Foul odors can be more than a nuisance; they can disrupt your comfort, affect your health, and be a source of embarrassment. Bio-One of Chicago North...
Brian was super quick to respond--within a few hours of receiving my email he was out to take a look and make an estimate. He was prompt the following day and completed the work needed, which took him just a couple of hours. I can't say enough about his professionalism. Highly recommended. I'm sure with the storm recently he'll be in high demand, but worth it.

I had an exceptional positive experience with Bio-One. The owners are very nice and were quick to respond to a bad situation. They were very professional and did a stellar job! They worked with me to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company.

I highly recommend 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 the owner Brian Martin 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 C., Treasurer, Sheridan Court Condo Association.

Brian and his team are amazing. They are so easy to work with, and they do exceptional work. Our basement was flooded with sewage, they came out (on time) and they were so professional. They finished the job in the exact time frame they said they would. The basement looks better than it did even before the issue. I highly recommend Bio-One of Chicago North. I will be passing their name along to everyone I know.
Mary Maroulis, Cook County, 03/2024
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.
