sampling results, the cleaning, sanitization, decontamination, and disinfection of accessible high touch surfaces throughout the above-mentioned facility was successful in removing pathogenic and other types of organisms to current state of the industry hospital cleanliness standards.”

Because the situation is changing rapidly, it is important to continue referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the most up-to-date information related to the response. 

• SERVPRO professionals are trained in adhering to the highest cleaning and sanitation standards.
• SERVPRO is performing all cleanup and bioremediation in accordance with the guidelines provided by the CDC and local authorities.
• Benefect® Decon 30 Disinfectant is a Botanical Disinfectant, Bactericide, Fungicide, Virucide*, Cleaner and Deodorizer which we will be using on our job sites.
• Benefect® Decon 30 Disinfectant is EPA registered as a No Rinse No Wipe product. It is a hospital-grade disinfectant that has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19).
• There is currently no product tested against this particular strain of the Coronavirus.
• Proactive cleaning will not prevent or protect the building from future contamination if an infected person was to enter and occupy the building.

We must all do our part to help stop the spread of this illness.

We will continue to perform essential functions for fire and water damage restoration in our communities while continuing to take every precaution against spreading any contaminant.

In addition to fire and water damage restoration, SERVPRO has the People, the Products, and Protocol to Perform Pro-Active Cleaning and Disinfecting of any residential or commercial building. We are following the CDC Recommendations and using the EPA Registered Product, Benefect Decon 30 Disinfectant.
