Property managers adopt no-smoking rules for a reason. Strong odors diminish the market values for apartment units, homes, restaurants and office buildings. According to one estimate by the National Association of Realtors, homes lose 29 percent of their worth when they’re blemished by cigarette smoke .These properties may never sell, forcing landlords to invest in expensive restoration services to eliminate the odor and turn a profit. The Kennedy Restoration Company estimates that this process costs $15,000 for every 2-bedroom apartment unit in Portland, Oregon. A study approved by UCLA and supported by the California Department of Public Health came up with a more conservative estimate. They say that restoring multiunit apartments damaged by cigarette smoke in California will cost roughly $5,000 per unit on average. Though market values will differ depending on where you live, it’s fair to say that odor remediation services are almost always costly. They’re also time-consuming and laborious. Property managers lose money when they’re unable to rent out a unit and must find time in their day to conduct tedious research into restoration options that fit within their budget. Bio-One makes this process easy. We provide the most effective odor remediation service in the industry, and work with property managers daily to find an economical solution to their unique situations.
Odor restoration involves a comprehensive process that targets virtually every item in the building, including floorboards, drywall, ceiling panels and light fixtures. Technicians must ventilate the property, disinfect all surfaces and discard items that absorb and sustain the odor. That means carpeting must be uprooted, curtains must be replaced, and walls must be repainted with sealers that trap unpleasant aromas. Odors will return if this process is not conducted thoroughly, forcing remediation specialists to undergo an exhausting and meticulous cleaning procedure for every property they work on. The arduousness of these services explain why they are often so pricey. When you call your local Bio-One office for a service, we’ll give you a breakdown of total costs. But we do not require payment until after your property is restored.
Once you contact us, we’ll typically complete the job within a 24-hour window, giving you the quickest opportunity to place your property back on the market. Our process eliminates the possibility that odors will return, which often happens when people without the right training attempt to clean the space themselves. According to PBS, cigarette smoke pollutants linger on surfaces for up to five years. Because of the pervasiveness of these compounds, weak chemicals and superficial cleaning jobs simply mask odors for a couple of days. We’ll remove porous structures in the building that retain the odor, like carpeting and flooring, and use a powerful chemical solution to eradicate surface-level pollutants. Call us today and you’ll be connected to a representative who can address your situation. We are on standby 24/7/365.
If you hear fluttering, squeaking and other strange noises in the night, you likely have unwelcome guests living behind your walls. Bats are among the most troublesome. Because most species are endangered, federal law prevents you from harming or killing them. That means you cannot seal off entry points in your home while they are roosting inside. Doing so jeopardizes the safety of young bats who do not know how to fly. In lieu of starving to death, the adults will force themselves into your living space out of desperation, resulting in an unsettling experience for you and an often-fatal encounter for them. The complexities of removing them from your home make it easy to pass the problem off for another day. But you’ll want to act quickly. While bats are helpful to humans for controlling bug populations and stymieing the spread of the fatal mosquito borne Zika virus, they are dangerous. But not in the way you might think. Only about six percent of bats carry rabies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and they hardly ever attack people .The far greater risk to your health comes from guano—or bat excrement.
Guano are black, shiny pellets that crumble to the touch. You’ll find them directly underneath a roost and around entry points, and they’re usually accompanied by dark, muddy-looking urine stains. Because bats eat a third of their body weight in insects each day, they can produce voluminous heaps of excrement in just a couple of weeks. The size of the buildup depends on the number of bats in your home and the length of time they are unattended. In severe cases, these piles will grow several feet high. But if you have large masses of guano in your home, it will become apparent quickly. An overwhelming odor, distinct to bat guano, will emanate from the roost and attract other invasive pests, like cockroaches and beetles.
A few scattered pellets can be swept up without a problem. But when guano pile up, they become a culture medium for fungi. When unaware homeowners try to remove these crumbling heaps of feces, noxious spores that cause histoplasmosis—a life-threatening lung disease—are released into the air and inhaled. Fortunately, not everyone who contracts the disease will exhibit any symptoms. A strong immune system will usually kill the bacteria before a virus develops and the infected person will move on with their life not knowing that their body had been fighting a fungal disease. But people with weakened immune systems, like small children, the elderly and AIDS patients, are especially vulnerable. Early symptoms are closely associated with the flu. In two to three weeks, fever, chills, muscle pain and headaches will set in. But people who do not reach out for help may begin to exhibit alarming respiratory symptoms. Shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain ensues, with the problem worsening until the lungs fail. Histoplasmosis can be treated effectively with prescribed anti-fungal medication if the infected person seeks a doctor quickly enough. But because of the health risk, homeowners are advised not to clean up guano themselves. Untrained and unwary cleaners will easily inhale spores while working in the narrow spaces that bats occupy. In some cases, they spread through the ventilation system and put everyone in the house at risk. Because of the size of the task, you’re better off hiring guano remediation specialists.
Bio-One has the equipment, the experience and the expertise to get the job done right. Our technicians will remove guano, urination stains and odors from your home for the most affordable price in the industry. We’ll also comprehensively disinfect the property to eliminate lingering bacterial threats. Contact us today and we’ll get the job done within a 24-hour window. Our offices never close.
Welcome two new offices!

Police officers complete some of the most difficult tasks imaginable. Cleaning up biohazardous waste should not be one of them. Through their day-to-day activities, patrol officers regularly encounter bacterial threats at crime scenes. Blood, body fluids, narcotics and dangerous chemicals carry unseen pathogens that linger on surfaces for weeks. While officers do not interact with these substances like crime scene investigators or biohazard cleanup crews do, they frequently process suspected criminals and witnesses who may be contaminated. These biohazardous materials may be difficult to detect, especially in the chaotic aftermath of a crime scene. Traces of blood, saliva or fentanyl on someone’s clothes may not affect an officer directly, but bacterial agents stay on upholstery in patrol cars long after a suspect has been processed. Violence and unsanitary behavior by jail inmates creates the same problem for correctional officers. Letting these biohazardous materials fester in holding cells exacerbates the threat to authorities and prisoners alike. Trying to clean them without the right chemicals and equipment prolongs it. Both of these situations demand a comprehensive decontamination solution. Fortunately, Bio-One partners with local law enforcement to disinfect patrol cars and jail cells nationwide.
Each job that Bio-One completes is unique. But we’ve been in the business long enough to know that cleaning a vehicle is difficult no matter how much training you have. It’s cramped, restrictive and difficult to reach certain areas. Furthermore, porous materials in the vehicle soak up and retain bacteria long after they are exposed to chemicals and bodily substances, leaving officers and passengers vulnerable to infection. Unfortunately, materials saturated with bio-waste are difficult to clean with over-the-counter solutions. To diminish the risk of spreading disease through bloodborne pathogens, powerful chemicals are needed to disinfect the vehicle. We hire experts in biohazard remediation to thoroughly restore cruisers, transport vehicles, riot vans and K9 patrol cars so you don’t have to. We’ll dissemble and replace vehicle components that have been affected by biohazardous waste and target invisible pathogens that may have been left behind by a contaminated suspect. Our process also eliminates stubborn odors and removes signs of visible waste, like vomit or blood spills.
Bio-One will do the same for holding cells in jails and prisons, which can become hotbeds for infectious pathogens if proper deep cleaning techniques are not employed. Superbugs like MRSA and Escherichia are known to spread in confined spaces, especially where people share living quarters. A disease outbreak puts prisoners and correctional officers at risk and threatens the reputation of the entire facility. We’ll make sure that cells tarnished by vomiting, blood spills, urination, defecation and saliva are purged of pathogens. But we also handle suicide and homicide cleanup when they occur. We’ll remove materials affected by the incident and properly decontaminate the cell for future use.
Police work doesn’t need to be any more challenging than it already is. Contact Bio-One if you need to restore your patrol car or refurbish a holding cell in your facility, and we’ll remove the problem within a 24-hour window. We are on standby all night, every day of the year, to address your unique situation.
