COMPASSION. EXPERIENCE. RESPECT.

We Clean Tough Situations: Providence crime scene death and suicide cleanup services

Tough moments need more than cleanup. They need care. We help families in Providence and surrounding areas through situations no one should face alone—unattended deaths, suicides, crime scenes, hoarding, and other biohazards.

You're not going to go through it alone. We're going to be here. From the first call to the final walkthrough, we'll take as much of the burden off your plate as we can.

  • Fast, compassionate response—day or night.
  • We offer an unmarked vehicle if privacy matters.
  • We'll handle the insurance so you don’t have to.
  • Locally owned by a firefighter-paramedic who truly cares.

Let us carry the hard part. We’ll handle the cleanup so you can focus on what matters most.

    Your Local Cleanup Partner

    Here in Rhode Island, this work is personal.

    I was born in Pawtucket, went to elementary school there, and my brother graduated from Shea High. I became a firefighter-paramedic to serve, and Bio-One allows me to continue showing up for people when they need it most.

    You won’t get a call center. You’ll get me, or Dave—someone who cares and knows what to do.

     

    Bio-One Providence

    Bruce Ballard is the owner of Bio-One of Boston and Bio-One of Providence. Bruce grew up locally, playing sports and constantly engaged in his father's church. Bruce is a graduate of Bridgewater State University with a degree in Exercise Science. Bruce has always had a passion for helping people. Immediately after college, Bruce threw himself into the fitness community to help people become healthier and improve their quality of life. Since then, Bruce has invested himself in the public sector, earning his National Paramedic license and becoming a Firefighter/Paramedic in a local community. With the assistance of his wife, Nicolette, Bruce looks to continue his life passion of helping those in their most dreaded time of need.

    I’m a firefighter-paramedic. I’ve been in the fire service for almost 10 years. I chose Bio-One of Providence because I wanted to continue serving the community, showing up for people when they need it most, not just when they dial 911.

    I was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island—raised right in the middle of it all. My brother graduated from Shea High. I still know those neighborhoods street by street. Helping here means something personal. This business lets me take that mission a step further.

    We do more than clean. We help people rebuild their lives. If you're facing something overwhelming, we’ll be right there with you.

    You won't be getting a call center. When you call Bio-One of Providence, you get me or Dave. Someone who cares and knows what to do.

    We’ll ask a few questions—whatever you're comfortable answering—and develop a response plan tailored to your needs. We walk you through it, talk you through it, and take the ride with you.

    If needed, we can coordinate with the police or fire department. We’ll arrive quickly—sometimes in as little as two hours—and we won't give you a cable company's typical window. You’ll get a real time, and we’ll be there.

    From the first call through cleanup and insurance, we handle it so you don’t have to.

    We only engage with the people who want to be involved with—and only to the point they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a hoarding situation, odor removal, or a suicide cleanup, privacy is always a top concern.

    We never post identifiable photos. There are no clients, no names, nothing recognizable in any of our documentation. Even if we need to show a before-and-after, you’d have a hard time recognizing the space, even if it were your own.

    This work requires trust. It doesn’t do us any good if you don’t trust us. We protect that trust at every step.

    One client I’ll never forget was a woman helping her mother after the home was condemned. It was three full floors—raccoons, rodents, trash, top to bottom.

    We were there for a month and a half. Every day, she was with us—we did a daily race to make sure we didn't throw out anything that mattered.

    By the end, we were like family. We’d finish the day, go out to dinner, and discuss what we'd found. She sent us Christmas cards for years. She told us we had to keep her recommendation letter forever.

    That’s what this work can be—more than a job, it’s a connection—a turning point.

     

    The right people make all the difference.

    We hold a very high standard for respect, dignity, and integrity, right down to our newest recruits. Everyone on the team is trained well beyond industry minimums, and if you even blink the wrong direction toward a client, you're gone.

    Calling us usually means something difficult just happened. That’s why we bring more than just training—we bring empathy, direct answers, and the kind of presence people need in that moment.

    • Certified hazmat technicians and OSHA-trained crew.
    • Estimates that are clear, honest, and in person.
    • Private, respectful, judgment-free service.
    • Led by a firefighter-paramedic who shows up.

    We’re respectful people, and we show up to work every day.

    Frequently asked questions

    What types of situations does Bio-One handle?
    We handle just about anything the general public finds gross or unbecoming. That includes suicides, unattended deaths, hoarding, drug-related hazards, rodent droppings, and more. We’re trained to manage complex, sensitive, and high-risk environments safely and thoroughly.
    Are you really available 24/7?
    We respond to calls and texts immediately—any time, day or night. You won’t get a call center. You’ll get me or Dave—someone who actually cares and knows what to do.
    Will my information be kept private?
    We only engage with people who want to be involved, and only to the extent they’re comfortable with. We also offer an unmarked vehicle if requested and take every step to protect your identity.
    How quickly can you arrive?
    Typically, a crew can be on scene in about 2 hours, depending on the time of day and traffic. We prioritize speed, especially when the situation is urgent or traumatic.
    Do you work with insurance?
    Absolutely. We deal with the insurance, the adjusters, all of it—so you don’t have to. We can even file claims on your behalf and provide all the necessary documentation.
    What happens when I call Bio-One?
    We walk you through it, talk you through it, and take the ride with you. We ask for only the details you’re comfortable sharing, then build a plan that works for your situation.
    Is your team trained for hazardous cleanup?
    Yes. Everyone is expected to hold OSHA 30 and bloodborne pathogen certifications. Most of our crew also holds Level A Hazmat training and has years of experience handling hazardous materials.
    Do I have to be home during the cleanup?
    No. We’ll take photos, document everything, and can walk you through it remotely if needed. You’re welcome to be present, but it’s entirely up to you.
    How long does cleanup usually take?
    It depends. We don’t know what we don’t know until we get into the space. Some jobs take hours. Others may take days, especially if we discover hidden damage. We always keep you updated.
    Why should I trust Bio-One of Providence?
    We're trained far above and beyond what we'll be called for. But more than that, we genuinely care. Whether or not you choose us, our goal is to help in any way we can—even if it’s just with information.
