When facing a biohazard cleanup, hoarding situation, or other challenging cleanup needs, uncertainty about costs can add unnecessary stress. That’s why at Bio-One Fremont, we take pride in offering free, no-obligation “Not To Exceed” quotes. This means the price we quote is the maximum you’ll pay—no lowball offers, no surprise add-ons after the job begins.
Here’s why our approach to quoting services is a game-changer and how it reflects our commitment to transparency, honesty, and exceptional customer care.
Cleaning up biohazards, hoarding environments, or infestations can involve many variables, making it impossible to accurately quote a job without seeing the space. By offering a free on-site inspection, we provide a detailed estimate that covers every aspect of the job.
And with our “Not To Exceed” promise, you can rest assured that the price you’re quoted is the highest you’ll pay. If the job ends up being simpler than expected, we’ll adjust the cost down—but we’ll never go above the quoted amount.
Unfortunately, some companies lure customers with low initial prices, only to tack on charges as the job progresses. At Bio-One Fremont, we believe this practice is unfair and unethical. Our “Not To Exceed” quotes eliminate this concern, giving you the confidence to move forward without fear of surprise charges.
Every cleanup situation is different, and we treat it as such. By conducting an on-site evaluation, we can create a tailored plan that addresses your specific challenges—whether it’s a biohazard, hoarding cleanup, or rodent infestation.
The result? A comprehensive and transparent estimate that reflects the scope of work required, with no guesswork involved.
Many of our clients reach out during emotionally challenging periods, such as the loss of a loved one or the discovery of a hazardous situation in their home. The last thing they need is added financial stress.
Our “Not To Exceed” quotes provide peace of mind by ensuring:

Compassion. Integrity. Results. That’s the Bio-One Fremont promise.
The origins of crime- and trauma-scene cleaning services can be traced back to the 1990s when only a handful of companies operated in this industry. At that time, the field lacked regulation, and awareness of contamination risks was minimal.
"I was young and inexperienced and found myself in a situation straight out of a movie. I quickly took action to assist a woman in her time of dire need, and that's how I entered the crime scene and cleaning business," shared Nick-Anthony Zamucen, Founder of Bio-One Inc.

In the aftermath of a crime, accident, or traumatic event, the cleanup of the scene often falls to specialized professionals trained to handle biohazards and hazardous materials. However, unlike many other industries, crime scene cleanup operates within a regulatory gray area, where oversight and standards vary widely across jurisdictions. This lack of uniform regulation raises concerns regarding safety, service quality, and ethical practices within the industry.
One primary challenge stemming from this lack of regulation is the potential for inconsistencies in training and certification standards among crime scene cleanup companies. While some states may have certification programs or voluntary guidelines, there is no standardized national framework governing the qualifications and training requirements for individuals entering the field. Consequently, there may be disparities in the level of expertise and professionalism among cleanup providers, posing risks to both workers and the public.
Moreover, the absence of regulatory oversight can lead to ethical concerns regarding the exploitation of vulnerable individuals in distressing situations. Without clear guidelines, unscrupulous companies may engage in price gouging, predatory marketing tactics, or substandard practices, taking advantage of clients' emotional vulnerability during times of crisis. This underscores the urgent need for standardized regulations to protect consumers and ensure ethical conduct within the industry.
Furthermore, the lack of regulatory oversight may hinder efforts to enforce health and safety standards in crime scene cleanup operations. Biohazardous materials present significant risks of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, toxins, and infectious diseases, necessitating strict protocols for handling, disposal, and decontamination. Without regulatory mechanisms to monitor compliance with these standards, there is potential for lapses in safety practices, putting both cleanup workers and the public at risk.
In conclusion, the absence of regulation in crime scene cleanup represents a critical gap in oversight that poses risks to safety, service quality, and ethical conduct within the industry. To address these concerns, there is a pressing need for comprehensive regulatory frameworks at the state and national levels, establishing clear standards for training, certification, safety protocols, and ethical practices. By implementing robust regulatory measures, we can ensure that crime scene cleanup operations uphold the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and integrity, providing essential services to communities in times of need.
In times of family crisis, such as the loss of a loved one, unattended death, or a traumatic crime scene, the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of cleaning and restoring your property.

Before delving into how Bio-One collaborates with insurance companies, it's essential to comprehend the insurance aspect of trauma and crime scene cleanup.

These policies aim to provide financial relief to those dealing with the emotional and physical aftermath of such incidents.
When a traumatic event occurs, you may be dealing with immense grief and emotional stress. During this challenging time, handling insurance claims and the logistics of cleanup can be overwhelming. This is where Bio-One's insurance coordination services come into play.

Lives in the Atlanta area were forever altered on Tuesday, March 16, 2021 after a shooting spree at three metro Atlanta spas left eight people, including six Asian women, dead within the span of 45 minutes.
Our hearts and sympathies are with everyone impacted by this tragedy.
We sincerely hope businesses never experience these types of events, because that means it’s the worst day of their lives. However, Bio-One teams are ready 24/7 in the event biohazard remediation services are needed.
Two weeks after the tragic events in Atlanta took place, Bio-One answered the call to remediate the spa in Cherokee County. Led by Michele O'Brien and Rebecca Phillips, the Bio-One team provided a quick response and thorough decontamination.
“When we walked into the spa, it was like time stopped,” said Phillips. “Things were there just like a normal day and then chaos happened. It was a heavy feeling, and we appreciate the opportunity to help.”
Previously, Bio-One has been trusted to remediate several mass shooting tragedies including Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay, Pulse Nightclub, the San Bernardino schools and Sandy Hook.

Chocolate Spill Makes for a Sweet Cleanup
In Scranton on March 25, Juan and Nicole Morales received a call for a "chocolate" cleanup. Assuming this was code for a sewage back-up, they rushed to scene to find a different situation entirely. Approximately 100 gallons of milk chocolate had spilled, covering asphalt outside a local business.
This is certainly the sweetest smelling job a Bio-One office has ever taken, but Nicole clarified, "That smell was nice for the first few minutes but at the end I felt sick. Good thing we had an awesome team that pushed through and got this done!"
After scraping the chocolate with a forklift and pressure washing the area, the Bio-One team received a five-star review. Well done!
Behind the Scenes with Citizen's Academy
Many Bio-One owners sign up for their local Citizen's Police Academy to acquaint themselves with the activities of their local police department. This week, Bio-One owner, Ginger Akemon, in Jacksonville, FL earned her Citizen's Police Academy certificate from the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
"Definitely a learning process. Each County has their own, my goal is to go to each county's classes. This was 10 weeks long and over an hour drive each way, but well worth it, " said Ginger.

Kudos to the Omaha team for backing the blue!
Safety First
Before Bio-One teams can help first, we have to ensure safety for every technician on the job site. This week, Bio-One owners took part in conversations about safety.

Jared Lafferty, Bio-One owner in Gwinnett County, even took the conversation to Twitter and featured safety protocols his team uses while on the job.
We couldn't be prouder of our teams for putting safety first!
