Best Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup When Atlanta Homeowners Need It Most
Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta has answered biohazard and crime scene cleanup calls across metro Atlanta for years, handling hundreds of cleanup jobs where a homeowner got a call no one ever wants: a death in the home, an unattended passing, a traumatic injury, or contamination from sewage and bodily fluids. We’ve worked in bungalows in Grant Park and tract homes in Gwinnett, and the truth is, every one of those jobs needed two things: a crew that showed up fast and a crew that knew exactly what it was doing. You shouldn’t have to think about this. That’s what we’re here for.
What Makes a Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company the Best in Atlanta?
When you’re comparing companies, you’re not comparing logos or ad copy. You’re comparing whether the crew that walks into your home knows what they’re doing with bloodborne pathogens, whether they’re insured if something goes wrong, and whether they’ll actually answer the phone at 3 a.m. Here’s what to look for, and how we stack up.
- Licensing and certification. Any legitimate biohazard company in Georgia should be state-licensed and operate under OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta is state-licensed, and our technicians train on bloodborne pathogen handling, PPE protocols, and proper waste transport per Georgia environmental regulations. Red flag: a company that hesitates to show credentials.
- Insurance and bonding. Biohazard work carries real liability. You want a company that’s insured and bonded so that if anything goes wrong, you’re protected. We’re insured and bonded, and we’re happy to provide proof before work begins. Red flag: a company that side-steps this question.
- Reputation and reviews. Look for a company with a strong local reputation across Atlanta, not a national call center that dispatches whoever’s available. Homeowners in Inman Park, Kirkwood, and Decatur have recommended us to neighbors for years. Red flag: a company with no local footprint or a string of anonymous five-star reviews that read like a script.
- Written scope before work starts. This is a known pain point in our industry, and honestly, it makes the good companies look bad. You should never be surprised by the bill. We provide a written scope and agree on it before any work begins. Red flag: a company that refuses to put numbers in writing.
- Response time. Some of these situations are time-sensitive, not just physically but emotionally. When someone calls us from a neighborhood off Ponce de Leon or out in Alpharetta, they want a real person and a fast dispatch. We answer the phone live and we move quickly. Red flag: a company whose first answer is a voicemail.

What Atlanta Customers Say
A homeowner in Grant Park told us: “I called three companies after my father passed, and Wade’s was the only one that sounded like a person, not a corporation. They walked me through everything and didn’t make me feel rushed.” Another, from a family in Sandy Springs: “The crew was respectful the entire time. They explained what needed to happen, gave us a number before they started, and the final bill matched the quote.” A property manager in Lawrenceville said: “I’ve used other cleanup companies before. Wade’s showed up when they said, wore proper protective gear, and handled the whole thing without leaving any trace of what happened. I won’t call anyone else.”
How We Compare to Other Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Companies in Atlanta
A bad biohazard company shows up in a pickup truck with a mop bucket and a strong opinion about bleach. That’s not cleanup. That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. Blood, bodily fluids, and decomposition create contamination that goes deeper than what you can see on the surface. If the company doesn’t use industry-standard disinfectants, doesn’t remove affected materials properly, and doesn’t dispose of biohazard waste through licensed channels, you’re left with lingering pathogens, odors, and a home that’s not actually clean. Worse, some companies bait you with a low phone estimate, then pad the invoice once they’re standing in your home.
Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta operates differently. We show up with the right equipment and the right training. We use professional-grade disinfectants and removal techniques that meet or exceed Georgia environmental and OSHA standards. We dry, clean, and verify that the space is safe again. We document our work with photos for insurance, and we coordinate directly with your adjuster so you don’t have to translate between us and the insurance company. And we put the price in writing before we start. If a company won’t do that, ask yourself what they’re planning.

If there has been blood, bodily fluids, or decomposition in your home, yes, you need professional biohazard remediation, not a standard cleaning service.

We won’t upsell you on work that isn’t needed, but we also won’t leave anything untreated.

What Our Customers Say
"Sewer backup into the basement, which is about as bad as it gets. Full protective gear, everything porous out and bagged, sanitised properly, and you would never know now."
- Ignatius Oduya"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
- Rowena Thackeray"He talked me through what would happen next while I was still standing in the water crying down the phone at him. That was worth as much to me that night as the equipment."
