Some people believe that the police or coroner’s office handles trauma cleanup services after a death in the home or vehicle. This is not true. Once the investigation is over, families are left with the aftermath. That’s where we come in - the company you never knew you needed.
Bio-One of Orange specializes in trauma cleanup services and biohazard cleanup. We handle situations like unattended deaths, suicides, and crime scenes. Our team works with care and discretion to restore the space safely.

While police officers and investigators are responsible for processing a crime scene, they do not handle the cleanup. In some cases, law enforcement agencies contract professional biohazard cleanup companies like Bio-One of Orange to ensure proper decontamination of crime scenes, accident sites, or areas affected by biohazardous materials. We work alongside law enforcement to clean and restore locations after traumatic events. Our rapid response and professional approach make us a trusted partner in these situations.
Many people assume that the Orange County Coroner’s Office handles cleanup after a death, but this is not the case. You can visit their official website here for more information. The coroner’s role is to investigate the cause of death and release the body to the next of kin or funeral home. They do not clean up the scene. However, the coroner’s office often provides referrals to professional biohazard cleanup companies like Bio-One of Orange to ensure families receive the help they need. If you are referred to us, rest assured that we will handle the situation with professionalism, discretion, and care.
Most of the time, families pay privately for these services. However, home or auto insurance may cover the costs. We work with many insurance providers and help navigate the claims process to ease the burden. If you're unsure about coverage, contact us, and we can guide you through your options.
We understand that every situation is unique. That's why Bio-One of Orange offers free estimates to help families understand the cost upfront. In some cases, photos or videos of the affected area can help us provide an accurate estimate remotely. However, for more complex situations, we recommend an in-person evaluation. Our professionals will walk through the scene, assess the extent of contamination, and offer a clear breakdown of costs.
Every biohazard cleanup is different, and the time required varies based on the extent of the situation. Some jobs, such as small, contained areas, can be completed in just a few hours. More extensive cleanups, like unattended deaths or hoarding situations, may take several days. Factors such as structural damage, odor removal, and decontamination levels also impact the timeline. Our team at Bio-One of Orange works efficiently while ensuring every job is completed thoroughly and safely.
Dealing with trauma and loss is overwhelming. Our team approaches every job with empathy, professionalism, and respect for those involved. We arrive discreetly and work efficiently to remove biohazards while maintaining your privacy.
If you ever face this unexpected situation, know that you’re not alone. Bio-One of Orange is here 24/7 to help. Call us at 714-397-8375 or visit biooneorange.com to learn more about our services and how we can assist you.
Police officers and sheriffs complete some of the most difficult tasks imaginable. One of these tasks is the emergency vehicle decontamination to clean up biohazardous waste. 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 do, they frequently process contaminated criminals and witnesses.
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.
Cleaning biohazardous materials without the right chemicals and equipment prolongs the problem. 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 emergency vehicle decontamination 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 exposure 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.
Powerful chemicals are essential to disinfect the vehicle to diminish the risk of spreading disease through bloodborne pathogens. 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 disassemble and replace vehicle components affected by biohazardous waste and target invisible pathogens that a contaminated suspect may have left behind. Our process also eliminates stubborn odours 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 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 ensure 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 and sheriff work doesn’t need to be any more challenging than it already is.
Contact Bio-One of Orange 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.
In recognition of National Police Week, May 9-15, Bio-One thanked first responders by donating first aid kits to local departments. This initiative is part of the nationwide campaign #HelpFirst for First Responders.
Throughout the week, Bio-One offices in 41 states distributed a cumulative of 5,000 first aid kits. This distribution included alcohol swabs, Advil, gloves, gauze pads, and an assortment of bandages.
The #HelpFirst campaign aligns with the Bio-One motto, Help First, Business Second. This said campaign aimed to help officers and community members in the event of a minor medical emergency.
"Here at Bio-One of Orange, we cannot thank the local law enforcement enough for the countless hours and overtime they put in to protect and serve our communities," said Cory Flores, owner of Bio-One. "No matter what, we back the blue!"

“This partnership will further bolster the Memorial Fund’s mission of honoring America’s Law Enforcement, as well as provide support for the Museum’s upcoming exhibition opening in September. We are grateful for their commitment,” she added.
Established in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the fallen. They also tell the story of American law enforcement and make it safer for those who serve. The Memorial Fund maintains the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.
