Chicago North Animal Hoarding Cleanup

Animal hoarding can be hazardous to not only the owners, but the animals as well. This practice leads to a severe drought of sanitation, food, water, medical care, and space. Conditions can become severe and should be treated by professionals.

You called the right 
ones for the job.

Nobody wins when it comes to animal hoarding. It can be a very dangerous situation for both the property owner and the animals themselves.

At Bio-One of Chicago North, the safety risks are understood. We aim to provide a healthy and livable environment for anybody who’s been involved. 

Owner Risk

In our experience, the owners are put at great risk by hoarding animals. The danger lies in the fact that they can’t see that. Once the hoarding has started, animals are continually welcomed with no end in sight. The owner tends to neglect their own needs and provide for the animals first. 

Hygiene, food and water are the first to be affected by this practice. Animal waste gets airborne and can directly impact any food and water sources. This animal waste could be coming from:

  • rats
  • dogs
  • cats

Typically, their waste carries bacteria and parasites which are linked to human disease. Thus, tainting food and water available to the owner without their knowledge. 

Animal Risk

Much like owners, the animals in these situations tend to suffer from poor nutrition. It’s not uncommon to die from starvation.

These animals get into fights over territory and are frequently injured. Untreated maladies and mental distress from constantly fighting doesn’t end well. It’s not a good environment for them to be in. 

Cleaning Process

We work closely with the owner to ensure these risks are understood. Once that step has been reached, we continue with our cleaning process:

  1. Any items that have been highly contaminated by animal waste will be removed
  2. Cross-contamination safety protocols will be in place as a precautionary measure
  3. Once removed, the items will be disposed of responsibly

Our professional cleaning crews will be able to transform the impacted area into an unrecognizable utopia. Ultimately, we want to leave the home as good as new. Your comfort and safety is our top priority. 

Community Outreach

At Bio-One of Chicago North, we work closely with the Chicago, IL community to ensure a safe and clean environment. We strive to make a difference here.

For many years now, we’ve been proud to partner with local authorities, charities and other groups. We offer them the most up to date cleaning methods and techniques to keep our area safe. As the owner, I, Brian & Lynn Martin, can promise that you’ll receive the best help available from the professionals at Bio-One of Chicago North.

They live to help people, and they change lives for the better. Don't be afraid to call them when you need help -- truly compassionate help is found here. I am so thankful for them.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Brian and his staff. They first explained to us on a phone call what they would do and how they operate. Thus, we hired them, and they performed better than expected. We appreciate how they divide items between what could be donated to Habitat for Humanity and what was junk. There are also items, such as bikes, that are sent to other destinations to be rehabbed and donated. They have a nice network of companies that can benefit from other people's left-over items. They are very caring in pointing out items that could have sentimental value and allowing us to review them before they are junked. They are incredible efficient in dividing items when loading them on the truck to get to the best destination. All employees we encountered were very friendly and congenial. Getting our house cleared out was a large load off of our mind. Also, we believe the price paid was very equitable.

Bio-One Chicago North is trustworthy and I highly recommend their services. They made an unpleasant incident with my Mom with Alzheimer’s turn out to be bearable. They came to our house, the same day, assessed the situation and got to work. They were so understanding and professional.

Brian and his team helped my family take care of a tough cleaning job during a medical emergency. Brian was so kind, understanding, and quick to respond. The price he quoted us was far more affordable than other companies we had look at the place. Him and his team were super hard working and did a great job! Thank you Brian and co for all your hard work!

We retained Bio One to remove some furniture before my mother's house was sold. Brian came to the house promptly to review what needed to be moved and provide us with an estimate. We liked that Bio One has typical business insurance coverages in place. Some competitors are run more like side gigs without such protections. We also liked that Bio One would deliver anything in condition to donate to Habitat for Humanity. Some competitors will often pitch much of what they pick up and can't find someone to buy/take from them. Brian and his team clearly have moved furniture many times before, and were very effective and professional in clearing the house. We had 1-2 challenging pieces they figured out how to move cleanly. They kept us advised throughout the process and finished well within the time estimates they provided. The pricing seems comparable and competitive with other doing similar work. They also are very personable and easy to work with. My brother decided to keep a bookcase. Bio One had a job the next day near where he lives; Brian and his wife delivered the bookcase to my brother at no additional charge. We would use Bio One again for similar work, and will recommend them to friends and family.

Brian and Lynn are reliable, very prompt, communicative, and empathetic. I have worked with them on two separate situations, one involving a dear friend and a multiple home situation. Another situation involved a hoarding tenant. Both times they have been extremely professional and made me feel like our case was solitary focus. They provided detailed reports on end of day and mid day for these bigger jobs and always locked up and communicated about check in and check out of the spaces. In both situations, they listened and learned about the folks with whom they were working to provide search and hold services for specific items. They still hold a weekly appointment longterm to help organize and let go of items in the larger of the two situations mentioned above. In this longer term job, they provide consideration in the items being sorted and removed, discretion, and real care for the person with whom they are working. It was a difficult and very lucky day the day I first called Bio-One. It is a relationship I feel incredibly privileged to continue.

Brian and his team are amazing. They are so easy to work with, and they do exceptional work. Our basement was flooded with sewage, they came out (on time) and they were so professional. They finished the job in the exact time frame they said they would. The basement looks better than it did even before the issue. I highly recommend Bio-One of Chicago North. I will be passing their name along to everyone I know.

Brian and Dominic are professional, honest, and a hardworking team. We had to have my parents home cleaned out to sell in Niles. They were able to put us on the calendar within a week and the personal responsiveness and follow up was exceptional. Happy to recommend this team to anyone that needs a clean out! Thanks, Judy
