Bio SoCal

After a relative unfortunately passed away undiscovered in the home, I researched online for what to do and Bio-One was the highest ranked service that could not only decontaminate the house, but get rid of the hoard that was left over, all in one visit. The owner, Alan Cohen, was amazing to work with. I had to operate from out of state so the task of getting the house cleaned and emptied was very daunting to me, but he took everything in stride and went out of his way to assist me and my family. I can't say enough about how great they were and how efficient and thorough they were. I needed to have the locks changed as well, and I couldn't be there in person, so Alan handled the coordinating for that too. If you ever find yourself in an unfortunate situation where either a bio-hazard has happened or a hoarder's home needs to be cleaned out, Bio-One is the right place to go with! Rest assured they are honest, responsive, and they will work with you and your family to get the most mutually beneficial agreement.

Very Happy. I want to take this time to thank you for the wonderful job you did at my home. Having been a victim of a crime was painful and the fact that your team came to my home in the middle of the night and cleaned up the mess so quickly before I returned home from the hospital was a blessing. Your quick response and attention to detail returned my home to where it was before the traumatic event. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let me start by saying you never "think" you will need a biohazard service, but life happens and that is when you call Alan. We suffered an unspeakable loss by a sick and disturbed person that took our light in life and we could not deal with the clean up physically or emotionally and we called Bio-One. When we called we explained what the situation was and they handled it so professionally and made us feel like or Knight and shining armor was on the way! Just the phone conversation gave us relief. Then Alan and his assistant Cody arrived we gave them a brief breakdown of what was needed and what happened and then they went straight to work. They were of no bother to us while we continued to do the work we needed to do and came with everything they needed including portable lights because the fire ruined the electrical in that room. After they were done with the job perfectly I might add they did what was needed plus some (it might also be because we had no idea "what" was needed.)! Now this is the important part they stayed to help us navigate what to do and who to contact to accomplish this astronomical task because our grief was blinding and we simply could not think outside of it. Alan was empathetic and professional and competitively priced.

I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone needing their services. Thank you for helping us get through this tragedy without any added stress!

Thank you so much for all of your help during this difficult time. Your company and you literally came to the rescue of me and my family. I couldn't have gotten through this without your kindness, professionalism, honesty, and courtesy. Being 2,000 miles away when my brother passed was stressful and you handled the cleanup and recovery of his personal belongings and shipped them to me and I can't thank you enough. Please feel free to use my comments as a GLOWING REVIEW on your website and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for help during a difficult time.

i live in nyc. my uncle lived in irvine, ca. when he passed, i was named trustee of his estate. i traveled to california in late november. when i saw the condition of hoarding inside my uncle's house, i had no idea what to do. i was shocked. i will admit i chose bio-one somewhat randomly. i read reviews here on yelp and took a chance. figured i'd get an estimate and if the guys seemed shady, i'd move on to the next one. alan answered the phone right away and scheduled a site visit almost immediately. i explained that not only was there a severe hoarding issue, but since my uncle was ex PD and ex military, i knew there would be a number of weapons in the house, but not where. alan calmly took me through how they would approach the mess within the house and also explained how his core team were ex-military and would be sure to quickly disarm any loaded weapon. barely able to open the front door because of debris, alan's bio-one team entered the house and quickly assessed the condition. they explained how long it would take, how the day would go, what their process was, how many dumpsters they felt were needed, etc. needless to say, they were extremely thorough. i received an estimate the next day that was for far less $$ than i'd expected and far less time (2 days) than i'd expected. i told alan i'd travel back out in december. we set up guidelines as to what to look for and save in the mess and said we'd set up a date for me to return. alan was incredibly accommodating when it came to scheduling. mid december my family and i traveled out. i have to admit, i was dreading it. the bio-one core team could not have made my mom and i feel more comfortable. i knew we were in the best hands possible. alan may be the leader, but he gets his hands just as dirty (pun intended) as the rest of his team. he stayed in the dumpster, combing through anything brought to him. cody, ira, eugene and the rest of the core team were incredibly meticulous, caring, careful and also tirelessly hard workers. they made two, what i thought were going to be miserable and emotionally wrenching, days into almost an interesting look into my uncle's life and what might have been going through his mind to get to the point we were at. always respectful, they kept the days light. in the end, alan's estimate was on point. while we exceeded his expectations when it came to tonnage, the cost was dead on. and while we found weapons, including loaded ones, we never felt unsafe. they were secured the whole time. i think the thing that struck me most was the professionalism. alan and the core team made us feel like this was 'normal'. hoarding is incredibly confusing and difficult for most to understand. alan was able to give us some insight into the disease and some peace as to why/how a person gets to that point. i cannot thank bio-one, alan, ira, cody, eugene and the rest of the team for the service they performed for myself, my family and late uncle.

I actually don't have the words to convey my gratitude at this moment to you, Nick, Eugene & Cody for your help today!!! Your professionalism is sincerely appreciated. A simple hug is not enough. Please know that your efforts on my behalf are life changing in more ways than you can possibly know......although I don't have to tell you about that! Thank you for the excellent service and, more importantly, for your kindness & compassion! For the first time in three years I can hear an "echo" in this apartment! Thank you so much...I wish many blessings for you and everyone at Bio-One! Thank you very much for helping me to actually take my first breath in a week! Please know that you are awesome and truly make a difference!

They made a stressful situation easier and took a huge weight off of my shoulders so I could focus on my family and other important maters. Thank you for the great service you provide and for doing what you do.

A HUGE thank you to Alan and his team. I recently had to clear out a family property that had not changed hands in over 80 years. The last residents were also hoarders. It was certainly not an easy job. However, a job I had been dreading for 25 years was done in 3 days. Wow. And his team did a great job looking out for valuables and memorabilia. Alan was prompt and polite when he showed up to personally walk the site. We received a written estimate later that day that outlined how it would work, what it would cost, and how long the process would take. The only variable was what did we want to look out for. With minimal input, they did a great job of setting aside valuable and keepsakes, while quickly and efficiently dealing with the enormous volume of trash. I would not hesitate to recommend Bio-One SoCal to anyone.

We engaged the services of Bio-One to cleanup an extreme hoarding situation in our multi-unit complex. From our first contact with Alan and Ira we knew we were in the good hands of professionals who knew their business. They came down immediately to assess and then quote on the job. We were amazed how quickly and detailed their presentation was. The scope of the job was defined in detail. When we agreed they set up a date and time to begin. Alan was on site 30 minutes prior to the arrival of his crew. He not only went over again the details of the work but was completely in control as soon as the crew arrived. This was a complicated task involving high lift equipment to remove the highly contaminated contents but it went off without a hitch. The work was completed well within the time that we were told. Everything was cleaned up and not a trace of the enormous task that was performed was left. Thank you Alan, Ira and the crew of Bio-One !! I recommend this company very highly.
