"I’d like to warn you all about Octagon Construction and the horrible experience we have had with them. Before Thanksgiving, the machine overflowed. For hours. Filled my basement. Serv Pro came and tested everything and determined our floors needed to come out in the basement, kitchen, hall, bathroom and laundry room. Octagon Construction told us we were next on the list. We moved into a hotel. They told us it would be done in a week . They came for a few days and then no one showed up. For days. Mike reached out to them & they said they went to do some other job. Then they told us it would be another week. And then another week. And then another week. When we finally came home after a month + my house was completely filthy. Every nook, every cranny, under several inches of dust, including upstairs, in my bedroom, in my drawers. Everywhere. I took time off from work and started cleaning. Every single thing I own. My previously freshly painted walls now had stuff smeared on them that wouldn’t come off. The dust isn’t regular dust but more like some dust and goo combo that isn’t easy to clean off. Mike had to repaint the walls. But worse, our floor looked like s***. There were tiles popping up everywhere. There were huge gaps around the edge & the trim. The insurance guy came. A tile expert came. And then Octagon informed us we would have to move back to the hotel. I lost it because I’d just spent several days cleaning from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. They promised that this time they would clean. They said they would be done Sunday. When I finally got home Tuesday my couch was IN PIECES in the middle of the living room and s*** was in piles. And the dust was back on everything again and in every nook and cranny. My basement is covered in the dust and wood shavings. My refrigerator is dented. My brand new stool has a hole on it. My weights are covered in thinsulate. There are dings in the walls, paint on the floor, scratches on my fridge and walls. A plant is just entirely missing. I sent pictures to Alex, the schmuck who’s the contact at Octagon. This morning , after promising they would clean everything when he told us we had to move back out, I sent pictures when I got home, I get this message “We have met and exceeded our contractual obligations for our agreed upon scope of work. You will be receiving our invoice for the balance due. “"

"When I called the mold company for my lab results. They gave me a person named Ricardo Echeverria, Senior Mold Analyst to call for the results. He verbally told me that the cause was something like a remodel, construction going on. There was a red flag for a VOC called Methylene Chloride--Banned outdated paint. I sent Ricardo and email asking if I can have a report of what he said in writing. I only received a contaminants list. I said, I am not a scientist and do not understand the lab results.I never received a response back from him. I called Jeremiah Bancroft a few times and asked for a written explanation of the causes. He could not supply me with a written explanation because it was a legal issue. I asked for his help. I need your help. Jeremiah said, go to your primary care for a doctors note. That was the last time I spoke to him on September 19, 2024"

"Not at all impressed with this company. I was referred to them by my homeowner's insurance claims adjuster after I had water damage in my home almost 3 weeks ago. Their communication has been downright terrible to nonexistent. Each time they were at my home, they left without telling me that they were leaving (despite me being home), necessitating a call to their office to find out when they would be coming back. They repeatedly failed to provide either verbal or written updates as to when they would be coming back or what the next steps would be as far as the work they would be performing. I was kept in the dark throughout the entire process. Even when I tried to talk to the guys who were here working, I would only get very abrupt 1-2-word responses. They came and collected their drying equipment 10 days ago. At that time, I asked them if they would be doing any further work/cleanup and they said that Josh (the project manager) would be in touch with me within the next day or two with an update. I never heard from Josh or anyone at Bouchard ever again. I don't even have any paperwork from them! They are now holding up my entire insurance claim because my claims adjuster has not received their mitigation report, despite the fact that it has been nearly 2 weeks since they allegedly completed their portion of the work on my home. My adjuster has reached out to them several times without a return call or production of a mitigation report so that they can finalize my claim so that I can have my contractor start putting my home back together. It has now gotten to the point where my adjuster has asked me if I can get in touch with them for this report because she has tried multiple times to no avail. This is simply unprofessional and beyond unacceptable. No homeowner should be left hanging like this. I have been living in a demolition zone for nearly 3 weeks now and my insurance company cannot compensate me for the items that were damaged in my home as well as the drywall, ceiling, and flooring that need to be replaced until they receive the report from Bouchard. I am sick of looking at giant holes in my walls and ceilings and damaged hardwood flooring. There is absolutely NO excuse for it taking even remotely this long. Lastly, their workers left cigarette butts in my driveway and also left behind two large trash bags filled with debris in the entryway of my home. I will never use this company again and I would strongly advise avoiding them at all costs!"

There are several instances where household biohazard cleanup would be needed. All in all, anytime an event can potentially expose people to chemicals, pathogens, or viruses, a biohazard cleanup company must be called. These events can include:
Sewage backup
Unattended death or crime scene after death
Virus decontamination
Medical waste disposal
Animal waste disposal
Odor control
Hazardous chemical removal
The cost of biohazard cleanup averages between $3,000 and $5,000 for most homeowners. Some services, like sanitizing high-traffic areas or sanitizing surfaces from a virus, cost closer to $1,500. However, other circumstances, like the extensive cleanup after a major sewer backup, could cost as much as $25,000.
While a biohazard cleanup sounds like a scary process, knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns and set you up for success. It’s good to note that more than one professional might be needed depending on your situation, but that will be determined during the assessment. What you can expect during a home biohazard cleanup is the following:
Assessment: The first step in this process is for a biohazard cleanup professional to assess the damage. They create a report that includes the biohazard safety level, the needed damage cleanup, and the time it should take to complete the project.
Setup: The cleanup professional prepares the site to prevent cross-contamination and reduce toxicity risk. This process can include tarping and creating decontamination zones.
Removal of surface contamination: Any contaminated materials are removed from the area, starting with large materials followed by small ones. The professional can assess any floor-related damage once everything is removed from the site.
Salvaging items: The biohazard cleanup professionals assess which items can be saved and which are contaminated beyond the point of saving. Those deemed unsafe will be disposed of immediately.
Waste disposal: The next step is carefully disposing of the hazardous waste. Your professional will place the contaminated items in specific containers to keep the contamination from spreading.
Disinfection: The house will be disinfected and odor-neutralized. Even more minor details, like light switches and bulbs, will be disinfected so that they do not recontaminate the area in the future.
Restoration: Once the decontamination is complete, the last step is to restore the home. This includes repairing the damage to flooring, walls, or even the home's foundation.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies can help cover the cost of biohazard cleanings for specific events. Biohazard events like unattended death, infectious disease, and medical emergency are generally covered, as are flooring and drywall repairs. It’s best to check with your insurance company to see what is specifically covered.
One of the best ways to prepare for a home biohazard cleanup is not to touch anything. Do not remove belongings, even if they are of value or importance, from the area as they are likely contaminated. It’s essential not to use any cleaning products of your own, as the cleaning company will be using chemicals that could interact with your products.
One thing you can do to prepare is take pictures of your space and belongings that need to be cleaned, especially if you plan on filing a claim with your insurance company. In addition, take time to make a list of items that are valuable, sentimental, or otherwise important. The cleanup company must evaluate these belongings to make sure they are safe.
