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.

We were referred to Bio-One by a friend, after heavy rains resulted in water and sewage damage to our basement. Our experience with Bio One was excellent. Brian and his team are very professional, did a great job and communicated with us every step of the basement cleanup. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. It was a pleasure to work with Bio-One Chicago North.

Was referred to Brian and Lynn at Bio-One from our insurance agent when we had some water in come in the basement during a heavy rain. They suggested we reach out to them to see if we were developing a mold issue. Brian and Lynn both promptly came out the next business day from my call to them. Good news was we had no mold issue and the cost to us for the on site evaluation was zero. My wife and i were very impressed with their prompt response and thorough evaluation of our situation. They were very professional and personable. Would HIGHLY recommend this team!

Brian and Lynn are an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed to use their services during a very difficult time and their professionalism, compassion and promptness went above and beyond what I would expect. They were very understanding of my situation and did a very thorough job both times that I needed them (for cleaning and then junk removal). I cannot recommend Bio-One enough. I will definitely be referring them to everyone I know.

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's service was amazing. Sadly, my neighbor recently passed away and had been dead for a week. The fire department had to break down his door and the coroner had to remove him, and my condo and our entire tier was overcome with the horrible smell that comes with a situation like that. My neighbor's family was out of town and could not be here for 3 days, so we had to move quickly or our building would have been uninhabitable. I got a crash course in finding a company that did this type of work and the reviews were horrible. The only one I found that was not was Bio-One Chicago North. I called him on Sunday at 1PM. He and his team were here by 3:30PM and went to work. They explained exactly what they were going to do and why and got to the business at hand. They spent over 3 hours here, and removed all of the bio materials-which included tearing up all the carpet and wood flooring-and disposed of them in hazmat bags/boxes that were then taken to a hazardous material company to be destroyed. They also set up a machine that took out the rest of the smell. By the time they left, I didn't have to wear a mask and my neighbor's place smelled normal. This was especially important as my neighbor's family was coming to an already tough situation and Brian's work made at least one part of it easier. Brian even came back for additional maintenance to ensure all the smell was gone and the scene was cleaned up. Brian's excellent: his service, his professionalism, his follow through, his reasonable price. Bio-One Chicago North is now the clean up company for our condo management company and I will definitely call him for other services such as removal of household goods, cleaning, and hauling. I highly recommend Bio-One North. Ken Cherry, Treasurer, Sheridan Court Condo Association.
