When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it is mold in your home, school, place of work, or apartment there are many factors to consider. Are you going to be involved in a mold lawsuit? Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Will you be seeking medical damages? Will you need expert witnesses? If so, what kind? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need post mold remediation testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It is important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages and property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common, or inexperienced, mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

"I am active duty Navy stationed in California. My Florida home was damaged by Hurricane Irma. David Dillavoo (Flood pro 24) was contracted to repair my home in November. He has still not completed repairs. He said he would be done by Christmas. It's January 17th. He has been unreachable since new years by email or phone. We paid him for everything except the carpet, trim, and the Kitchen countertop (still incomplete). He even told us he had already bought the carpet. He has bailed on us and our home and left our home incomplete. I do NOT recommend anyone doing business with him no matter what company name he uses. My family is currently seeking to have him reimburse us for materials (carpet and counter) he purchased with our insurance claim and never installed. David Dillavoo has literally lied to me, my wife, and our tenant about progress on our home every time we spoke and now we can't even contact him. What a scumbag?! What goes around comes around.

To learn more, read 100s of positive reviews and watch our vast gallery of 100% satisfied customer video testimonials to understand why some of our customers have been with us over 15 years! Although we offer many services, each service is a different department. Each department specializes in one single service, with its own distinct expert technicians, cleaning supplies, equipment, and vehicles. Therefore, If you need more than one service, you would also need more than one service appointment. But you have nothing to worry about because we are experts at job flow coordination. Jessie offers a wide range of service solutions, from single services, such as home cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, pressure washing, office cleaning, commercial carpet cleaning, water damage restoration, pressure washing, and painting services, to fully Integrated Property Services (IPS) that combine all of your service and support functions into one single solution. This combination of services (IPS) is particular applicable in commercial and some residential settings.

"I’ve used many cleaning services as well as single housekeepers throughout the years, & struggled to find one who didn’t let quality slip after the first few months. Well, I found them, & they are Jessie’s. I’ve truly never been happier & can’t say enough about the level of detail they reach - my husband even notices (! ?); the team is always polite, thorough, responsive, thorough, professional, thorough, sweet, thorough...you get the message. They are all the things on your “wish list” & then some! They always want me to check to see if anything was missed or if I want something done differently, but there never is anything missed & nothing ever has to be done differently. From baseboards to the insides of windows (on rotation) - & the insides & outsides of glass doors (!) - to washing down every kitchen cabinet to scrubbing my cooktop to like-new, to reaching every speck of dust, to even washing the glass I left in the sink (!!), my house really does SPARKLE after they’ve been here. Yes, this company is more expensive than others...but after all my decades on earth, I’ve learned that you really do get what you pay for. And with Jessie’s, that’s miles past any other housekeeping company out there. THEY ARE SOOOO WORTH THE PRICE! Oh! They can also do more! They can send someone to clean your carpets, help you move large items, get you ready for a garage sale, pressure wash, and on & on & on. Truly full-service. I can’t say enough good things about them. My dogs even love it when they are here! ? If you need your house deep-cleaned & then kept this way, hire Jessie’s & you will be very happy you did."

"If you need someone to side with you so that you are not liable for your tenants health concerns these are your people!

He got a call from a client and yelled at them because they called his cell phone and not his office, then proceeded to tell us how some of his clients are crazy. I pointed out visible mold on air vents, and clear mold rings around junction box covers but he was not willing to even look at it never mind taking any samples he just kept saying "I have seen this before it's nothing to be concerned about" which was very odd. I showed him these photos and recommended he took a sample from behind the cover but he was only interested in taking a photo of my computer screen from across the room...I offered to send him the photos but he would rather just take photos of my computer screen. The only swab he even took was of the very corner of my dresser top which I clearly stated I had recently cleaned and his response was "well it looks like you clean everything so that's the problem" how about you take a sample of the mold itself and not a freshly cleaned surface seeing how I did not clean the mold? Red flags everywhere with this guy, he even took his one and only single air sample from the opposite corner of the room as the clearly visible mold problem. I pointed out my dehumidifier can not keep the relative humidity below 55% and it runs 24/7 but his excuse was it was not accurate and so he proved it by taking a humidity reading of the air OUTPUT from the unit, what does that even prove?! I showed him clearly painted over mold on my door frame and he totally played it off! I want to know how much my landlord paid him under the table, because this clown is ridiculous. He should be ashamed of playing with another humans health like this. DO NOT - I REPEAT, DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!"

Biohazard remediation services FAQs

There are several instances where household biohazard cleanup would be needed. All in all, anytime an event can potentially expose people to chemicals, pathogens, or viruses, a biohazard cleanup company must be called. These events can include:

  • Sewage backup

  • Unattended death or crime scene after death

  • Virus decontamination

  • Medical waste disposal 

  • Animal waste disposal 

  • Odor control   

  • Hazardous chemical removal

The cost of biohazard cleanup averages between $3,000 and $5,000 for most homeowners. Some services, like sanitizing high-traffic areas or sanitizing surfaces from a virus, cost closer to $1,500. However, other circumstances, like the extensive cleanup after a major sewer backup, could cost as much as $25,000

While a biohazard cleanup sounds like a scary process, knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns and set you up for success. It’s good to note that more than one professional might be needed depending on your situation, but that will be determined during the assessment. What you can expect during a home biohazard cleanup is the following:

  • Assessment: The first step in this process is for a biohazard cleanup professional to assess the damage. They create a report that includes the biohazard safety level, the needed damage cleanup, and the time it should take to complete the project. 

  • Setup: The cleanup professional prepares the site to prevent cross-contamination and reduce toxicity risk. This process can include tarping and creating decontamination zones. 

  • Removal of surface contamination: Any contaminated materials are removed from the area, starting with large materials followed by small ones. The professional can assess any floor-related damage once everything is removed from the site. 

  • Salvaging items: The biohazard cleanup professionals assess which items can be saved and which are contaminated beyond the point of saving. Those deemed unsafe will be disposed of immediately. 

  • Waste disposal: The next step is carefully disposing of the hazardous waste. Your professional will place the contaminated items in specific containers to keep the contamination from spreading.   

  • Disinfection: The house will be disinfected and odor-neutralized. Even more minor details, like light switches and bulbs, will be disinfected so that they do not recontaminate the area in the future. 

  • Restoration: Once the decontamination is complete, the last step is to restore the home. This includes repairing the damage to flooring, walls, or even the home's foundation.  

Most homeowner’s insurance policies can help cover the cost of biohazard cleanings for specific events. Biohazard events like unattended death, infectious disease, and medical emergency are generally covered, as are flooring and drywall repairs. It’s best to check with your insurance company to see what is specifically covered.

One of the best ways to prepare for a home biohazard cleanup is not to touch anything. Do not remove belongings, even if they are of value or importance, from the area as they are likely contaminated. It’s essential not to use any cleaning products of your own, as the cleaning company will be using chemicals that could interact with your products. 

One thing you can do to prepare is take pictures of your space and belongings that need to be cleaned, especially if you plan on filing a claim with your insurance company. In addition, take time to make a list of items that are valuable, sentimental, or otherwise important. The cleanup company must evaluate these belongings to make sure they are safe.
