The answer is simple: call a professional biohazard remediation team for help. When calling a professional biohazard cleaning service like Bio-One, you can:
Prevent further trauma
Avoid spreading bloodborne pathogens
Ensure the remediation is completed safely
Expect the job to be done right
Receive help filing an insurance claim
When loved ones or neighbors try to clean up the scene, they are doing it with the best of intentions. But they could also experience emotional trauma from the clean up.
The three most common diseases spread through blood are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. If the person cleaning the scene isn’t properly protected, they could accidentally become infected and not realize it.
Hazardous cleaning requires specialized training, protective equipment, and adherence to OSHA regulations.
Bio-One uses powerful proprietary chemicals and processes and we have the experience to efficiently and thoroughly remediate any location.
Homeowners insurance often covers biohazard remediation. The Bio-One billing team can assist filing and submitting homeowner's insurance claims. If homeowners insurance is available, Bio-One will ask for the following information to begin the claim process:
Name of the insured
The name of the individual on the insurance policy.
Insurance carrier
Business name of the insurance provider.
Policy number
The insurance policy number.
Date of loss
This is the date when the event that caused the damage or loss occurred.

I called them on Thursday oct 7. Matt answered I told him my problem. Which is my moms passing went by graveyard and the tombstone 26 years old looks terrible. Mold mildew moss ect. He said we don’t normally do that service but I’ll have my GM call you and see if we can find someone. I’m about 2 minutes the GM call. Charolette !! She said we don’t do that but I have. I said do you know of anybody. She said I have done it before . I’ll come by and do it tomorrow at 3 pm. The morning of the 8th she sent a text of time arriving a picture of her. She was meeting my 95 year old dad. She showed dad went with her and it looks great.!! Mom passed October 10.

Bio One performed Biohazard remediation and whole home clean out for us at a time of terrible tragedy for our family. Charlotte was so helpful and caring, yet still professional, and efficient. She and her team definitely went above and beyond anything we could’ve expected. I wish I had never needed their services, but I’m so glad they were there when I did need them.

Charlotte was amazing they took particular care in protecting my property and my valuables also because I was very nervous about the experience she was extremely sensitive and took more time than she really had to to make sure I was comfortable with everything that was going on I would recommend this company to anybody I felt completely secure and something about this company just felt right when I made first Contact she even made an extra trip because she had walked off with my key and she brought it back and spent a little one-on-one time reassuring me that everything is fine

I came into possession of my uncle's phone, which happened to have been on his body at the time he passed away. It was a while before they found him, so the phone was expectedly quite contaminated. I wouldn't have known what to do except I had seen some services performed where companies come out and help in situations like this. However, those were always larger jobs in those TikToks. When I called at 8:00 p.m. and explained the situation, the guy on the phone, who turned out to be Matt, was so polite. He squeezed me in his busy schedule and came out and cleaned the phone for me. we were able to recover the SIM cards which is fantastic. He had scheduled to come to my house at 9:00 a.m. and he showed up at 8:57. I was very impressed by his punctuality. While he was cleaning he made sure that he treated the phone with respect, and he did his best, and successfully disinfected and cleaned my uncle's phone. Meanwhile, he definitely helped keep my mind off of the fact that the phone was essentially covered in my uncle's decomposed body, by engaging in light small talk in a way that didn't feel like light small talk. To anyone who has a job big or small, I highly highly highly recommend this company as they sincerely care not just about their business but they care about us as customers. They are super professional, yet highly compassionate. And it's a locally owned business!
