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. 

Compassion. Experience. Respect.

Community Plan

With the increasing number of encampments, it’s becoming more common for us to receive jobs of this nature. Partnering with our local authorities and other organizations, we’re able to complete the job and ensure community safety. There’s no job too small, or too big, once we’re on the case. 

We’ve been a part of the Steilacoom, WA community for many years now and are proud to help keep it clean and safe. We strive to make a difference in your lives. We truly care. As the owner of this business, I, Tim Bruhn, can promise that you’ll receive the best help available from the professionals at Bio-One of South Sound.

We respond 24/7.

    Homeless encampments are set up all over the United States and unfortunately they pose a liability to property owners. These encampments can be seen wherever space is available - vacant buildings, forests, under bridges. As the number of homeless encampments increases, so does the need for encampment cleanup. Encampments often contain biohazards such as hypodermic needles, feces, blood, urine, vomit, various debris, and pests including rodents, fleas and cockroaches. Don’t risk exposing your employees or crews to infection.

    From an individual temporarily residing in a tent to large encampments in vacant buildings, these cleanups need to be handled by professionals equipped with proper training and personal protective equipment. Leave it to Bio-One of South Sound, where our technicians are trained to safely remove and clean up contaminated items, and properly dispose of biohazards such as sharps needles.

    What our clients say

    decontamination and biohazard cleaning services reviews
    Kaitlynne W., South Sound, 09/2025
    My grandma and I recently hired Bio-One to help us clear out some rooms we were overwhelmed by. This is something we've put off for a while out of embarrassment but making the choice to reach out and get help from Bio-One and the people who work there was worth letting others see our embarrassment. Jillian, Ian and Tim were all absolutely wonderful to work with and were all incredibly understanding and kind throughout a very emotional process. The help they've given us has been genuinely life changing, words cannot express how grateful we are and how amazing everyone was through the whole process.

    When you read this review, don't think of it as a normal review, that people casually post. Please view this as a heartfelt thank you and as true and honest endorsement for Tim, Bio-One, and his team. We are truly grateful for the top notch service that Tim and his team provided for us in our time of need. Not only did he call us back right away, he squeezed time into his already busy schedule to take a look at the job and give full assessment with a fair and accurate quoted price. Once we agreed to move forward with the quoted service, it was scheduled and taken care of without any issues the next day. You are probably thinking at this point that this sounds pretty standard. Well let me assure you it was not by any means standard. At every interaction Tim, Bio-One, and his team went far above and beyond at each step. On top of that, the caring, compassion, and true field experience really shines through in all that they do. You can really tell that they are here to help you, truly care, view you as a customer yes, but more than that, as a human and not a number or just another job. Honestly I could go on and on but I think you get the point. For all of these reasons we will never use any other company than BIO-ONE, and give the highest of thanks and praises from our family to their family. :) If anyone needs a reference I would be happy to provide it, please reach out. Until then don't trust anyone but BIO-ONE! Thank you Tim and the Bio-One Team!
