Sewage Backup Cleanup Service in Birmingham, AL

Sewage backup clean up is one of the least fun activities any homeowner has to deal with. That's where Bio-One comes in!

Many people believe that the first person you should call when yo experience a sewage backup is a plumber - and that's true! Call your plumber! However, your plumber won't actually clean up the sewage mess that's leftover.

Hopefully, your sewage backup was contained to a bathtub or shower or toilet - but often, the raw sewage will backup and than spill onto your floors, seep behind walls, flood your home or crawlspace - or worse.

Bio-One is Birmingham's local sewage cleanup specialist. Specializing in services such as crime scene cleanup, hoarding cleanup, odor removal and feces/urine cleanup, Bio-One's sewage cleanup services are second to none.

Some things to consider before attempting to clean up sewage yourself:

  • Sewage can harm you and your health - make sure you protect yourself with proper PPE.
  • Often, cleaning the surfaces (like flooring) is not enough - the sewage will seep underneath your flooring, and unless you get it all up from the subfloor, it won't be clean, and it will smell.
  • Sewage backup cleanup is covered by homeowner's insurance - and your insurance will pay to cover the replacement of flooring, drywall, or anything else needing to be removed.
  • Regular cleaning chemicals won't eliminate odors.
  • Crawlspace cleanup often includes dirt removal, vapor barrier removal and more - let a professional help you.

After you call your plumber to solve the blockage issue, call Bio-One to help you with your sewage backup cleanup needs.

Located in Birmingham and serving all surrounding areas of Hoover, Mountain Brook, Jasper, Anniston, Tuscaloosa and Clanton - Bio-One also has two other local offices in Huntsville and Montgomery - we serve all Alabamians.

Bio-One is Birmingham's affordable mold remediation expert.

Whether you are located in Birmingham, Hoover, Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Jasper, Clanton or anywhere in between, Bio-One is here to safely and affordably get rid of the mold problems within your home, office, vehicle, or anywhere!

There are a lot of misconceptions about mold, such as:

  • All mold is the same
  • All mold is dangerous
  • No mold should ever be in your home
  • Mold and mildew are the same
  • Mold can be killed with bleach

NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!.

Bio-One is not here to scare homeowners with mold. As described above - not all mold is dangerous, but some of it is. And the most common shock we here is the realization that mold cannot be treated with bleach - that's right, bleach WILL NOT GET RID of mold in your home.

That is what it is important to hire a mold remediation professional to take care of the issue. When you call Bio-One, here is what will happen:

  • A real life human being with our company will answer the phone
  • One of our specialists will come out to your home - for free - and assess the situation
  • Bio-One will send you a written estimate - which will be more affordable than most water restoration companies
  • Once on the job, we will contain our work areas
  • Utilize negative pressure environments to ensure no spore spreading in your home
  • Neatly cut out any drywall or materials which cannot be cleaned
  • HEPA vacuum all surfaces
  • Chemically treat all contaminated surfaces with chemicals that will kill and inhibit mold growth
  • Get rid of set-in stains
  • Seal wood
  • Return your home back to normal

There is a lot more involved with mold remediation than "just spraying some bleach on it."

Bio-One is Birmingham's only local, family-owned and 24/7 response Suicide Cleanup Service

Suicide cleanup

Bio-One is Alabama's go-to service for families with immediate emergency cleanup needs, such as suicide and homicide cleanup. Unlike other water and fire restoration companies who may perform trauma cleanup - but don't specialize in it - Bio-One is different in that this is our specialty. And more than that this is our passion. Our motto is "Help First, Business Second" - and we stand by that motto every day.

Some of Bio-One's services include:

  • Suicide cleanup
  • Homicide cleanup
  • Trauma/blood/bodily fluids cleanup
  • Unattended death/decomposition cleanup
  • Odor removal
  • Hoarding cleanup
  • Mold Remediation
  • Feces/Urine cleanup
  • Sewage backup cleanup
  • Rodent/animal droppings cleanup

With three local offices in Alabama - Birmingham, Huntsville and Montgomery - Bio-One is here to serve all Alabamians with their emergency cleanup needs. On top of that, our services are actually affordable, and typically covered by homeowner's insurance.

The major benefits to hiring Bio-One to help you with this type of cleanup:

  • We are discreet - our vehicles are unmarked
  • We are caring - Whether you want us in and out of your home as quickly as possible, or if you need a shoulder to cry on, Bio-One is here for you
  • We don't take advantage - many companies charge many thousands of dollars for relatively simple cleanups - we do not
  • Our services are covered by insurance - and we take care of the claims process for you
  • You don't need to clean up after a loved one - doing it yourself is in itself traumatic - let the professionals handle it

Please call any one of our three local offices below to serve you. All cities surrounding our main offices are in our service areas as well, including Decatur, Madison, Florence, Scottsboro, Cullman, Oneonta, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, Hoover, Clanton, Selma, Alexander City, Auburn, Troy and more.

Every month, we get anywhere from 2-10 people inquiring how to become a Crime Scene Technician, and if we are hiring. 

The great thing about working with Bio-One, we train our technicians and put them through all of the training they need to properly clean a crime scene. Jake, is the franchise owner for Bio-One's Huntsville, Birmingham, and Montgomery offices and he is also a certified trainer for the Bio-One Franchise, so we can train our technicians and get them certified once they are hired. There is classroom training, tests online, and on the job training that gets each tech confident on how to go into a scene and tackle it in a proficient and safe way. There are also specialized certifications online that we can help you apply for.

When interviewing a potential technician, we mainly look for certain qualities and traits. Our technicians must be honest, efficient, professional, empathetic, respectful, punctual, possess common sense, possess strong integrity, and last but not least- compassionate. Dealing with families who just suffered the worst loss of their lives, our technicians have to possess those qualities.

For our line of work, we also need technicians who are flexible and willing to work at all hours of the night, weekends, and sometimes holidays. Crime and trauma does not take a break after 5 p.m. during the week and does not stop on the weekends and holidays. Availability is also important since we never know when an important emergency call will come in, so being available to get to a job within the hour is a requirement.

Types of Services we provide:

Suicide/Homicide Cleanup -

Odor Removal - Undiscovered Death Cleanup - Blood Cleanup/Biohazard - Feces & Bodily Fluid Cleanup - Mold Remediation - Rodent Dropping Cleanup - Hoarding Cleanup - Junk Removal - Hazardous Waste Removal - Disinfections - & more!

Requirements for the job:

  • Lift 50+ pounds.
  • Have reliable transportation
  • Stand, kneel, & lift frequently
  • Work in harsh conditions; extreme heat/cold
  • Customer service oriented
  • Be able to work in tight spaces.(Crawlspaces, attics, etc)
  • Handle emotional/traumatic situations.
  • Pass a drug test
  • Be available on-call
  • Have a clean background.

This job is not for everyone. We see more than what the average person sees. Blood, feces (human and animal), suicides, homicides, shootings, hoarder's homes in the utmost worst conditions are all things we see on a daily basis. A weak stomach and/or mind need not apply.

 

We have a job to do- we go in with professionalism and empathy and make the horrific scene disappear. Hoarding jobs are very hard work but seeing how the residence looks after we are finished from where it started is extremely satisfying for us and our clients.

 

We may be hiring in the near future - so if you possess those qualities and can take on the responsibility of being 'on call'- give us a call!

Rodent Droppings In Your Attic - Bio-One Helps Alabamians With This Cleanup

It may not be something you think about, but if find yourself calling your pest control expert to come rid your attic of critters....well, those critters also leave behind a mess that most pest control companies don't clean up.

 

That's right - typically your local exterminator will only rid your home of the rodent problem - but they won't clean up their droppings or urine.

 

The droppings and urine from rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, bats, raccoons and birds are common in attics and actually very dangerous.

 

The main danger comes from the accidental inhalation of the droppings' particulates - which can cause someone to contract hantavirus, histoplasmosis and other infections and diseases. Without the proper PPE and know-how, any homeowners will endanger themselves if they try to clean this up alone. 

 

Bio-One is Alabama's #1 rodent droppings and critter feces cleanup company. Bio-One is a Biohazard Remediation services, specializing not only in this type of cleanup, but also hoarding cleanup, crime scene cleanup, meth lab cleanup, odor removal, mold remediation, sewage backup cleanup and much more. 

 

With three local offices in Alabama - Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Bio-One is Alabama's local leader in this type of service.

Many Emergency Clean Up Companies Aren't Local To Alabama - Bio-One Is 

The roots of crime- and trauma-scene cleaning companies can be traced to the 1990s, and at that time only a dozen or so companies existed. The industry was widely unregulated and awareness of contamination risks were relatively non-existant.

 

"I was young and dumb and saw something you only see in movies, so I quickly shut the door, took a deep breath, sat on the couch with the widow and told everyone else to get her out of here and take her to lunch, and we’ll clean this up for her," said Nick-Anthony Zamucen, Founder of Bio-One Inc. "We were just trying to help a lady in her greatest time of need, and that’s for me how I got into the crime scene and cleaning business."  

 

Today, there are hundreds of companies that advertise crime and trauma scene cleaning, and a simple Google search may prove overwhelming when you're experiencing one of the most traumatic moments in your life. Bio-One, with three local offices in Alabama (Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, is Alabama's true local expert).

 

Additionally, crime and trauma scene cleaning are not the only biohazards we clean - Bio-One also specializes in feces and urine cleanup, hoarding cleanup, mold remediation, sewage backup cleanup, odor removal, junk removal and others. 

 

To help, we've listed pre-qualifying questions to ask before choosing a crime and trauma scene company. 

 

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Crime and Trauma Scene Cleaner

There are a number of key questions to ask crime and trauma scene cleaning technicians or business owners to properly root out which one is best for your goals and circumstances. 

  • Are you local? When there's a blood spill, response time is key to prevent biohazards from spreading and to ensure quick remediation. Several businesses may pay for online advertising in your city, but their technicians could be 3 or more hours away. Furthermore, avoid calling toll free numbers. "These numbers often lead to call centers. We're local. They're not." 
  • Is your business certified and insured? Professional crime and trauma scene cleaning companies should have bloodborne pathogen certifications, they should follow OSHA personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines and remediation processes, and they should have insurance for their business. 
  • What happens to valuable or personal items that are impacted? At Bio-One, we are trained to be mindful of valuable and perceived valuable items, such as pictures, wallets, or a baseball card collection. Professional crime and trauma scene cleaners should ask if there are valuable items to keep an eye out for, and they will keep the family informed if these items are found. 
  • How will you charge for your services? In most cases, home insurance will cover the cost of biohazard remediation - less your deductible. Ask if they can open a claim on your behalf, taking this burden off your shoulders. If you don't have homeowners insurance, it's OK to ask for a free estimate so you can compare costs between other local companies. 
  • Will you be discrete during and after the job? Jake Snavely, Bio-One owner in Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, always assures her clients that discretion is top of mind while her team is onsite. Bio-One vehicles are unmarked and technicians will designate work areas to don and doff PPE out of view from neighbors. 
  • Do you have a list of resources that can help after the cleanup? You may need flooring replaced or fresh drywall installed, which will also be covered under your home insurance claim, and a recommendation could help speed up the reconstruction process. Additionally, many crime and trauma scene cleaners have connections with local counselors and victim's advocates. 

 

Last but certainly most important, make sure the business you speak with shows care and compassion for your situation. They should want to do everything possible to support you and your loved ones.

If you are searching for a family-owned, Alabama-local crime and trauma scene cleaner, Bio-One is here for you. All of our offices adhere to our business motto Help First, Business Second and are available 24/7.

Mold Remediation Information for Alabama Homeowners

 

Mold Cleanup

Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors. One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, follow the Mold Cleanup Tips and Techniques. However:

    • If there has been a lot of water damage, and/or mold growth covers more than 10 square feet, consult EPA guide Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings. Although focused on schools and commercial buildings, this document is applicable to other building types.

 

    • If you choose to hire a contractor (or other professional service provider) to do the cleanup, make sure the contractor has experience cleaning up mold. Check references and ask the contractor to follow the recommendations in EPA guide Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings, the guidelines of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH); Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC); or other guidelines from professional or government organizations. Bio-One of Alabama is one such company, and will come out to give any Alabama homeowner a free estimate, by calling them at (205) 937-1708 or visiting their website at www.bioonealabama.com

 

    • If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold (it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system), consult EPA guide Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home Cleaned? before taking further action. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the building.

 

    • If the water and/or mold damage was caused by sewage or other contaminated water, then call in a professional who has experience cleaning and fixing buildings damaged by contaminated water.

 

  • If you have health concerns, consult a health professional before starting cleanup, and call Bio-One of Alabama for a free estimate of the true nature of your mold situation. With three office locations in Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Bio-One is Alabama's leading mold expert. 

 

Tips and Techniques

The tips and techniques presented in this section will help you clean up your mold problem. Professional cleaners or remediators may use methods not covered here. Please note that mold may cause staining and cosmetic damage. It may not be possible to clean an item so that its original appearance is restored.

    • Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible. Dry all items completely.

 

    • Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely.

 

    • Absorbent or porous materials, such as ceiling tiles and carpet, may have to be thrown away if they become moldy. Mold can grow on or fill in the empty spaces and crevices of porous materials, so the mold may be difficult or impossible to remove completely.

 

    • Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces. Clean up the mold and dry the surfaces before painting. Paint applied over moldy surfaces is likely to peel.

 

  • If you are unsure about how to clean an item, or if the item is expensive or of sentimental value, you may wish to consult a specialist. Specialists in furniture repair, restoration, painting, art restoration and conservation, carpet and rug cleaning, water damage, and fire or water restoration are commonly listed in phone books. Be sure to ask for and check references. Look for specialists who are affiliated with professional organizations.

Bathroom Ideas

Places that are often or always damp can be hard to maintain completely free of mold. If there's some mold in the shower or elsewhere in the bathroom that seems to reappear, increasing ventilation (running a fan or opening a window) and cleaning more frequently will usually prevent mold from recurring, or at least keep the mold to a minimum.

 

When in doubt, contact Bio-One of Alabama for a free mold analysis of your home.
