They were all so understanding, professional, and kind in what can often be an embarrassing situation. I never felt pushed to get rid of things I didn't want to part with, and they really helped me clear out the chaos I was living in. I cannot thank them enough and am so incredibly grateful. I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin, and I could NOT have done it without them. They went above and beyond, all without changing my fee. I could go on, just cannot say enough about how they helped me - physically and mentally - get back to a more peaceful life that I'd let get out of control. Tim, Frannie, Hannah, Mark, and James - THANK YOU!! While I hope to never see you guys again (ha!) I will never forget you and what you did for me.

This is not a service I thought I would ever need but I’m so glad it exists. Tim was so kind and understanding and honestly such a bright spot in a really dark situation. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and efficiency with which the team works and I would recommend them to anyone with confidence. Thank you so much.

When our friend died and left us with closing her estate, we discovered she was a hoarder. Her two bedroom apartment was completely trashed. Tim and his team responded to our request to clean and sanitize the apartment quickly. They removed over 3.5 tons of trash from the apartment, cleaned all the appliances and surfaces in one day. The team worked fast, they were professional, very friendly and extremely polite. I can't believe they were able to do what they did in just one day. We highly recommend Bio-One for any type of clean-up. They are the best!

My daughters car was stolen and after it was recovered by the Columbus police she went to the impound lot to see its condition. It is hard to describe what she saw: human feces, maggots, white powder, filth. Having no experience with this type of situation we reached out to Tim at BioOne after finding him on a Google search. He was wonderful. He assured us that he had experience in this type of situation. He spoke with the impound lot and was able to quickly provide an estimate for the cleaning of the vehicle which the insurance company accepted. He was responsive, reassuring, experienced, kind and calm. Can't possible say enough wonderful things about how much his calm in our storm was needed and valued. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Bio-One Columbus helped me with a cat urine situation in my home; there were several places where the urine odor was overwhelming. I was already getting new flooring in so contacted them to help. They chemical treated and sealed the subfloor after taking out the soiled carpeting. Rapid response, efficient service and thoughtful follow-up. I highly recommend them.

It took us forever to find a company that didn't feel like it was just an exorbitant fee because we were stuck with my dad and his hoarding tendencies. It was nice to get a compassionate group of people who genuinely not only cared about the job, but wad able to settle my dad's nerves with what he was able to keep. They found keepsakes and even cash and turned it over to us, their compassion, reliability, and reasonable prices will mean we'll (my family) will continue to sing their good graces. Everyone else just felt like they were leveraging our desire to move forward with how to stuff their pockets. Thank you to Marc and their team for everything you helped us through!

Tim and the Bio-One Columbus team are a great resource for both hoarding cleanup and biohazard cleanup.
Nate Plett
I cannot express just how blessed I feel by having found Tim and his team. They are professional, efficient, and so compassionate. Tim handled everything with empathy and I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of financially. I'm so thankful for finding people who care about people and not just about money. I know my daughter is resting a little easier knowing that Tim and his team took care of her Mama. (This is an after photo.)

    I have NEVER been so excited to leave a 5 star review, if I could give 10 stars to this company I would! Bio-One of Columbus is an amazing company! Patience, kindness, understanding, those are just a few words I would use to describe the service that was given to my family! Timothy is a diamond in the rough! He went above and beyond working it out so that we could use his service. His staff was equally as amazing! They worked tirelessly and professionally to complete their job! I have never been so impressed with such complete respect for someone in a hard situation! They truly make your days ahead so much brighter and stress free! If you are ever in need of their services please, please... I cannot beg of you enough, to contact Timothy at Bio-One Columbus! You will not regret it!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What is Hoarding?
    Hoarding is a behavioral pattern characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of a home and cause significant distress or impairment. 

    Compulsive hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, economic burdens, and adverse effects on personal relationships. When clinically significant enough to impair functioning, hoarding can prevent typical uses of space so as to limit basic daily activities like moving through the home, eating, and sleeping. It can also put people at risk due to increased risks of injury, fire, and disease.
    Why Hire Bio-One of Columbus To Cleanup Your Hoarding Residence?
    Bio-One of Columbus prioritize concern for the well being of our customers and their families, always following our slogan, “Help First, Business Second.” Bio-One of Columbus soundly reject the business-first mindset of other companies who see people and their families asking for help as vulnerable and exploit the economic opportunity. Our primary goal is to help people improve their lives and begin the process of moving forward.
    What Makes Bio-One of Columbus Different From Other Hoarding Cleanup Companies?
    Bio-One of Columbus sets itself apart from other hoarding cleanup companies in four distinct ways:

    Bio-One of Columbus come to give on-site estimates, never blind, inflated estimates over the phone. This allows us to give an accurate estimate and scope of work.

    Bio-One of Columbus do not give bait & switch quotes. Unlike other companies that lowball their estimates and then ratchet the price up as the job progresses, our experience and expertise allows us to give accurate estimates that reflect what the job will cost.

    Bio-One of Columbus are truly a local company, the owners and employees all call the Columbus area home, too. Other companies take your call from outside our community, and then subcontract your job out to some workers who are neither hoarding specialists nor trained professionals. Many times the contracting company does not even know the subs they have hired.

    Bio-One of Columbus respond to a hoarding cleanup request immediately because we are locally based. We're not heading into the area, we're already here.
    Does Bio-One of Columbus Share Information About Or Notify Any Other Entity Regarding A Hoarding Matter?
    Yes. Bio-One of Columbus offers a regularly-scheduled maintenance program where Bio-One of Columbus return to the residence or property after the initial cleanup and perform follow up services to ensure that it remains in the state it was when we completed the job.
    Does Bio-One of Columbus Offer Any Maintenance Or Follow Up Service After The Initial Hoarding Cleanup?
    Yes. Bio-One of Columbus offers a regularly-scheduled maintenance program where Bio-One of Columbus return to the residence or property after the initial cleanup and perform follow up services to ensure that it remains in the state it was when we completed the job.
    Do I Have To Get A Maid Service After You Are Done To Clean The Property?
    Yes. While the original hoarding cleanup will result in the removal of all necessary/requested items, the hoarding residence will still be in need of a thorough and detailed cleaning, due to the effects caused by the original hoarding situation. Bio-One of Columbus offers a detailed cleaning program to anyone who's interested.
