When tragedy, trauma, or an unexpected event turns your world upside down, cleanup is often the last thing on your mind. Yet someone has to handle it...
Amazing to work with. I discovered a terrible hoarding situation with a family member. I discovered Bio-One and gave them a call. Marc was wonderful to work with. We met at the home and he took several hundred photos. Marc came out and we met for an hour and half. He reviewed everything with us in complete detail. I had met with another company which consisted of a walk thru by the foreman and a 3-4 line estimate from the owner. Although considerably lower I opted for Bio -One. Best decision I have made in a long time. His project Chase was extremely caring and professional. He even caught a terrified kitty I couldn't get near. Kitty was my family member's biggest concern. She is being boarded and content.. These folks genuinely care about their clients. I could not have asked for better service than we received. Thanks Bio-One for getting us through this terrible situation........

I had a lot of rodent waste in my attic and knee walls under dormers. I called Bio One Richmond and Marc and Chase came to do the inspection and estimate. They both have a great personality and we’re very professional. Chase headed up the work and did a fantastic job. I was so impressed with his easy going personality and his work ethic. He had to remove lots of waste and insulation, spray, paint, reinstall insulation and plug gaps in the eaves in an extremely hot attic. He never once complained. His work was very neat and he cleaned up behind himself. I didn’t have to do a thing! And, on his way out he removed a fallen tree that was on my gate. He is the supervisor and sets a great example for his employees. I am so appreciative of a job well done! I highly recommend this company! I am a very happy customer!

Mark and his crew were incredibly professional and thorough, and under very difficult and sensitive circumstances. I generally do not leave reviews, but I feel that strongly about how helpful they were and I want others to know as well. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.

I just used Bio-One Richmond to help me with "Overwhelming Clutter". Marc responded immediately, gave me an estimate, and set up a scheduled time. The team members (1 to 4 of them) showed up daily on-time and ready to work. Chase lead the group and set up a daily plan with me. He and Chase 2.0 and Elliot and Sidny were efficient, effective and respectful as they listened to my requets, filled 2 large dumpster loads, delivered donations and cleaned the garage, the attic, and every room. Great crew! I highly recommend them!

Marc goes above and beyond in his assessment of your needs, even if you end up not needing his company. Between a phone consultation and on-site visit, he spent at least two hours examining our previous house for rodent activity. He thoroughly examined every room, including climbing around our attic and through the crawlspace, taking detailed photos/notes to explain his findings. I felt more than comfortable with the results after discussing everything with Marc, and truly appreciate the time he spent on someone who wasn't even a paying customer.

Two weeks ago a family friend fell upstairs and died from a head wound. It was a bit of a horrific situation. Marc and Chase came over immediately (even on a Saturday night) to remove the hazardous stuff and remove the floor. They guided me through the process and also worked with us on a very fair price. They are fantastic and I recommend them very much

Marc Garber and the Bio-One team are simply excellent. Marc is a wonderful communicator and problem solver. He brings a wealth of experience to any job. After our initial consultation, where he paid close attention to detail and took numerous photographs, he wrote up a comprehensive and thorough report to guide every step and help us achieve the desired results. Highly recommend!
