Real Life Example: How We've Helped Columbia Families

Case Study: Columbia Cleanup with Heart and Precision
Columbia, MD
Bio-One of Columbia

Overview

A family in Colombia reached out to us after a violent altercation between two siblings took place in the basement of their home. Overwhelmed by grief and uncertainty, they called us seeking help with the crime scene cleanup. They were devastated and didn’t know what steps to take, so they avoided the entire basement altogether.

How We Helped

We responded quickly and discreetly to assist the family during a painful time.

  • Cleaned and sanitized the area between the siblings’ bedrooms, including carpet, door, and surrounding walls.
  • Respected the family’s emotional needs by creating a separate space where they could indicate from a distance what personal belongings to retain.
  • Used an unmarked vehicle and wore plain clothing to ensure complete discretion.
  • Provided a detailed walkthrough of the process so they understood what to expect.
  • Guided the family through the insurance claim process, helping reduce their stress.
  • Listened attentively to their concerns from the very first call, building immediate trust.

The Outcome

We weren’t the first company they called—but we were the first to truly listen. They told us that our empathy and discretion made all the difference. The family felt supported throughout the process and was especially grateful for how we respected their privacy and helped manage the insurance paperwork. They were able to begin reclaiming the space with peace of mind.

Local Ties

We proudly serve Columbia and surrounding areas, including Ellicott City, Rockville, Silver Spring, and Laurel.

What our clients say

decontamination and biohazard cleaning services reviews
They were able to remove a stain in our car that we had completely given up on ever getting out— we bought a used car which had a deep blood stain, we had the car detailed several times and it was only with their professional work that it was finally cleared. They were incredibly communicative, very sensitive to our situation and handled the entire process with such grace and care.
