Fast, Reliable Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Across College Park
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in College Park typically runs $1,800-$5,500 for a single-room trauma or unattended death cleanup, and $4,000-$12,000+ for full hoarding remediation. Most jobs here take 4-8 hours on scene, though FAA-sealed homes in 30337 often need an extra day of negative-air scrubbing that other parts of metro Atlanta don’t. If you’re standing in a home right now that needs this work, call Wade Ferris at (888) 690-3757. He answers his own phone and can be on the road to College Park within the hour.
We’ve worked in enough homes along Main Street, in the Historic District, and beside the airport corridor to know exactly how College Park houses behave when trauma happens inside them. This isn’t work you should wait on. It’s also not work you should let a crew without local experience handle. We’ll get into why below.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is College Park’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration has been locally owned and owner-operated since 2007. The name on the truck is the same name that shows up at the door. Wade Ferris publishes his address and license number, and he’s the one picking up the phone when you call at 2 a.m. That matters in a city like College Park, where a lot of restoration work comes from airport hotels and commercial properties that don’t want a fuss. Wade treats the quiet residential job with the same seriousness.
Here’s the thing about biohazard work specifically: it’s not just cleaning. It’s containment. In College Park, we see homes with FAA Part 150 sound-mitigation sealing that other restoration companies don’t understand. Those seals trap airborne pathogens and decomposition odors. You can’t just open a window and run a box fan. We bring negative air machines and HEPA scrubbers as standard on these jobs, not as an add-on. More on that below.
Ask anyone on your street. Wade’s crew shows up in uniforms, background-checked, with equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. He hands you written documentation of what was done, not a verbal promise. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. No argument.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in College Park
We’re the Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team that handles the jobs other companies in College Park won’t touch. Here’s what that covers.
Crime Scene Cleanup
When a crime occurs in a College Park home, law enforcement handles the investigation. What they leave behind is blood, bodily fluids, and sometimes fingerprint dust or tear gas residue. We remove those hazards, sanitize the area to hospital-grade standards, and restore the space so a family can walk back in without seeing what happened there. In College Park’s Historic District, this often means treating original wood floors and plaster walls that soak up fluids fast.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a College Park home gets discovered days or sometimes weeks after it happens. By then, decomposition fluids have saturated flooring, subfloor, and sometimes wall cavities. We remove contaminated materials, dry the hidden voids, and run air scrubbers long enough to break down odors instead of masking them. In FAA-sealed 30337 homes, odor molecules have nowhere to escape, so this extra air-tight problem needs extra containment time.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations in College Park’s mid-century ranch homes present a different challenge than in newer builds. Those ranches have crawl spaces, and years of accumulated material often hides rodent activity, mold, and structural damage. We work with the homeowner to sort salvageable items from biohazardous waste, then clean and sanitize the shell of the home. It’s slow, careful work. We don’t rush a hoarding job and we don’t throw away family photos without asking.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood is a biohazard, period. It carries bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. We don’t just wipe it up. We follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards for removal, disinfection, and disposal. In College Park’s older homes, blood seeps into plaster and lath behind baseboards and under floorboards. Surface cleaning leaves a hidden reservoir that re-contaminates later. We go deeper.

Trusted Brands We Service in College Park
We run professional-grade equipment on every College Park job. For air filtration and pathogen control, we use Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 scrubbers and Phoenix axial air movers. For drying hidden wall and floor cavities, XPOWER and Injectidry systems pull moisture from places a surface fan never reaches. We don’t rent this equipment. We own it, our people know how to run it, and it’s loaded on the truck before Wade heads out. That means faster setup when he gets to your door in College Park.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in College Park Homes
- FAA noise-mitigated homes trap bioaerosols. Homes in the 30337 flight-path cluster that received Part 150 sealing grants have extremely tight building envelopes. When blood or decomposition fluids release airborne pathogens, those particles stay suspended and circulate through the HVAC system. Cleaning crews that skip negative air pressure spread the problem into adjacent rooms, attics, and ductwork. We run negative air on every sealed home.
- Historic District plaster walls wick fluids deep. Victorian and Craftsman homes built between the 1890s and 1930s have plaster over wood lath. Blood and bodily fluids don’t just sit on the surface. They travel down behind baseboards, into wall cavities, and along stud bays. A surface wipe leaves a hidden reservoir that re-contaminates weeks later when humidity rises.
- Airport-adjacent commercial properties delay reporting. Hotels and cargo warehouses near Hartsfield-Jackson sit in a 24/7 operation cycle. When an unattended death or biohazard incident happens in a room or bay, management often waits to report it to avoid disrupting guests or freight schedules. By the time we’re called, decomposition has advanced and fluids have saturated through carpet, padding, and subfloor. The longer the delay, the bigger the scope, and the more the insurance adjuster needs documented evidence.
- Crawl spaces under mid-century ranches harbor secondary contamination. Many College Park ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s sit over crawl spaces that collect humidity and stormwater runoff from the airport’s massive impervious footprint. When a biohazard event happens above, fluids can migrate through floorboards into that damp space below, creating a mold-biohazard combination that needs both remediation and disinfection.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in College Park, GA
Here are actual numbers for the College Park market. A single-room crime scene or trauma cleanup runs $1,800-$4,500. An unattended death with advanced decomposition runs $3,500-$7,500 depending on how much structure got saturated. A full hoarding cleanup starts around $4,000 and runs to $12,000 or more for severe cases in mid-century ranches with crawl-space contamination. Infectious disease disinfection for a single room typically runs $1,200-$2,800.
What moves the number is square footage affected, how deep fluids penetrated, and whether the home is FAA-sealed. Plan on that sealed-home factor adding one to two extra days of air scrubbing, which adds roughly $800-$1,500. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate. Wade will walk you through the scope in plain language before any work starts. And if you have a written estimate from someone else, bring it. We’ll give you a free second opinion.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in College Park
Because those homes were sealed to block airport noise, and that same sealing blocks the release of airborne pathogens and decomposition gases. In a normal home, you open windows and run exhaust fans to vent contamination. In an FAA Part 150-sealed home, the air stays trapped. We run negative air machines and HEPA scrubbers throughout the entire cleanup to pull contaminated air through filters instead of letting it circulate. Skipping this step spreads pathogens into rooms that were never affected, and it’s the number one reason we get called in to redo another company’s work in College Park. Call (888) 690-3757 if you’re facing this situation.
Yes. Plaster walls in those Victorian and Craftsman homes are highly absorbent. Blood and fluids wick into the plaster and travel down behind baseboards and into lath. The original wood floors in these homes behave the same way. We use moisture detection and Injectidry drying systems to map where fluids went, then remove only what needs to come out. In older homes, we try to preserve the original material whenever safe, but a blood-soaked plaster wall usually can’t be saved if saturation is deep. Documenting that for your insurance claim is part of what we do.
We can be on site at any hotel in the College Park airport corridor within an hour of your call. Wade answers his own phone 24/7. When a hotel calls us, we understand the stakes: a room out of service is lost revenue, and the last thing management wants is a visible biohazard crew in the lobby. We arrive in unmarked vehicles when needed, work through back-of-house entrances, and coordinate with hotel security and the adjuster directly. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will have a crew moving.
College Park commercial properties follow Fulton County and Georgia state regulations for biohazardous waste transport and disposal, plus any property-level requirements dictated by the Port Authority or individual hotel corporate policy. We handle the paperwork and chain-of-custody documentation. If an insurance adjuster or property manager asks for proof of proper waste disposal, we provide it. You don’t need to chase permits. We do that.
Mid-century ranches in College Park have crawl spaces underneath, and years of accumulated hoard often hides rodent infestations, moisture damage, and ammonia-saturated flooring above that crawl space. The hoard itself can act like a sponge trapping humidity. When we clear those homes, the biohazard work often extends below the floor line into the crawl space, which is not typically the case in newer slab-on-grade construction. That’s the difference: the same hoarding volume in a ranch home usually means a bigger structural remediation component. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will walk the property with you before quoting anything.
