Our Services

Bowdecon Offers a Range of Services to Help You Move Forward Safely.

There is a growing concern for the spread of HIV, Hepatitis and other blood-borne pathogens and communicable diseases. Without proper training and equipment, dealing with contaminated scenes is a very risky task.

At Bowdecon, we understand that you may not feel able to cope with the additional burden brought on by interacting with insurance companies during this catastrophic time. That is why we extend our services to assist you with your insurance claim (if requested) from start to finish.

Suicide Cleanup

Suicide scene cleanup services to help families during this dreadful and difficult time. This discreet and confidential service includes the cleaning, decontamination, removal and proper disposal of all potentially infectious substances and materials such as blood, body fluids, tissue, etc.

Human Decomposition

More people are living alone, without the support of family and friends. Because of this, their deaths sometimes go unnoticed for days, weeks or even months. The overpowering odor of a decomposing body can be unbearable and such scenes can be among the most difficult for people to encounter.

Homicide/Accidental Death

The sudden or violent death of a loved one is something that no one ever wants to face. Unfortunately, we sometimes find ourselves in these awful situations. Bowdecon Biohazard Management can help during this tragic and often confusing time.

Industrial/Worksite Accident

It is an unfortunate fact that workplace accidents occur. An instant of inattention or circumstances beyond anyone’s control can spell disaster. Bowdecon LLC Biohazard Management will respond in a prompt manner, to properly and professionally clean and decontaminate the scene, thus restoring it to a safe, non-biohazardous, pre-incident condition. We will also remove and properly dispose of all contaminated items and materials.

Hoarding

In many cases, the mess is simply a gradual build-up over time, until it gets to such a state that the occupants simply can’t cope. They just stop trying because they are overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the mess and then it really gets out of hand. The result is a mountain of debris that
can attract rodents, bugs, mold, fungus and a host of other undesirable pests. It can be a health hazard to the occupants, their guests, and even the surrounding neighborhood, as the pests tend to spread to other areas nearby. The clutter can also be a fire hazard, posing an immediate danger to the residence and possible collateral damage to close neighboring residences.

Distressed Properties

Removing the rubbish from a neglected property is a large and dangerous task, especially when there are potentially infectious substances and other unknown exposures buried within the contents of the general filth. A few examples from a very long list are hypodermic needles, broken glass, dead animal carcasses, weapons or anything saturated with blood or bodily fluids. Bowdecon Biohazard Management staff is properly trained and fully certified to safely remove and properly dispose of the unwanted items (furniture, garbage, carpet, sharps, drugs, etc.).

Odors

Odors from smoking or pets, for example, can be especially difficult to remedy. Our technology doesn’t simply mask the odors with a scent, it virtually destroys the odor molecules. We can actually remove the odor from your vehicle / house / apartment / work site.

Roadway/Outdoor Clean Ups

With newfound understanding and insight regarding biohazard and environmental contamination, tougher regulations and restrictions are being imposed by government entities, so ‘wash downs’ or ‘leaving it to nature’ are no longer acceptable procedure. Because certain strains of bloodborne pathogens are able to sustain life outside of the body for weeks at a time, it is crucial that these scenes be properly cleaned and decontaminated.

From Our Clients

I just want to thank you and your crew for coming out so quickly on a holiday weekend and doing such a wonderful job. You made the whole process much less painful than it could have been. Thank you again.

Wanted to say “Thank You” again for your professional services in Las Vegas, but more important we wanted to say “Thank You” for your watching out after us and your friendship. Coming into a huge town, not really knowing anyone and being thrown into this situation was “BIG” for the two of us. We depended on the two of you for guidance and looked forward to seeing smiling faces that we knew! No amount of earthly value can be placed on what the two of you gave to us that week. Your rewards will be reaped in the heavens! …We just returned from 10 days in Las Vegas. Had two contractors give up “band-Aid” bids to get the house on the real estate market… I am also working with an investment team to buy the house outright… Good news! All of the people who came into the house while we were there said they could not “smell” the smell. The contractors and the investment team had all been in houses with similar backgrounds as ours and knew the smell. You guys did a wonderful job for me!!! Each of them said they were a bit hesitant to come and bid knowing the situation and all were surprised that the clean up was so thorough and odorless. Thanks! (I gave all of them your name and number.) Thanks again for your support! Keep your heart light and go forward with hope.

I recently had a wonderful experience by hiring Bowdecon L.L.C. The stressful clean up situation was handled with care, attention, kindness and thoughtfulness by owner Daniel J. Bowen. In fact, working with him was a pleasure for me! Don't think twice; I strongly recommend using his services. Dan is thorough, honest, considerate, knowledgeable and a delight to be around. I've never had such a great experience with hiring someone and I've never before written a recommendation. Words simply cannot express how fortunate and happy I feel to have had this company and this man work with and for me.

I wanted to let you know how much Dianna appreciated all you helped her with. She often talked about you and really liked you as a person. As difficult as things were for her, she felt supported knowing that there were people like you that cared about her well-being. I'm glad she was able to have a decent place to live in those last few months of her life. It really did help her be able to open up to people more and that improved her quality of life also.

I am writing to thank you for the professional services you gave us cleaning my sister's home. The task of thoroughly cleaning a hoarder's home seemed overwhelming. You sorted through items, neatly boxed and labeled the categories that she wanted kept and left the house looking beautiful. I am especially grateful that you and your employees were honest and returned the large amounts of cash that were buried in the rubble. I also appreciated the immediate response to my initial phone call and your willingness to work around our schedule. We were in a crisis mode and under a lot of stress. Your calm and pleasant personality made a situation that I was dreading most pleasant. We also appreciated your follow up calls to make sure everything was completed to our liking. Please feel free to use Bob and I as a reference in the future.

I can't thank you enough, both from me and on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the users of our township hall, for the great job you did in making this a better place to work... Sincerely,
