When a family faces the aftermath of a crime, an unattended death, or a biohazard incident, every minute of delay can compound their trauma. Huuso Bio, a family- and veteran-owned remediation company based in Plainfield, Illinois, is addressing this urgency by expanding its roster of trained, IICRC-certified technicians across the Chicago metropolitan area. The move ensures faster response times for residents in Chicago, Naperville, Joliet, Aurora, Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Lake Forest, and Highland Park, among other communities, and eliminates travel fees throughout the entire Chicagoland service area.
“Nobody plans for the day they need us,” said Kevin Reifsteck, co-founder of Huuso Bio. “When that phone rings, someone on the other end is hurting. They don't need a call center reading a script, and they don't need a truck coming from another state with a travel charge tacked on. They need a neighbor who knows exactly what to do. That's who we hire and that's who we train.”
The company's expertise is rooted in decades of experience. The Reifsteck brothers, who founded Huuso Bio, have spent years in trauma and crime scene cleanup and helped develop protocols that shaped the ANSI/IICRC S540 Standard, the industry's national benchmark. Every Huuso Bio technician trains through the company's own Huuso Bio Academy, which includes the “I Care” program, designed to teach technicians how to communicate compassionately with families during traumatic events, not just how to disinfect a room.
This human-centered approach is critical because the work goes beyond cleaning. It involves blood cleanup, unattended death cleanup, suicide and homicide cleanup, hoarding, and infectious disease disinfection—all performed to OSHA, CDC, EPA, and Illinois Department of Public Health requirements. But it also means sitting with a widow at the kitchen table and explaining, in plain English, what happens next.
Faster response is only part of the equation. Huuso Bio has structured its entire process so that a single phone call removes the burden from the customer. The company offers a live team available 24/7/365, works directly with homeowners and insurance carriers so that in most cases customers pay nothing out of pocket at the time of service, provides full documentation and Proof of Disinfection, and guarantees 100 percent satisfaction. Discreet crews protect the family's privacy from arrival to final walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Huuso Bio charge travel fees in the Chicago area? No. Huuso Bio never charges travel fees anywhere in its Chicagoland service area, including Chicago, Naperville, Joliet, Aurora, Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Lake Forest, and Highland Park.
Who pays for biohazard or crime scene cleanup? In most situations, homeowners or property insurance covers it. Huuso Bio works directly with the carrier and adjuster, handles the paperwork, and typically collects nothing from the customer at the time of service.
How fast can Huuso Bio respond? Crews live and work throughout Chicagoland, and the phone is answered around the clock. Dispatch starts on the first call, so help is coming from down the road, not across the state.
This expansion is significant because it addresses a critical gap in crisis response: the time between a traumatic event and professional intervention. By placing more certified technicians locally, Huuso Bio not only cuts response times but also removes financial barriers, ensuring that families in distress receive timely, compassionate, and compliant cleanup services.
