There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe BioOne Philly. To say this company is the best is a gross understatement. Hire them. They really are that fabulous.

Skilled Professionals

Cleaning up after these homeless encampments entails a lot of tricky work. All of which should be done by a professional. Every location, regardless of area, contains biohazardous waste known to carry harmful bacteria:

  • Hypodermic needles
  • Feces, urine, vomit, blood
  • Various debris
  • Rodents, fleas, cockroaches

Our technicians are trained to safely and promptly remediate these scenes. It could be as simple as a tent. Possibly as complex as a large vacant building. Regardless, we have the experience and training necessary to finish the job. Whether it’s under a bridge, in a forest, etc., we’ll be ready. 

These encampments pose huge situations to property owners, especially liability issues. They need to be cleaned and disinfected to avoid that. With 24/7 availability, it’s easy to work with us on encampment problems.

    What our clients say

    decontamination and biohazard cleaning services reviews
    K Bry, Philadelphia, 1/30/2025
    James is one of the most giving and compassionate human beings that I've never met. I say "never" because we only spoke via the telephone. He sanitized my grandmother's home for me after she caught a stomach bug that was contagious to the touch and did it out of the kindness of his heart free of charge. This goes to show there are still honest and trustworthy people in the world. He put my mind at ease and refused any compensation. I recommend him to the fullest extent and thank him tremendously!

    nick pawlow, Philadelphia, 3/1/2025
    I had a major hoarding situation with a deceased family member's house. Besides it being a dangerous environment, there were some serious biohazard issues through out the home. James was wonderful to work with, his compassion and professionalism was truly exceptional. He did the extra mile so that the job would be completed in a timley, safe manner. James did everthing that he promised to do and beyond. The crew was awesome, they were compassionate to my situation, finding missing documents that I needed. They did an incredible job, moving safely, fast and thorough. I highly recommend Bio-One.
