Wade Ferris answers his own phone, and he’ll be honest with you about what needs to happen before anyone shows up.
We’ve worked in East Point long enough to know the difference between a 1930s bungalow on a pier-and-beam crawl space near Jefferson Park and a mid-century ranch off Headland Drive. That matters when you’re dealing with biohazard contamination, because the way moisture moves through an old East Point house changes where contamination hides. Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team knows what to probe for in these older homes before scoping a job, so you’re not left with a lingering odor or a mold problem that resurfaces six months later.
Key takeaways:
- Real phone: (888) 690-3757, answered live 24/7 by Wade or his team.
- Written scope of work before anything starts. You see exactly what you’re paying for.
- We deal directly with your insurance adjuster, including photo documentation and moisture logs.
- We know East Point’s FAA-retrofitted older homes and the hidden contamination risks they create.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is East Point’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration was founded in 2007 by Wade Ferris. His name is on the truck, his license number is published, and he lives in this metro area. That’s a different kind of accountability than a national franchise that flies a crew in from three counties away. When you call for biohazard cleanup in East Point, you’ll talk to a real person who knows the streets you live on. Not a call center. Not a voicemail queue.
Our reputation in East Point comes from doing the work honestly. Homeowners in the 30344 zip code have called us after other companies quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. That doesn’t happen with Wade. He walks the scene with you, tells you what needs to be done, writes it down, and hands you the scope before a single piece of equipment comes off the truck. If it’s a water, fire, or mold job, that scope includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on paper: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print.
Response time to East Point is real, not aspirational. Wade or a member of his crew is on the road within the hour for active biohazard scenes. For an unattended death or trauma scene in the middle of the night, he’s been on Camp Creek Parkway while the streetlights were still on. You won’t wait until Monday morning with a contaminated room sealed off and no one answering your calls.
We also work directly with your insurance adjuster. Biohazard claims are hard enough without a homeowner acting as a middleman relaying details between the company doing the work and the person writing the check. Wade sends the photo documentation, the daily logs, the line-item scope of work. You deal with him, and he deals with the rest of it.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in East Point
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Unattended deaths in East Point’s older homes present a specific problem: pier-and-beam crawl spaces. When biological fluids seep through floorboards into the space below, they soak into the joists and subfloor, and the smell doesn’t go away on its own. We remove the affected materials, treat the framing, and encapsulate where needed. In a 1940s bungalow near Jefferson Park, a partial crawl-space encapsulation is often the difference between a resolved job and a callback for an odor that won’t quit. We don’t skip that step.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement releases a scene in East Point, the property becomes the homeowner’s responsibility. Blood, bodily fluids, and any biohazard residue from fingerprint dusting or tear gas are not things you should clean with household products. We’re trained and certified for this work, and we follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. We’ll remove contaminated materials, disinfect hard surfaces, and run HEPA air scrubbers to get the air safe to breathe again. We also document everything for your insurance claim, including photos before, during, and after.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in East Point’s older craftsman bungalows often means working in tight rooms with limited access and the accumulated debris of decades. We don’t treat it like an ordinary junk haul. Biohazard conditions like mold, animal waste, and spoiled food are common in these environments, and we have the training to handle them safely. We also know how to work with a family member who’s already overwhelmed and doesn’t need a crew treating their loved one’s home like a landfill. That’s not how we do it.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood doesn’t stop being dangerous when it dries. In East Point’s humid climate, a blood spill inside a home with closed windows and central air left off can become a serious bacterial hazard within 48 hours. We remove porous materials that can’t be disinfected, treat nonporous surfaces with EPA-registered disinfectants, and verify the space is safe before we leave. A household mop and bleach will not do this. We will.

Trusted Brands We Service in East Point
We run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, XPOWER air movers, and B-Air HEPA filtration equipment on East Point jobs. These aren’t rental units from a hardware store. They’re the same machines used in hospital environmental services and commercial biohazard remediation. For an East Point homeowner, that means we can pull humidity out of a sealed 1930s crawl space faster and more thoroughly than a general contractor with a box fan. When a job needs an extra day of drying because the dew point in Georgia won’t cooperate, we don’t pack up and call it “done.” We stay until the moisture readings say otherwise, and we hand you the log.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in East Point Homes
- Mold colonies hidden behind FAA-retrofitted walls. East Point homes near the airport that received noise-abatement weatherproofing, blown-in insulation and tightened window seals, lost natural ventilation in attics and wall cavities. After a water or biohazard event, that trapped humidity breeds mold behind the drywall where nobody sees it until it’s widespread. We probe for this before scoping.
- Crawl-space contamination from trauma scenes. Pier-and-beam foundations under 1920s-1950s bungalows collect runoff and biological fluids that seep through floors. Removing the subfloor and treating the space below is standard on our East Point jobs, not an upsell.
- Burst galvanized pipes in winter ice storms. Older East Point homes still have original galvanized supply lines. When Atlanta gets ice, those pipes fail, and the water that floods a basement or crawl space often carries sewage or contaminated soil. That’s a biohazard, not just a plumbing problem.
- Infectious disease concerns in aging, poorly ventilated homes. Tightly sealed older homes in East Point can hold airborne pathogens longer than newer homes with better air exchange. Infectious disease disinfection in these spaces often requires longer dwell times for disinfectants and additional air scrubbing.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in East Point, GA
Here are the real numbers for East Point’s market. A trauma or unattended death cleanup with moderate contamination in a single room runs $1,800-$3,200. A full unattended death with decomposition and floor penetration into a crawl space can run $4,500-$7,500.

Hoarding cleanup with biohazard conditions is usually $2,500-$6,000 depending on volume and severity.
What moves the cost: how long the scene sat undiscovered, whether fluids reached the crawl space or subfloor, whether mold has already colonized, and how much material must be removed and replaced. We give you a written scope with line items before work starts. Not a verbal estimate, not a range with a shrug. If you have a written estimate from another company, Wade will give you a free second opinion. And if you’re in our own county, there’s no trip charge for us to come look. Senior and veteran discounts apply always, 10% off the top. Call (888) 690-3757 and ask.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in East Point
FAA noise-abatement retrofits reduce natural ventilation in attics and wall cavities by adding blown-in insulation and sealing window and trim gaps. After a biohazard event, that trapped humidity accelerates mold colonization and spreads contamination into spaces a less experienced crew would miss. We scope for this specifically in airport-adjacent blocks like Jefferson Park and other 30344 neighborhoods before writing the job. If you suspect this has happened in your home, call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will walk you through what to look for.
Call 911 first, and after law enforcement releases the scene, call us. Biological fluids from an unattended death will penetrate the wood floors in older East Point bungalows and reach the pier-and-beam crawl space below. That subfloor and framing must be removed or treated, and the crawl space itself often needs encapsulation and disinfection to stop odors and pathogens from lingering. Do not attempt to clean it yourself. This is a job for professionals with PPE, HEPA filtrations, and the right EPA-registered disinfectants. We start the moment you’re ready.
Yes. Infectious disease disinfection in East Point homes covers everything from a single sick room to a whole-house treatment after influenza, norovirus, MRSA, or COVID. The process includes wiping down all high-touch surfaces with an EPA-registered disinfectant, fogging if indicated, and running HEPA air scrubbers to filter airborne particles. Tightly sealed older homes near the airport often need longer dwell times for disinfectants because air exchange is limited. We’ll walk through your specific home before quoting.
Two ways. First, homes that received FAA noise-abatement retrofits have reduced natural ventilation, which changes how contamination spreads and how long airborne pathogens linger after a biohazard event. Second, the airport’s massive impervious surface accelerates stormwater runoff into East Point’s residential streets during heavy thunderstorms, which can push contaminated water into crawl spaces and low-lying foundations in homes near Camp Creek. That’s a secondary biohazard condition we check for on every East Point job, even if the original call was for something unrelated.
Yes. Hoarding cleanup in East Point’s 1920s-1950s homes requires care beyond brute-force debris removal. Old wiring, weakened floor structures, and the tight spaces of craftsman bungalows mean every step has to be deliberate. We handle the biohazard side, mold, animal waste, spoiled food, contaminated surfaces, with the same safety protocols we use on trauma scenes. We work with you or a family member on what stays and what goes. It’s a process, not a race, and it’s never a judgment. Call (888) 690-3757 if you or someone you know needs help with this.
