What our clients say

decontamination and biohazard cleaning services reviews
Marvin Presnall, South Sound, 11/2024
I recently hired Bio-One of South Sound for remediation service on a long-overdue garage clean-up and to address a mouse infestation, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, Tim and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They conducted a thorough assessment of the space and developed a clear plan tailored to my needs. Their attention to detail in organizing and decluttering was impressive; they transformed my chaotic garage into a clean and functional storage area. As for the mouse infestation, they tackled the problem with expertise. They vacuumed up the nest and droppings, disinfected contaminated items and surfaces, and took the time to educate me on preventative measures to keep my garage critter-free in the future. The entire process was seamless, and the team worked efficiently without cutting corners. I truly appreciate their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. If you're facing a similar issue, I highly recommend their services!
