What It’s Like to Work With Bio-One

Every cleanup starts with compassion—and ends when you say it’s done. This is your space, your timeline, your comfort level. We’re just here to help however we can.

Here’s what to expect:

 

We begin with a private conversation—on your terms. Whether you’re calling for yourself or a loved one, we listen first. Then we assess the space (in person or through photos) and provide a precise, detailed estimate with no pressure and no surprises. We’ll talk through every option, step by step, so you’re never in the dark.

We carefully sort, clean, and remove items according to your goals. That may mean saving keepsakes, disposing of hazardous materials, or organizing what stays. Safety and discretion are always top priorities. You can be as involved—or hands-off—as you want to be.

Once clutter is removed, we deep clean and disinfect surfaces so the home feels livable again. From odors to biohazards to forgotten corners, we work until the space feels safe, functional, and dignified. It’s not just about cleaning—it’s about helping people feel at home again.

We help navigate insurance when applicable, from documentation to direct communication with adjusters. You won’t be left to sort it out alone. We deal with the paperwork so you can focus on moving forward.

From hoarding situations to unattended deaths and crime scene cleanup, we support you through the entire process. Whether you need referrals, a return visit, or just someone to check in, we keep the door open, no matter when you call. You’ll never hear us say “that’s not our job.” If you need something, we’ll find a way to help.

We don’t consider the job done until you feel it’s complete.

You’ll always know what’s included, what’s next, and how to reach us.

    Biohazard messes are dangerous.

    When it comes to cleaning up biohazards, going it alone can be a risky endeavor. Blood, bodily fluids, and other hazardous materials carry germs that can spread quickly, and some can be life-threatening. Without training, you may miss something or make the situation worse.

    Here’s why it’s safer to let Bio-One of Columbia certified professionals take care of it:

    • Biohazards can make you sick if you’re not trained to handle them.
    • Germs spread fast, and some can be life-threatening.
    • Without the right gear, cleaners, and training, you’re at serious risk.

    We’re available 24/7 because these moments can’t wait. We follow OSHA regulations, wear proper protective equipment, and use specialized tools to clean and disinfect each space with precision. Every step we take is about protecting your health and restoring peace of mind.

    • Our crews are fast, experienced, and always discreet.
    • We take great care with personal items that matter to you.
    • When we’re done, your space will be safe and ready for what comes next.

    Every situation is different, and we treat each one with the care it deserves—whether it's a home, vehicle, or business. We’re not just following a checklist—we’re here to help you through it.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is biohazard cleanup?
    Biohazard cleanup involves the safe removal, cleaning, and disinfection of areas contaminated by potentially hazardous biological materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, human or animal waste, and other similar substances. It’s a detailed process that helps restore safety to the space.
    What situations require professional help?
    Typical scenarios include crime scenes, trauma, unattended deaths, suicide, hoarding, sewage backups, mold, drug residue, and rodent infestations. If there's any biological risk, we’re the ones to call.
    Is biohazard cleanup dangerous?
    Yes. Bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, mold, and toxic residues can pose serious health risks if not handled properly. Bio-One’s technicians are trained, certified, and equipped to manage these risks safely.
    Can I clean up a biohazard myself?
    We strongly advise against it. Without the proper training and protective gear, you risk exposure to infectious diseases and hazardous materials. It’s not worth the risk—we’re here to do it safely and completely.
    How quickly can Bio-One respond?
    We’re available 24/7, and our local team can often arrive the same day. Even if we’re on another job, you’ll hear back from us fast. A quick, compassionate response is key in urgent situations.
    Will your team be discreet?
    Yes. We arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly, and treat your home or business with care and respect. We “slide in and slide out” without drawing attention—your privacy always comes first.
    How do you make sure the area is entirely safe?
    We follow OSHA and EPA guidelines, using hospital-grade cleaners and specialized tools. We disinfect all surfaces, remove contaminated materials, and inspect for potential health risks such as mold or unpleasant odors.
    Do you remove items that can’t be cleaned?
    Yes. If certain materials (like carpeting or furniture) are too contaminated to sanitize, we’ll safely remove and dispose of them as part of the service.
    Can you help with insurance?
    Absolutely. We’ll help document the situation and work directly with your insurance provider whenever possible to help ease the burden. We handle the details so you don’t have to.
    What makes Bio-One different?
    This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Biohazard cleanup isn’t just a technical service—it’s personal. Our "Help First, Business Second" approach means we arrive with compassion, listen attentively, and support you in moving forward at your own pace.
