Recently our family discovered an elderly family member had fallen ill and upon our discovery found that his apartment had become a toxic environment. Our first initial concern was to immediately get him to the hospital. However the next day we were faced with the reality that his apartment was a hazard and needed professionals to safely clean the apartment. We found Bio-One and they responded that day, started the process and were so understanding of what our family was facing. Finding Bio-One was a God send. They are truly professional. None of us wish that you will ever need their service, but if you do, call Bio-One.

Lynn and Brian went above and beyond with the job I had for them at the Apollo Theater in Lincoln Park. They not only dealt with the delicate situation with expertise, but also with a kindness and humanity that I greatly appreciated. The work they did was prompt and thorough, and the cost of the job was well-priced. I don't often need a biohazard clean up team, but if I ever need one again, there is no doubt in my mind that I will reach out to Lynn and Brian. Recommend.

Brian and Lynn are reliable, very prompt, communicative, and empathetic. I have worked with them on two separate situations, one involving a dear friend and a multiple home situation. Another situation involved a hoarding tenant. Both times they have been extremely professional and made me feel like our case was solitary focus. They provided detailed reports on end of day and mid day for these bigger jobs and always locked up and communicated about check in and check out of the spaces. In both situations, they listened and learned about the folks with whom they were working to provide search and hold services for specific items. They still hold a weekly appointment longterm to help organize and let go of items in the larger of the two situations mentioned above. In this longer term job, they provide consideration in the items being sorted and removed, discretion, and real care for the person with whom they are working. It was a difficult and very lucky day the day I first called Bio-One. It is a relationship I feel incredibly privileged to continue.

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 are professional, compassionate, reassuring, and excellent at clean-ups. Because of them, I woke up in a clean house today. They live to help people, and they change lives for the better. Don't be afraid to call them when you need help -- truly compassionate help is found here. I am so thankful for them.

Brian and his team did an amazing job! Brian was kind and considerate and put my fears at ease when he came to review the situation and give me an estimate. His team returned the next day and completed the project professionally and respectfully. His pricing was both competitive and reflective of my situation. I will be recommending their services to all my friends. I will use them again if the need ever arises. Thank you so much for your care and professionalism.

Bio-One Chicago North is trustworthy and I highly recommend their services. They made an unpleasant incident with my Mom with Alzheimer’s turn out to be bearable. They came to our house, the same day, assessed the situation and got to work. They were so understanding and professional.
