Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Atlanta’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and his name is on the truck. He publishes his address and license number, and he answers his own phone. That matters in Atlanta, where a lot of national outfits quote one price on the phone and a different one at the door. Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed, and the work carries IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials. We’re not a franchise. We’re your neighbors.
Atlanta homeowners have seen enough fly-by-night operations to be skeptical, and honestly, that skepticism is earned. We’ve cleaned up after jobs where another company left blood residue in a Kirkwood bungalow’s floorboards and called it done. That’s why we do photo-documented assessments before and after, and why we hand you the full moisture log at the end of every job. Ask anyone on your street about us. Wade runs into people at the hardware store who remember the night he showed up at 3 a.m.
Response time to Atlanta proper is generally under two hours, often faster for neighborhoods inside the Perimeter. We keep equipment staged in our Atlanta office, so we’re not waiting on a truck from another county. When a family in Inman Park calls about an unattended death, Wade is on the road before the phone cools off.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Atlanta
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team handles the full range of trauma and contamination work across Atlanta. Here’s what that covers.
Crime Scene Cleanup
Blood, bodily fluids, and fingerprint dust don’t clean up like a kitchen spill. In Atlanta’s older homes, especially 1910s-1940s Craftsman bungalows in Grant Park and Inman Park, blood seeps into original hardwood and down through gaps in the subfloor into crawl spaces. We remove affected materials, sanitize with hospital-grade disinfectants, and verify the space with post-remediation testing. You shouldn’t have to see any of it again, and you won’t.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Unattended deaths in Atlanta carry a second problem beyond the obvious: roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall and 80%+ summer humidity mean decomposition fluids accelerate mold growth within 48-72 hours. We handle the full sequence: biohazard removal, odor neutralization, structural drying, and mold remediation if the fluids wicked into joists or drywall. One crew, one visit, done right. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in Atlanta’s denser neighborhoods, like Midtown or the Old Fourth Ward, often means working through alley-load townhomes with tight doorways and no staging space. We bring dumpsters sized for the alley, work with building management on access constraints, and sort items with the family when they’re ready. We never just throw everything in a bin. Paperwork, photos, valuables: Wade’s crew separates those first. Hoarding scenes in Atlanta typically run $2,000-$10,000 depending on volume and whether structural repairs or pest remediation are needed.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood cleanup in Atlanta homes is regulated waste-handling work. We follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols, bag and tag all waste for proper disposal, and sanitize every surface the fluid touched. In Atlanta’s crawl-space bungalows, that often means going under the house, not just mopping the floor above. If we don’t check the crawl space, you’ll smell it again in six months. We check.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlanta
We run professional-grade equipment from Phoenix, XPOWER, and B-Air on every Atlanta job, because the humidity here doesn’t forgive cheap gear. Our crew stages XPOWER air scrubbers on trauma scenes to pull airborne pathogens, and Phoenix trailer-mounted dehumidifiers to dry crawl spaces and subfloors down to under 50% RH. We keep parts and filters stocked at our Atlanta office, so there’s no waiting on a distributor when a unit goes down mid-job. For Atlanta customers, that means faster cleanup and a drier home at the end of the day.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Atlanta Homes
- Blood and fluids in crawl spaces under pre-1980 bungalows. Grant Park, Inman Park, and Kirkwood are full of 1920s-1940s homes on crawl-space foundations. Fluids seep through old floorboards, and skipping the crawl space means recurring odor and mold calls for years.
- Biohazard waste left in alley-load bins near townhomes. Midtown and Old Fourth Ward townhomes share alley access where unsecured waste creates secondary exposure risk for neighbors. We bag, tag, and transport hazardous waste off-site under regulation, never into a shared bin.
- Mold compounding biohazard scenes within 48-72 hours. Atlanta’s dense tree canopy lifts humidity and summer thunderstorms dump rain while decomposition fluids are still active. We’ve seen mold colonizing joists on day three. Our crews carry both trauma and mold certifications for exactly this.
- Standard dehumidifiers failing after scene washdowns. A household unit can’t handle Atlanta’s summer humidity after we wash down a scene. We run LGR units like the Dri-Eaz LGR 7000XLi to actually pull the moisture out of floors and subfloors, not just move it around.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Atlanta
How soon can Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta arrive at a biohazard scene in neighborhoods like Inman Park or Grant Park?
We can typically be on-site in under two hours anywhere inside the Perimeter, including Inman Park and Grant Park. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade answers his own phone. He’ll tell you exactly when he’s heading out.
Do you handle biohazard cleanup in Atlanta’s crawl spaces, especially in older bungalows?
Yes. Atlanta’s pre-1980 bungalows sit on crawl-space foundations, and blood or fluids seep through old floorboards into that space regularly. We send techs under the house with PPE and HEPA filtration, remove contaminated soil or insulation, sanitize the framing, and dry the space to under 50% RH before we call it done. Skipping this step is why some Atlanta homeowners call a second company after the first one left.
What happens to biohazardous waste after cleanup at an Atlanta residence?
We bag and tag all biohazardous material at the scene, then transport it to a licensed medical waste facility for incineration. Nothing goes into a shared alley bin, a city dumpster, or a landfill with regular household trash. We follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and local disposal regulations on every Atlanta job.
Can you clean a hoarding situation in a townhome with narrow alley access and tight parking in Midtown or Old Fourth Ward?
Yes. We’ve run hoarding cleanouts in Atlanta townhomes where the only access is a narrow alley and the nearest parking is two blocks away. We bring dumpsters sized for the space, coordinate with building management, and work in stages so we’re not blocking the alley for days. Wade will walk the access path with you before any work starts so there are no surprises.
Does your infectious disease disinfection service cover common Atlanta scenarios like norovirus outbreaks or COVID-19 exposure in offices?
Yes. We disinfect offices, retail spaces, and homes after norovirus, COVID-19, influenza, and other infectious disease exposures across Atlanta. We use EPA-registered disinfectants with appropriate dwell times, fog hard-to-reach surfaces, and provide a written disinfection report for your records. Call (888) 690-3757 for a same-day assessment in most Atlanta neighborhoods.
