Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Mableton’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
We’ve worked the streets off Floyd Road, Veterans Memorial Highway, and the subdivisions along Nickajack Road long enough to know what’s behind those 1960s drywall panels before we open them. Ask anyone on your street. Wade’s name is on the truck, his cell number is on the estimate, and he’s going to run into you again at the Kroger on Veterans Memorial. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why Mableton homeowners call us instead of a 1-800 line that routes to a call center in another state.
What you get with us that you won’t get from a national chain: a live person on the phone 24/7, the owner himself on-site, and a written scope before any work starts. Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly. You’re not relaying messages between two sides. For biohazard work, that matters. The last thing you need while handling a family tragedy is becoming the project manager.
Response time to Mableton is tight. Wade heads out from our metro Atlanta office as soon as you call, and he’s on the road with the truck stocked before you’ve finished your second cup of coffee. For trauma and unattended death calls, speed means containment before fluids wick further into framing and the red clay under your house.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Mableton
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team handles the full scope of contamination work across Mableton, from single-room incidents to whole-house remediation. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Crime Scene Cleanup
When law enforcement finishes processing a scene, what’s left behind is a biohazard, not a housekeeping issue. Blood, tissue, and other fluids carry bloodborne pathogens that require OSHA-compliant removal, EPA-registered disinfectants, and proper disposal under Georgia medical waste rules. In Mableton’s 1960s-1980s ranch homes, we regularly find that fluids have traveled through flooring into crawl spaces, which means the cleanup extends below the living space. We handle the full containment, removal, disinfection, and verification, and we handle the permit conversation with the City of Mableton if structural removal is required.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
This is the hardest phone call to make, and we treat it that way. An unattended death in a Mableton home means days or weeks of decomposition, and by the time we arrive, fluids have often saturated subflooring, baseboards, and in the worst cases, the soil beneath a crawl space. We don’t rush you, and we don’t oversell. Wade walks the scene with you, writes the scope, and explains exactly what needs to come out before anyone touches a wall. One call brings Wade back if anything isn’t right. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
Hoarding Cleanup
Mableton’s older homes and acreage properties often include detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings that have been accumulating for decades. Hoarding cleanup isn’t a dump run, it’s a hazardous-material job. We sort with respect, identify valuables and documents, remove contaminated material, and treat the structural surfaces underneath. Wade’s crew is trained for the reality of these jobs: rodent waste, mold under piles, structural stress from years of weight. We handle it without judgment and without a camera crew.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Even a small blood spill from an accident or medical event can seep into porous materials and create a contamination zone you can’t see. On Mableton’s humid days, what’s invisible now becomes an odor problem within a week. We remove affected drywall, insulation, flooring, and subflooring to the point of no visible contamination, then disinfect with EPA-registered antimicrobials and verify with moisture readings and ATP testing. You get the log. Almost nobody in the trade hands over that documentation.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
Homes in the 30126 ZIP where someone has been sick with a communicable disease, or where an unknown substance has been left behind, need more than a wipe-down. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers from XPOWER, and follow IICRC protocols for containment and clearance. Wade’s crew arrives in full PPE, sets up negative air if needed, and treats every surface methodically.
Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup
If a Mableton home has been exposed to tear gas or chemical agents from a law enforcement response, the residue binds to every porous surface. It doesn’t just air out. We remove affected materials, run air scrubbers from XPOWER and B-Air, and neutralize remaining residue before anyone should live in the space again.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Mableton Homes
- Clay-soil contamination under crawl spaces. Mableton sits on dense red Georgia clay that doesn’t drain. When blood or bodily fluids seep through flooring into a crawl space, they sit against that clay and wick into framing. Simple surface cleanup misses this entirely, and the odor returns within weeks.
- Unpermitted additions hiding dead spaces. Because Mableton was unincorporated Cobb County until late 2023, many homes on the ranch streets near Floyd Road and Mableton Parkway have add-on rooms that were never inspected. Those sealed-off cavities trap biohazard particulates and require aggressive air scrubbing and ozone treatment to clear.
- Original 1970s vapor barriers failing. The thin polyethylene installed when these homes were built is long since torn in most crawl spaces. Fluid that reaches the soil doesn’t just sit on the surface, it soaks in. We excavate the contaminated clay, treat the area, and install proper encapsulation.
- Insurance paperwork with a brand-new city. If a trauma scene requires drywall or flooring removal and the rebuild needs a permit, Mableton’s permitting office is still standing itself up. We handle that coordination, but it adds time that homeowners don’t expect and that national chains don’t know about.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Mableton
How does Mableton’s recent incorporation affect a biohazard cleanup that requires removing drywall or flooring?
It adds a permitting step that didn’t exist before December 2023. When Mableton was unincorporated Cobb County, structural removal connected to a biohazard job flowed through the county building department, which had a predictable process. Now those permits route through the City of Mableton, and the new municipal infrastructure is still being built out. That means timelines can stretch. We handle the permit coordination directly and factor it into the written scope so you’re not caught off guard. Call (888) 690-3757 for a walkthrough of what your specific job will need.
Will I need a permit for trauma cleanup in a 30126 home built in the 1970s?
If we’re only removing contaminated drywall, flooring, and insulation, generally no permit is required. If the damage extends into structural framing, joists, or subflooring that must be replaced, the City of Mableton will likely require a permit for that rebuild work. Because many 1970s homes in the 30126 ZIP have unpermitted additions from their unincorporated county days, we sometimes discover hidden structural work that the city has no record of. That can add review time. We manage that conversation with the city so you don’t have to.
Can you clean a crawl space after an unattended death without disturbing the foundation?
Yes, in most Mableton homes the crawl space can be accessed without touching the foundation. We remove contaminated soil by hand to a safe depth, treat the area with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, run Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and XPOWER air scrubbers until the space reads below 50% relative humidity, then install a new vapor barrier and encapsulation as needed. The foundation stays intact. This is not a job you want a general contractor guessing at. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will tell you straight what your crawl space needs.
Do you offer hoarding cleanup for Mableton homes with overloaded garages and outbuildings?
Yes. Mableton’s acreage lots mean many homes have detached garages, workshops, sheds, and even small barns that have filled up over 20 or 30 years. We clear those structures with the same respect and thoroughness we bring to a house. Biohazards inside hoarded spaces, rodent waste, mold, structural stress, are all part of the job. Wade’s crew sorts what’s salvageable, removes what isn’t, and treats the structure underneath. Call (888) 690-3757 for a no-pressure walkthrough and a written scope.
What happens if a crime scene outside the house has contaminated the red clay soil in my yard?
We excavate the contaminated soil to a safe depth, which on Mableton’s heavy clay can be 12 to 18 inches depending on saturation levels and the volume of fluid involved. The clay holds fluid close to the surface, which is good for removal, and you replace it with clean fill and, if needed, new sod. The job is done when the area tests clear. This is outdoor work with real health implications, so we follow the same OSHA and IICRC protocols we use indoors. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will assess the site in person before quoting anything.
