Nine Years of Reviews

While Bio-One Columbus has many 5 star reviews, this is one of our favorites:

"I can’t recommend them enough. Tim was incredible to work with. My apartment and it’s contents suffered from severe water damage from pipes bursting, and he met me at the property shortly after I reached out to him. He handled the entire situation with incredible kindness, empathy, and understanding, which made the final process of a traumatizing few weeks much easier."

"Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash."

~General George S. Patton 

The unexpected happens -- There's been an unattended death, homicide, suicide, or medical event in your home/property. What do you do next? Please ask yourself: 

But Should I.....

  • Do It by myself?
  • Ask family or friends to help?
  • Ask my maintenance or janitorial staff to do it?

(HINT: The answer is "None of the Above.")

Why Not?

  • Legal and Financial Penalties:
    Failure to adhere to biohazard regulations, including OSHA standards, can result in fines, legal action, and potential liabilities. 
  • Health Risks:
    Ignoring biohazards can expose individuals to short-term and long-term health risks, including illness and even death. 
  • Property Damage:
    Unattended or improperly remediated biohazards can lead to long-term damage to property. 
  • Insurance Issues:
    Biohazard remediation can also pose challenges for insurance companies, potentially leading to disputes and coverage issues. 
  • Scope of Liability:
    A person or company involved in a biohazard remediation process, either actively or passively, can be held liable for the consequences, including the cost of cleanup. 
  • Importance of Professional Cleanup:
    DIY cleaning of biohazards can spread contamination and expose individuals to unnecessary risks, highlighting the importance of professional remediation services. 
  • Insurance Coverage:
    Insurance coverage for biohazard remediation can be complex, with some policies not adequately addressing the specific risks associated with biohazard cleanup, leading to disputes and potential uncovered losses. 

Tim's Corner:

When it comes to trauma scenes and other biohazard clean up, I’m often asked, “Can’t I just do this myself?”  There are two main reasons that I advise against it. 

The first is the emotional trauma that an untrained person can experience when cleaning up after a death, especially if it’s the death of a friend or family member.  There are some things that you can’t unsee.

The second reason is the liability.  My property managers and commercial accounts know that if they send someone in to do the work who isn’t properly trained and licensed, and may not have the appropriate safety gear, they risk financial loss if that person is injured or becomes ill. They also understand that there are consequences to improperly disposing of regulated biohazardous waste.

Don’t gamble your business.  Trust mine.

"Spring is far more than just a changing of seasons; it's a rebirth of the spirit."

~Toni Sorenson

Spring Cleaning & Decluttering

Happy Spring! Spring is a time for renewal, brighter days and cleaning after a long winter. Whether you own a single-family home or manage a larger set of properties, there is routine maintenance and cleaning that can be done to make the rest of the year go smoothly.

  1. You may already have a long to-do list. Don't forget these additional tips!  
  2. Cut back tree limbs and shrubs growing close to the structure to reduce potential damage from storms and assist with drainage. 
  3. Check for damage to the roof or gutters before spring storms tear loose additional roofing or create leaks in the property.
  4. Test the air conditioning system and clean/replace the furnace filter to improve the efficiency of the HVAC system.
  5. Check windows inside and out for possible re-caulking and screen repairs prior to windows being opened and to reduce AC bills.
  6. Check the garbage disposal and clean/repair if needed - this is an often-needed maintenance and cleaning item ignored until it is too late and a costly repair.
  7. Maintain landscaping and check the perimeter of the property for external signs of rodents. Call 311 if you find signs of rodents to have the city place a trap on the property.
  8. Communicate routinely with your tenants about cleaning and repairs.

If you are doing routine maintenance or spring-cleaning tasks and find yourself faced with piles of clutter, strong odors, rodent droppings or unexpected biohazard materials, please call Bio-One Columbus for assistance. We are experts in professionally and efficiently cleaning spaces of all sizes and in varying degrees of disorder. Call us today at 614-743-1795 for a free consultation.

    Did You Know?

    Spring Cleaning Fun Facts

    • You are never alone in bed! The average mattress contains sweat and skin flakes, which attract mites. Clean sheets routinely and vacuum your mattress.at least once a week.
    • Spring cleaning is a great workout. It works out all major muscle groups, requires balance and coordination and can burn up to 200 calories per hour. 
    • The average household carpet can store a huge amount of dirt — most of which is usually hidden deep within the pile. According to one estimate, each square meter of carpet is capable of holding up to a kilo of dirt. 
    • Melatonin, the hormone that causes sleepiness, is highest during the winter. During spring, the increase in sunlight and decrease in melatonin gives us a natural energy boost -- making spring a time many of us feel energized to clean! 

    Spring Cleaning Tips

    It is easy to feel overwhelmed when you start spring cleaning, so here are a few tips to get you started.

    1. Start by decluttering. It is easier to clean when there is less "stuff" in the way.
    2. Create a realistic plan for cleaning. Cleaning is a multi-day process and breaks are helpful to keep you energized.
    3. Focus on one space at a time. It can be difficult to try and clean multiple rooms or spaces simultaneously. 
    4. Gather your supplies before you start. If you've forgotten something, it's easy to feel like giving up.
    5. Motivate yourself with music while you clean! Making cleaning fun can pass the time faster.
    6. Take a sniff -- smelling for odors can help you detect hidden areas that need cleaning. 
    6. Ask for help. Cleaning with friends can be fun and rewarding.

    "Insects are the silent storytellers of the natural world, narrating tales of survival, adaptation, and coexistence."

    ~Mary Jane West-Eberhard

    What The Bug?

    Tick? Flea? Bedbug? Something else?

    Unless you are in the field of Entomology (the scientific study of insects), it is highly likely that any bug you find in your home or office will give you the "ick." Insects are a natural part of our environment, found on all continents and in every environment. There are some insects that you just do NOT want where you live. 

    Bio-One Columbus does not provide extermination services, but we do run into bugs in many of the homes where we work. Here are some of our suggestions on how to identify a few of the most common insects and what to do!

    Fleas are small, wingless blood-sucking parasites that live on the exterior of their host. Adult fleas feed only on the blood of warm-blooded hosts, preferring the body temperature of dogs or cats. While they feed on non-humans, they may bite humans. Bites from fleas look like small red dots and may occur in two or three groups or clusters around feet, ankles, and legs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a four-step process to combat a flea infestation, including sanitation of the areas where fleas breed, treat every pets in the home, use a licensed pest control application, and follow-up frequently to prevent re-infestation.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the CDC, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) all consider bed bugs a public health pest. However, unlike most public health pests, bed bugs are not known to transmit or spread disease. Bedbugs prefer to feed on humans and can hide in spaces the width of a credit card - not just mattresses but seams of couches, electrical outlets, under wallpaper, or even doorframes. 

    Every year termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage, and property owners spend over two billion dollars to treat them. Termites rarely emerge from soil, mud tubes, or food sources through which they are tunneling. Most people are not aware they have termites until they see a swarm or come across damage during construction. Many termiticides are highly toxic, making it critical to follow label directions with added care. Pest management professionals have the knowledge, expertise, and equipment as required by the label, which minimizes risks and maximizes effectiveness.

    Midges and gnats are common names for a large number of small, non-biting flies. Many species look like mosquitoes and may form annoying swarms or clouds in the air but they do not bite. The immature stages develop in water in pools, containers, ponds, clogged rain gutters, or in some cases, wet soil or seepage areas. Most feed on living or decaying plant matter or food remains. It is helpful to know if the flying bugs in your kitchen are drain flies, fruit flies, biting gnats, fungus gnats, or midges before you choose an extermination method. 

    So Wait.....

    If Bio-One Columbus doesn't exterminate infestations of bugs, why is this part of your newsletter?

    Great question! 
    Extermination of all life-stages of insects (adult, juvenile and egg) requires that the treatment reach all surfaces and areas where the bugs live. If a home is filled with possessions, cluttered with deep filth, or has biohazardous material that is a source of nourishment for the insect, extermination will not be successful. We can come in and expose surfaces for treatment, remove food sources for the insects and safely dispose of heavily-infested possessions.

    Did You Know?

    • Ticks can grow from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a marble.
    • Insects have been present for about 350 million years, and humans for only 300,000 years.
    • Blow flies are the first kind of insect attracted to an animal carcass following death.
    • There are about 91,000 different kinds (species) of insects in the United States. In the world, some 1.5 million different kinds (species) have been named.
    • Fruit flies were the first living things in space: Fruit flies were the first living creatures to be sent into space. 
    • Termite queens can live for decades: Queen termites can live for 25 to 50 years, making them the longest-lived insect.

    The Opioid Crisis

    Lethal doses of Heroin, Carfentanil & Fentanyl
    Image courtesy of the DEA

    Where Are We Today?

    In 2019, Governor DeWine announced a targeted effort to reduce opioid overdose deaths in Ohio. Efforts appear to be working, as the Ohio Department of Health (ODH)’s 2023 Ohio Unintentional Drug Overdose Report, released in October of 2024, revealed a 9% decline in verified overdose deaths across the state. In 2023, Ohio recorded 4,452 unintentional drug overdose deaths, down from 4,915 in 2022.

    Unfortunately, from 2022 to 2023, there were increases in the number of unintentional drug overdose deaths involving the non-opioid drug categories of cocaine and benzodiazepines. The number of drug overdose deaths involving cocaine increased 7%, and deaths involving benzodiazepines increased 4%. Exposure to these substances can be dangerous. We strongly encourage law enforcement, health officials and property managers not to proceed  in a scene unless appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and naloxone (e.g., NARCAN®) is available for use. 

    Safety & Cleanup

    Despite the apparent success in the 2023 report, Ohio still ranks 6th overall in the nation in overdose deaths. One of the continued leading causes of drug overdose deaths is fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is used in medical settings as a pain reliever. Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Illegally manufactured fentanyl is routinely found in heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and other non-regulated substances.

    Production and use of fentanyl-containing products can lead to fentanyl contamination in homes, vehicles and drug laboratories. These pose a serious health threat to first responders, law enforcement and anyone entering a contaminated area. Exposure to even a very small amount of fentanyl can lead to compromised breathing, respiratory arrest and death.

    If you come across a scene with possible fentanyl exposure, do not enter or attempt to clean it up yourself. Avoid disturbing the area or touching your eyes, hands or mouth after touching any potentially contaminated surface, even if you are wearing gloves. Restrict access to the area, and call Bio-One Columbus.  Our trained technicians can safely decontaminate the scene with state-of-the-art equipment and proper safety and isolation gear.

    Safety First!

    If you feel that you or someone else is in immediate danger or is experiencing a drug overdose, call 911 immediately.

    Signs of overdose include the following:

    • No response when you shake the person or call their name
    • Not breathing
    • Slow or shallow breathing (less than one breath every six seconds)
    • Pinpoint pupils
    • No response when you shake the person or rub their sternum with your knuckles
    • Choking, snoring, or gurgling sounds
    • Blue, grey, or ashen lips and fingernails
    • Slow, irregular pulse
    • No pulse
    • Vomiting
    • Seizures

    Remember: Fentanyl is measured in micrograms not milligrams, so the smallest amount can knock out your respiratory drive and stop your breathing. Please do not to try to clean these scenes by yourself.

    Help and Hope

    For anyone who is currently struggling with opioid or other substance addiction, there is hope and help.

    "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

    ~John F. Kennedy

    We Appreciate You!

    At Bio-One Columbus, we have many things to be thankful for this November. We are always grateful for our customers who trust us to do the difficult and life-altering work in stressful times.

    There's our continued appreciation of first responders and law enforcement who trust our work to call us in times of need. And to the property managers that we hope never need us and hold onto our business card -- we thank you for calling us in those rare times you do need our services.

    We know you have a choice in biohazard remediation companies and appreciate your confidence in choosing us!

    Why Be Thankful?

    The word “thank” stems from the Latin word tongēre. The root tong- means “think.” Loosely translated, the expression might read “I will remember what you have done for me."

    Intentionally practicing gratitude and thanks on a daily basis may seem a little silly but research shows that practicing gratitude and being thankful can lead to a host of physical, mental and social benefits. 

    For example, thanking someone can increase our own personal happiness and lead to higher levels of life satisfaction. Practicing gratitude also increases optimism and empathy.

    Further, being grateful to others can reduce inflammation, improve sleep and increase our energy levels. Gratitude can improve job satisfaction and lead to healthier relationships with others.

    This November, see if practicing gratitude daily can help you and those around you find joy and health a little easier!

    "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members."

    ~Coretta Scott King

    Social Connections & Support

    Why Ask For Support or Help?

    Human beings are inherently social beings, thriving when we are connected with others. While it is ok to do some things alone, like going out to eat or taking yourself to a movie, there are many benefits to engaging with others. Psychologists have found that in addition to fostering social connectedness, reaching out and working with others can reduce loneliness, boost positive mental health and create a sense of positive well-being.

    Unfortunately, there are situations that arise that absolutely require reaching out for help -- for not just emotional support, but physical support and safety. If you find a family member, friend, tenant or other person who has gotten overwhelmed with cleaning, decluttering or managing their household safety, this is definitely not a time to go it alone.

    On a practical level, while you want to help the person right away by potentially cleaning a cluttered and unsanitary space, it may lead to a host of additional issues, such as:

    • The spread of viruses or bacteria possibly being inhaled without proper respiratory protection.
    • Bedbugs or other insects taking an unintended trip on your clothing to your own home or other spaces.
    • Contaminants that can cause physical harm without proper disposal.
    • Feeling overwhelmed yourself and experiencing more stress and anxiety.

    Please contact us to remove the hazards for you. Our staff are trained to efficiently, discretely and effectively remove biohazardous waste and get living spaces habitable again. You can reduce time worrying about things that might impact your own health and wellness, and will have more time to focus on supporting the person and helping improve their well-being.

    Community Connections

    We appreciate all the connections and support we receive from community partners.

    How Can You Shape the Future of Aging?

    September celebrates Healthy Aging Month, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The goal of this month is to highlight recent scientific advancements in healthy aging, global insights on longevity, and steps everyone can take to stay independent as we age. 

    Each of us will get older! While we cannot stop the inevitable genetic march towards aging, what we can do is mindfully practice the steps towards healthy and independent aging. To shape your aging future, consider these steps.

    1. Intentional Movement: We've all heard that 30 minutes of exercise 3-4 days a week is healthy, but did you know that any purposeful movement also improves your health and wellness? Take those extra steps from the car to the store, dance while making dinner, or sing while cleaning!
    2. Nourish Your Body: A healthy range of foods that support your body's function is important over a lifetime. To avoid GI issues as you age, balance protein, fiber and nutrients in each meal. Don't forget to allow yourself foods you enjoy! Allowing foods like ice cream and potato chips can keep us from binging and having an unhealthy relationship with food.
    3. Maintain Home Safety: The #1 safety issue that impedes healthy aging is falls. Falling can lead to broken bones, head injuries, internal bleeding and anxiety. Keeping your home clean from dirt, well-lit, and clear of clutter can go a long ways to maintaining healthy aging and independence.
    4. Positive Attitude: Research shows that if you have a positive attitude towards aging, it can add years to your life. Re-thinking aging with a lens of optimizing strengths, compensating for challenges and selecting activities that bring you happiness is the right recipe for healthy aging.
    5. Stay Active: A balance of activities that include time with friends and family, fun activities by yourself, and learning new things can keep your spirit and mind young.


    While we cannot give you diet or exercise advice, Bio-One Columbus CAN help you keep your home decluttered and clean of biohazardous waste that impedes your journey towards a healthy and long life. Call us today for a consultation: 614-743-1795.

    Congratulations!

    Five-Star Review

    "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!" -Paula R., Columbus OH
