If you’re standing in a house off Rockbridge Road or near Stone Mountain Village right now, staring at a scene you should not have to clean yourself, you don’t need a call center. You need a person who will tell you exactly what happens next and show up with a crew that knows this area’s houses.
We’ve worked enough of these situations across Stone Mountain to know that the house itself is usually part of the problem. Brick ranches on crawl spaces, split-levels on granite shelf, wet subfloors that hold onto biological material long after the visible mess is gone. This isn’t just cleanup. It’s cleanup done right the first time so you’re not calling us back in six weeks because the odor came back with the next rain.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Stone Mountain’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and still puts his name on the truck, his cell number in your hand, and his face at your door. He doesn’t send a franchise crew you will never see again. He sends background-checked, uniformed technicians he trains himself, and he shows up on site for the hard ones. Stone Mountain homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they called a national outfit first, got a phone quote, and watched the price change at the door. That doesn’t happen here. You get a written scope before any work begins, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every contract. If it’s not right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Response time to Stone Mountain matters. Whether you’re near the village, over by Mountain Industrial Boulevard, or off Memorial Drive, our crews typically reach you within a couple hours of your call. We coordinate from our Atlanta office but serve Stone Mountain as a local market, not a distant service area. Our teams know the hundred-year-old homes near the village and the 1960s split-levels east of Highway 78. That local knowledge changes how we approach a job before we ever open a door.
Wade carries IICRC certification, RIA affiliation, and IFA recognition. His crews use professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. More important than any credential: when a Stone Mountain homeowner calls about a death scene or a hoarding situation, Wade is the person on the phone. Not an answering service. Not a scheduler in another state. The owner. Ask anyone on your street who’s had water in their crawl space or a sewage backup in a finished basement. They’ll likely know his name.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Stone Mountain
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Unattended death cleanup is the hardest call we take, and we take it with the gravity it deserves. In Stone Mountain’s brick ranch and split-level homes, the challenge is rarely just the visible scene. Fluids migrate downward through carpet, pad, and plywood subfloor into the crawl space. If that crawl space has standing water from recent storms, the contamination spreads laterally, not just vertically. We remove affected materials, treat the area with hospital-grade antimicrobial products, and address the moisture source so the biological material doesn’t reactivate. We dispatched our trauma cleanup team to a split-level off Rockbridge Road in 30083 after an unattended death. The crawl space had standing water from recent storms, and the plywood subfloor had wicked up biological fluids. Our crew extracted contaminated water with a Dri-Eaz truckmount, removed affected drywall and carpet, and completed full disinfection with an IICRC-compliant antimicrobial. Because the granite shelf would not allow a French drain at depth, we sealed the crawl space and installed a dehumidifier before restoring the area.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood cleanup in a Stone Mountain home is never just about what you can see. In split-levels, fluids travel along joists, down wall cavities, and into subflooring. A scene contained to one room can contaminate three rooms below and the crawl space beneath them. We cut away unsalvageable drywall and carpet, bag it for licensed medical waste disposal, and run antimicrobial fogging through the cavity spaces. Every surface is tested before we close the walls back up. This is not a job for a grocery-store cleaner and definitely not a job for a homeowner. Bloodborne pathogens are a real hazard, and proper PPE, containment, and disposal are non-negotiable.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding remediation in Stone Mountain requires a team that understands two things: the obvious health hazards and the hidden ones. Rodent droppings, mold on trapped moisture, and sharp debris are typical. But in homes built between the late 1950s and early 1980s, there’s often another issue: the weight and density of hoarded material can hide structural damage or burst plumbing that has been leaking into the subfloor for months. We work with compassion and pace, separating salvageable items when the homeowner wants that, and we handle the full decontamination afterward. The granite bedrock under much of Stone Mountain means water sits in crawl spaces longer than in neighboring Tucker or Clarkston. Mold follows water. Our Stone Mountain hoarding jobs often end with significant crawl space remediation, not just interior cleaning.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
After a confirmed illness in the home, surface cleaning isn’t enough. We run full-space antimicrobial treatments, including fogging of HVAC supply and return paths. In Stone Mountain’s older homes, that means dealing with ductwork that hasn’t been sealed well since installation. Foul air moves through house cavities, not just register to register. We treat the cavities. We also use XPOWER air scrubbers during and after treatment to filter airborne contaminants to hospital standards. If the home has a wet crawl space, we address it. Disinfection cannot hold in a damp, biologically active environment.
Trusted Brands We Service in Stone Mountain
We use Dri-Eaz extraction and drying equipment because it’s what we trust on our own jobs. Phoenix and XPOWER air movers and scrubbers round out our drying and filtration setups. Injectidry systems go in when we need to dry wall cavities and subfloors without tearing out every square foot of gypsum. For Stone Mountain homeowners, this matters because the houses here trap moisture in ways slab homes don’t. The right equipment, run by people who know how to set it up for a crawl space house on granite, gets a job dry and disinfected faster than a rented blower from a big-box store ever will.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Stone Mountain Homes
- Recurring crawl space contamination. The impermeable granite bedrock under Stone Mountain’s 30083 ZIP code causes repeated crawl space water intrusion after heavy rain. That creates a recurring need for mold and pathogen remediation that goes beyond surface cleaning. Biohazard crews here must address geology-driven moisture cycles rather than one-time incidents.
- Asbestos in 1960s-era building materials. Homes near Stone Mountain Village often contain asbestos floor tile and pipe insulation. Cutting into a 1960s-era floor to remove contaminated materials without testing first can disturb hazardous fibers. We test before invasive work.
- Latent pathogen reactivation. A one-time disinfection is not sufficient after a trauma scene in a house with historic water intrusion. Spring rains bring moisture back into the crawl space, and latent pathogens reactivate. We seal and dehumidify as part of the remediation, not as an afterthought.
- Fluid migration through split-level framing. Split-level homes are common across 30087 and 30088. Blood and biological fluids travel along joists and down wall cavities far beyond the original scene. A room-by-room approach misses what’s in the framing.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Stone Mountain, GA
Here are honest ranges for Stone Mountain’s market. A standard trauma or blood cleanup in a single room typically runs $1,500 to $4,000. Unattended death scenes, especially with fluid migration into subfloor or crawl space, usually land between $2,500 and $6,500. Hoarding cleanup ranges from $3,000 for light clutter with minimal contamination to $10,000 or more for hoards with structural damage, animal waste, or long-standing moisture problems. Infectious disease disinfection typically runs $800 to $2,500 for a full-house treatment. What changes the price: the number of affected rooms, whether contaminated materials have reached the crawl space, whether asbestos testing is required, and whether the granite bedrock has turned a simple cleanup into a crawl space sealing project. Free estimates are just that. No trip charge inside our own county. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will give you a straight answer over the phone.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Stone Mountain
We extract the standing water first using a Dri-Eaz truckmount, then remove contaminated building materials, then disinfect the entire crawl space and install drying equipment before sealing it against future intrusion. A wet crawl space will undo a disinfection job within weeks if it’s not addressed. Then we treat the interior above. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will talk you through what this looks like specifically for your house.
Yes. Homes built between the 1950s and early 1980s may contain asbestos in floor tile, pipe insulation, or drywall compound. If we need to cut into floors or walls to remove biological contamination, we test suspect materials first. Disturbing asbestos without testing creates a second contamination problem on top of the first one. We handle it safely and in compliance with state regulations.
The granite acts as a barrier. Water that would percolate downward and away in other towns collects in crawl spaces because it can’t go down. That trapped moisture feeds mold and bacteria. After hoarding cleanup, decontamination only holds if the crawl space is dried and sealed. We don’t just fog the interior and leave. We deal with the geology.
Fluids follow gravity through floor joists, plate penetrations, and wall cavities. In a split-level, the upper floor’s framing opens directly into lower-level ceiling spaces. A scene in an upper bedroom can contaminate the ceiling below, the walls adjacent, and the crawl space under the lower level. We inspect the full framing path, not just the visible scene.
Because the bedrock under much of the 30083 area refuses drainage at depth, making crawl spaces wet every spring and after every heavy downpour. Sealing and dehumidifying breaks the moisture cycle that reactivates pathogens. It’s the difference between a one-time cleanup and a recurring odor problem. It also reduces the chance of mold coming back in the same crawl space.
