Rick Nesselhauf, founder of Dutch's Mold Inspections and Dutch's Home Inspections, has been in the Cleveland-area building industry since the late 1960s and has been performing home and property inspections since the late 1970s. Rick passed the National Home Inspectors Test and takes over 30 hours of continuing education classes each year to stay up to date with new technology and protocols in the mold and indoor air industry. He has earned 8 certifications in Indoor Air, Mold, Allergens, and Remediation, achieving the designation of Master Indoor Environmental Specialist. Rick is also a HUD-approved contractor for mold remediation and mold inspections. In addition to mold remediation, Dutch’s has an excellent track record working with hoarders and their families, as well as cleaning and sanitizing distressed homes. We do not sell any products or “snake oil” remedies. Although capable, we only perform restoration work on a very limited basis, and we are always happy to refer trusted contractors to meet your remodeling needs. For the past nine years, I, Mark Zimerla, have worked alongside Rick, bringing my background in residential and commercial renovations and builds to the company. My experience in construction since 1997—including running my own home remodeling business for over a decade—has allowed me to expand our services and maintain the high standards Rick established. I am now taking over the business to continue his legacy, values, and dedication to quality service. Rick will remain on as our lead tester and lead consultant, ensuring his decades of expertise continue to benefit our customers. Please give us a call today for a no-hassle estimate and consultation at 440-748-4660.

"Went very well and would definitely recommend this company. Thorough, explained every aspect of the job and how to prevent future problems. Project manager on site, all employees pleasant, worked as a team, contained the problem and were readily available for questions, concerns. Work was done on schedule and communication was excellent. I can’t say enough about how great they were. It was a big job and they did what they said they’d do and did it very well. No mess to clean up"

Having participated in a research grant through HUD, SafeHouse helped 30 families whose children suffered chronic illness to what was eventually linked to “water damage” not properly mitigated. Let SafeHouse be the first team to respond to mitigate conditions linked to the health effects and deterioration of building materials. Specializing in wind, water and mold damage remediation and restoring your property call us today. Let us show you the difference in what other typical water cleanup companies do making it look like it never happened, as compared to what SafeHouse has been doing to ensure the health and safety of those you care for. Residential, commercial and industrial properties SafeHouse offers the most comprehensive skilled team of certified water mitigation and licensed IEP, indoor environmental testing and professional mold remediation and asbestos abatement services as well as restoration, reconstruction and remodeling solutions. In offices, hotel rooms, apartments, assisted living, medical facilities, public and government buildings to residential homes and investment properties first we’ll track the damage, diagnose the conditions causing the problem at your property and restore it to a pre-loss or “better improved condition.” Call or click to schedule a free consultation with our licensed wind, water damage and mold experts so SafeHouse can get started discussing your situation and project goals. Water damage response, mold prevention and remediation, roof repair and replacements, attic services, drywall finishing, painting, cabinets, flooring replacement let us help you whether this is an insured loss or not. We pride ourselves on the fact that we work for you, not your insurance company. We provide quality work to return you to a pre-loss SafeHouse condition while offering the opportunity for you to have us completely remodel your kitchen, bathrooms, basements or build you that staircase or bookshelves you’ve always wanted.

"Safehouse Solutions did extensive work on my entire home from which they had to remove drywall from the ceilings and walls. They did a poor job of covering my belongings (see pictures). Things had to be moved multiple times but should have been recovered. They did not cover floors properly either (see pictures). The workers worked only a few hours a day (even though I left the house vacant for them). Neither Nancy or Michael were aware of the lack of progress until I informed them. This was near the deadline for my project. I was never given a estimate from the painter. Nancy only told me how much he was charging but never gave me a written estimate. The texture to my ceilings was not the correct one I requested. When they removed shelves and pictures from walls they did not keep the screws with the items for rehanging. Two of the bedroom ceilings are horribly redone (picture). Nancy told me "that's the best they could do with the texture" and then told me if I wanted it fixed properly I would need a drop ceiling and that would be an additional cost to me. I had a contractor out to evaluate and he stated it could be fixed. Nancy than denied saying she ever said that to me. I had many questions and concerns which she was supposed to address with me but would not. Nancy often contradicts herself. Both Michael and Nancy talk over you when you have concerns. Her painters painted over dust on walls and doors. The paint in one of the rooms has oil streaks in it from not being stirred prior to painting. Also a month later the paint in one room is beginning to chip. The team was supposed to place all furniture back to the original spot/room but they failed to do that in my living and dining rooms. They left several sheets of drywall in my home for days and drywall mud/sand and paint in my garage for 3 weeks. She sent me a bill even though these items were still in my garage. How could my bill have been accurate when all the product was at my house. I never got any compensation for storing these items for her or even an apology for the inconvenience. Nancy does not accept accountability for the mistakes that her team has made. She just keeps sending you a reminder to pay the bill. I also got headaches, frustration and felt most of my concerns were ignored by Safehouse solutions."

FAQs for biohazard remediation projects in Westfield Center, OH

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.
