Brian and his partner stopped by to inspect our house after a smell of mold. Within 10 minutes they were able to locate the source and put a plan of action together. Great customer service!

Brian and Lynn are an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed to use their services during a very difficult time and their professionalism, compassion and promptness went above and beyond what I would expect. They were very understanding of my situation and did a very thorough job both times that I needed them (for cleaning and then junk removal). I cannot recommend Bio-One enough. I will definitely be referring them to everyone I know.

Was referred to Brian and Lynn at Bio-One from our insurance agent when we had some water in come in the basement during a heavy rain. They suggested we reach out to them to see if we were developing a mold issue. Brian and Lynn both promptly came out the next business day from my call to them. Good news was we had no mold issue and the cost to us for the on site evaluation was zero. My wife and i were very impressed with their prompt response and thorough evaluation of our situation. They were very professional and personable. Would HIGHLY recommend this team!

We were referred to Bio-One by a friend, after heavy rains resulted in water and sewage damage to our basement. Our experience with Bio One was excellent. Brian and his team are very professional, did a great job and communicated with us every step of the basement cleanup. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. It was a pleasure to work with Bio-One Chicago North.

Brian and his team's service was amazing. Sadly, my neighbor recently passed away and had been dead for a week. The fire department had to break down his door and the coroner had to remove him, and my condo and our entire tier was overcome with the horrible smell that comes with a situation like that. My neighbor's family was out of town and could not be here for 3 days, so we had to move quickly or our building would have been uninhabitable. I got a crash course in finding a company that did this type of work and the reviews were horrible. The only one I found that was not was Bio-One Chicago North. I called him on Sunday at 1PM. He and his team were here by 3:30PM and went to work. They explained exactly what they were going to do and why and got to the business at hand. They spent over 3 hours here, and removed all of the bio materials-which included tearing up all the carpet and wood flooring-and disposed of them in hazmat bags/boxes that were then taken to a hazardous material company to be destroyed. They also set up a machine that took out the rest of the smell. By the time they left, I didn't have to wear a mask and my neighbor's place smelled normal. This was especially important as my neighbor's family was coming to an already tough situation and Brian's work made at least one part of it easier. Brian even came back for additional maintenance to ensure all the smell was gone and the scene was cleaned up. Brian's excellent: his service, his professionalism, his follow through, his reasonable price. Bio-One Chicago North is now the clean up company for our condo management company and I will definitely call him for other services such as removal of household goods, cleaning, and hauling. I highly recommend Bio-One North. Ken Cherry, Treasurer, Sheridan Court Condo Association.

Brian was BEYOND professional, efficient and friendly. Reached out to other companies that wanted extortionate amounts of money and were nowhere near as professional and upfront as Brian. Would highly recommend. We used him for our company's needs and he was exceptional!!

Brian from Bio-One is exceptional, professional, and kind. We appreciate the hard work they did for us. I highly recommend this service to anyone in need.

Brian and his team helped my family take care of a tough cleaning job during a medical emergency. Brian was so kind, understanding, and quick to respond. The price he quoted us was far more affordable than other companies we had look at the place. Him and his team were super hard working and did a great job! Thank you Brian and co for all your hard work!
