Glossary

Biohazard - Any type of biological waste or biological agent, such as a virus, that can be a threat to humans.

Continuous exposure to biohazards, if not properly removed, can lead to long term adverse health effects.

Biohazardous Agent - A biological agent or condition (an infectious organism or insecure laboratory procedures) that is a hazard to humans or the environment.

Biohazard Remediation - The cleanup and disinfection of any biohazard situation: hoarding, commercial or industrial accidents, chemical spills, contamination scenarios. 

Biological Waste - Any material that contains or has been contaminated by a biohazardous agent.

Crime Scene Cleanup - Cleanup and disinfection of blood, other bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials from a crime scene. (OPIM)

Cleanup Operation - When hazardous substances are removed, confined, stabilized, or in any other manner taken care of; the end goal being to make the scene safer for people or the environment.

Decontamination - The removal of hazardous substances to avoid or minimize potential dangerous health effects. 

Hazardous Materials Response (HAZMAT) - An organized group of trained professionals who handle and control hazardous substances; quite often, requiring very close proximity to the substance.

We hired Bio-One of DSM for an extensive home trash out, and I couldn't have been happier with the work they did. They were thorough, detail-oriented, understanding and also kind. I received estimates from two similar services in the DSM metro. Bio-One was slightly more, but they were absolutely worth every penny and they went above and beyond. Working with the crew from Bio-One made a really tough situation for our family so much easier, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.

After a death in our family we needed crime scene clean up services. Bio-One was very helpful, answering my questions and working with me to get us in the schedule asap even though it was Christmas week. The cleaners were very thorough and kind. They came in an unmarked truck so that the neighbors wouldn't know what was going on. Their services were covered by home insurance. If you are ever in this unfortunate situation, I highly recommend using them.

Joel Akers conducted an onsite review of the scope of work and provided an estimate to completely clean out three houses and six garages in a small community in Northern Iowa. A collaborative agreement was reached and Joel and team started work approximately a month later. The scope of work was accomplished in five days. The team worked steadily at the job and were professional and friendly. Joel arranged all large dumpsters needed for the job. Basic cleanup was accomplished at each work site. Each day they had us review certain items per our criteria to determine whether to hold or dispose. The volume of work accomplished was significant. I recommend Bio One; they are easy to talk to and work with!

My wife and I feel very blessed we found Bio one. They took the time to listen what we needed done and offered some ideas that we over looked. They didn't judge the situation we were in. The crew was very friendly, professional and cared about the job we needed done. I definitely recommend BIO ONE.

I would highly recommend Bio-One Cleanup. I had a home that was in very bad shape and would have taken me months to cleanup. In one day that had everything out of the house and made my job so much easier. Joel and his entire staff were very professional during the job. They always made sure if they found something that may interest me to let me know before they discarded anything. Joel and his crew are excellent!!

after making the call It was suggested that I refer to Joel as my friend when convincing a relative to have their home cleaned out after many years of hoarding. “My friend” Joel coached me thru an overwhelming situation. Joel and his team were wonderful to work with. Bio-One’s kindness and professional expertise got my family thru quite an ordeal. My family member has a healthy living situation now thanks to my trusted friend.
