Richmond Animal Hoarding Cleanup

Animal hoarding can be hazardous to not only the owners, but the animals as well. This practice leads to a severe drought of sanitation, food, water, medical care, and space. Conditions can become severe and should be treated by professionals.

You called the right 
ones for the job.

Nobody wins when it comes to animal hoarding. It can be a very dangerous situation for both the property owner and the animals themselves.

At Bio-One of Richmond, the safety risks are understood. We aim to provide a healthy and livable environment for anybody who’s been involved. 

Owner Risk

In our experience, the owners are put at great risk by hoarding animals. The danger lies in the fact that they can’t see that. Once the hoarding has started, animals are continually welcomed with no end in sight. The owner tends to neglect their own needs and provide for the animals first. 

Hygiene, food and water are the first to be affected by this practice. Animal waste gets airborne and can directly impact any food and water sources. This animal waste could be coming from:

  • rats
  • dogs
  • cats

Typically, their waste carries bacteria and parasites which are linked to human disease. Thus, tainting food and water available to the owner without their knowledge. 

Animal Risk

Much like owners, the animals in these situations tend to suffer from poor nutrition. It’s not uncommon to die from starvation.

These animals get into fights over territory and are frequently injured. Untreated maladies and mental distress from constantly fighting doesn’t end well. It’s not a good environment for them to be in. 

Cleaning Process

We work closely with the owner to ensure these risks are understood. Once that step has been reached, we continue with our cleaning process:

  1. Any items that have been highly contaminated by animal waste will be removed
  2. Cross-contamination safety protocols will be in place as a precautionary measure
  3. Once removed, the items will be disposed of responsibly

Our professional cleaning crews will be able to transform the impacted area into an unrecognizable utopia. Ultimately, we want to leave the home as good as new. Your comfort and safety is our top priority. 

Community Outreach

At Bio-One of Richmond, we work closely with the Glen Allen, VA community to ensure a safe and clean environment. We strive to make a difference here.

For many years now, we’ve been proud to partner with local authorities, charities and other groups. We offer them the most up to date cleaning methods and techniques to keep our area safe. As the owner, I, Marc Garber, can promise that you’ll receive the best help available from the professionals at Bio-One of Richmond.

I see why Mark has a 5 star rating. I had the pleasure of speaking to him over the phone. I have not used services as of yet as we are not sure of the course of action yet on my part. Mark spent a total of 32 minutes with me on the phone listening to my special situation, called a competitor of his thinking he may be better suited for the job, called me back to follow up for 15 more minutes. With the situation I have many people write others off as crazy or made up in your head, especially doctors, yes doctors of all people. Mark listened and offered suggestions and knew of one former client of his in the same situation. He cares about people in general and has empathy and compassion. In the even that I do need this type of service I will certainly use him and write another review but I felt just this interaction with him speaks volumes. Thank you Mark for being a listening ear and a compassionate caring empathetic human. You didn’t write me off when all others have. I thank you sir!

This company is Qualified, Thorough, and Professional! But what really sold us was their humility and compassion to our situation. We needed a cleanup company during a tragedy and there was no way of getting around it! We consulted with a few companies and Bio-One Richmond was our choice! They talked us through the cleanup process, were sensitive to our needs and alleviated stress. Unfortunately companies take advantage of people in such circumstances- all about the bottom line and no concern for people. Bio-One Richmond was AMAZING! And their estimate was half the cost of the other companies! We highly recommend Bio-One Richmond!!

Amazing to work with. I discovered a terrible hoarding situation with a family member. I discovered Bio-One and gave them a call. Marc was wonderful to work with. We met at the home and he took several hundred photos. Marc came out and we met for an hour and half. He reviewed everything with us in complete detail. I had met with another company which consisted of a walk thru by the foreman and a 3-4 line estimate from the owner. Although considerably lower I opted for Bio -One. Best decision I have made in a long time. His project Chase was extremely caring and professional. He even caught a terrified kitty I couldn't get near. Kitty was my family member's biggest concern. She is being boarded and content.. These folks genuinely care about their clients. I could not have asked for better service than we received. Thanks Bio-One for getting us through this terrible situation........

Marc Garber and the Bio-One team are simply excellent. Marc is a wonderful communicator and problem solver. He brings a wealth of experience to any job. After our initial consultation, where he paid close attention to detail and took numerous photographs, he wrote up a comprehensive and thorough report to guide every step and help us achieve the desired results. Highly recommend!

Bio-One provided excellent service throughout the cleanup process. Mark was responsive to calls and text messages. His crew got in fast in response to a short timeframe on my part, did excellent work, and communicated clearly and often throughout the process. Mark worked hard to try to find the most affordable deal for me, and I definitely thought he and Bio-One went above and beyond to be professional and kind during a difficult period for our family.

At the worst time of my families life, this company made what was anticipated to be the worst thing in the world to do the easiest part of this tragedy. From contacting the company and speaking with Mark to his team everything was handled professionally, with empathy, and respectfully. Chase and Chloe's response at the house was liken to having your friends come help you deal with a terrible situation. They made me feel supported, they were informative and made what I feared to be the worst part of dealing with a suicide the easiest so far. I highly recommend this company that helps you deal with the cleanup as well as other things you just don't know about when someone dies in this manner. I rarely do reviews because it's not often I feel so passionate about something a business has done. This company exceeded my expectations and truly does what no one else ever wants to do. I'm beyond grateful for the as individuals and a company!

From my first contact with Marc everything was done professionally and compassionately. The crew of Chase, Cole, Chris, Sidney and Chloe went above and beyond my expectations. Everyone was willing to make changes as we went along out of compassion and understanding for my sister-in-laws. They even went so far as to try and capture the cat that had gotten into the crawl space under the house. After being with us for 2 weeks we all became friends. They handled the valuables and collectibles with the utmost care. I will have them back this summer for a finally clean out. I can't find the words to express how wonderful an experience we had with this company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars isn't really enough!
