A cleanup company takes a crime scene and cleans it to how it was before the crime took place. Doing this entails many different tedious methods such as deodorizing and disinfecting.
Different crimes require different approaches. For example, in a violent crime, where someone has died at the scene, a crime scene cleanup company must disinfect and disinfect the area. In an area where teargas has been used, the type of threat is different and the chemicals and tools used are different.
There are, of course, quite a few other things that a crime scene cleanup company in Georgia must handle.
When the police and the first responders have finished their job and the coroner leaves, the scene left behind will often contain biological remains such as blood and other bodily fluids. These biological agents can contain many pathogens and life-threatening hazards that a cleanup company will remove quickly and safely.
These signs of a crime are not only a physical hazard but an emotional and psychological danger as well. They pose a threat by serving as a constant reminder of the crimes that took place there.
Whether the crime committed occurs in a home or an office, people are exposed to its effects. A crime scene cleanup company removes these dangers and makes it easier for those involved to move on.
In an event where tear gas is used, a crime scene cleanup company in Georgia. like Bio-One Savannah, is paramount.
The chemicals from tear gas do not dissipate and fly away after the incident. Instead, they remain in the area until they are properly disposed of by a professional.
Tear gas chemicals can cause a host of health problems ranging from respiratory to skin to even severe allergic reactions. Without its removal, the chemical agents would continue to expose people to this biohazard.
Companies like Bio-One Savannah also provide services for:
Wherever dangerous medical waste materials are involved, it’s always best to hire a crime scene cleanup company Georgia expert.
When a decomposing body is discovered, the environment around it may become very hazardous. This is another time when crime scene cleanup companies are indispensable.
Homeless encampments and properties influenced by hoarders are often susceptible to a myriad of dangerous pathogens and other related factors. Some of these venues leave behind very stubborn odors that only a crime scene cleanup company will successfully eradicate.
While they’re not really known to do such, crime scene cleanup companies will offer sewage backup cleanups. Sewage backup can cause foul odors and be harmful to be around.
Mold can cause a host of respiratory ailments if not treated and remedied correctly.
Emergency vehicles will often become contaminated after transporting victims of a crime or accident. Which is why some crime scene cleanup companies will also assist in cleaning emergency vehicles.
The thing that makes Bio-one Savannah so successful at crime scene cleanups is the level of training, the certifications, and the use of industrial cleaners and protective equipment. But other than that, our success also derives from our commitment to helping clients.

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." Read Nick's story in Franchise Times.

Mirror Review published the article "Nick-Anthony Zamucen - A Game-Changer in the Restoration Industry" and we couldn't be prouder! Over the past 15 years, Nick has established a Pizzeria Chain franchise, a home care franchise, a bio-recovery franchise, and BOR. All of which are stories of success!
If you're considering stepping into the Bio-One family, here are our top 5 favorite Nick-Anthony Zamucen quotes from this article and how they relate to owning a Bio-One franchise.
1. “They’ve gone through enough, let’s go in there and end their day better than it started.”
This is a core mentality of the Bio-One motto Help First, Business Second. Crime scene cleaning is an industry where you know you are making a positive difference in people’s lives, and you will have the opportunity to help people in their greatest time of need. It's as close to being a hero on a day-to-day basis as you can get.
2. “One of the greatest enjoyments of business is interrupting the ‘status quo’ in set industries."
Over twenty years ago, the 'status quo' in crime and trauma scene cleaning was DIY. But after first-hand experience, Nick knew it was time for things to change.
Nick encountered a fellow church member who recently lost her husband after he had sadly taken his own life. After police had finished their inspection, she was left with the traumatizing aftermath from the suicide that occurred. With the mindset of helping a community member in need, Nick visited the home with the church minister and helped clean the biohazard. Soon after, Nick realized similar situations are unfortunately faced by countless individuals throughout the country and world, and with the simple idea of helping others, Bio-One was born.
Fast forward to today, Bio-One Inc. is still paving the way in this industry. In 2021, Bio-One was named number one in crime scene cleaning and trauma scene cleaning in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list. Why? Our experienced training and support team will help you launch and build your franchise business. Bio-One has developed the necessary referral networks, created top tier marketing plans, and established vendor relationships to increase your profitability.
3. “You don’t have to wear every hat and figure out every detail by yourself. When you buy a franchise, you are buying into a success strategy, a road map, and a proven game plan."
One of the benefits of buying into a franchise is that you can be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Once you begin your Bio-One business, there is a robust training and support program, systems and tools. We begin with our initial franchise training at our headquarters, and ongoing training classes are hosted throughout the year via live webinars and conference calls.
4. “This is fun and business is challenging, but how fun would it be if it were easy? I live to win and compete. I don’t live my life aiming for the second prize. It’s first or nothing…that’s what keeps me motivated."
In order to expect your new business to be a success, prepare to work. You can't just throw a bunch of seeds into the wind and expect a high yield crop. You have to be willing to put in effort from sun up to sun down to get where you want to go.
Bio-One provides the training and game plan, but the fun begins when you push yourself to execute all you've learned. You will have an incredible support system behind you, but you are the key to your own success. Once you buy a Bio-One franchise, prepare to work like never before. And prepare to be rewarded like never before.
5. “We teach life skills and business ownership. There is no one size fits all plan for everything, because everyone is uniquely different and needs different things.”
Supporting franchise owners is the backbone of our success. We recognize that Bio-One owners have unique skill sets and business backgrounds. Whether you're a retired police officer, military service member, marketing professional, or data analyst - there's a place for you.
If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, Bio-One is a good fit for you!
