If you’re standing in a home right now that needs this work, call (888) 690-3757. Wade Ferris answers his own phone, day or night.
We’re not a call center routing your emergency to some unknown crew from another county. We’re the people your neighbors on South Central Avenue and Cofield Drive have called. Hapeville’s older bungalows and the unusual reality of sharing a ZIP code with the busiest airport in the world mean this work here demands local knowledge that no generic cleanup franchise can fake.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Hapeville’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration has been handling biohazard cleanup in Hapeville long enough to know that every neighborhood here has its own quirks. The craftsman bungalows north of Virginia Avenue sit differently on their lots than the worker cottages down near Sylvan Road. The crawl spaces behave differently. The airport fence line properties have their own set of rules. Our crews have cleaned trauma scenes, unattended deaths, and hoarding situations across 30320, and we’ve learned what works in these specific homes.
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 because he got tired of watching national outfits quote one price on the phone and another at the door. He publishes his name, address, and license number. He answers his own cell. When you call about a crime scene or an unattended death in Hapeville, you’ll talk to Wade, not a dispatcher in another state. That’s the entire point of what we do.
Our response time to Hapeville is fast because we’re not coming from across town. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Atlanta office, but the crews that serve Hapeville know the cut-throughs, the airport traffic patterns on Loop Road, and which streets flood after a hard rain. When someone in Hapeville calls us at 2 a.m., we’re on the road within the hour.

Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Hapeville
This is not standard janitorial work. Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team follows OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and uses professional-grade equipment from Phoenix, Dri-Eaz, and XPOWER to do things ordinary cleaning companies legally cannot. Here’s what we handle most often in Hapeville.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement releases a scene, you’re left with a house, not a crime report. In Hapeville’s older bungalows, blood and bodily fluids seep into original plaster-and-lathe walls and settle into unlined crawl spaces. We remove affected materials, decontaminate surfaces, and verify the work with ATP testing so you’re not left with a house that smells like something happened here.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a Hapeville home is something we handle with discretion and speed. Decomposition fluids migrate through original wood floors into the red clay beneath, and in these 1920s-to-1950s cottages without modern vapor barriers, that soil often has to come out. We do the full job, including odor neutralization and structural repair coordination, so the home is safe to enter again.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hapeville’s small bungalows don’t give a hoarding situation anywhere to hide. We work with families to sort, clear, and decontaminate, but we never treat it like a simple trash-out. We’re looking for structural compromise, rodent and insect contamination, and hidden moisture damage the whole time. When we’re done, the house is evaluated for what needs repairing, not just emptied.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood behind baseboards, beneath floorboards, soaked into original plaster. In Hapeville homes built before 1960, surface cleaning isn’t enough. We use EPA-registered disinfectants applied with the right dwell times, fog where appropriate, and we remove what can’t be cleaned. If it’s in the plaster and lathe, we take it to the studs and rebuild the finish.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
For commercial spaces near the airport or residential homes where a contagious illness has been present, we follow CDC and EPA protocols. Hapeville’s airport-adjacent businesses, from hotels on Virginia Avenue to food service operations north of the runways, call us for disinfectant fogging and surface treatment that meets health department expectations.
Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup
Tear gas residue settles into every porous surface in a home. In Hapeville’s older construction, that means plaster walls, original hardwood, and exposed crawl spaces all hold the chemical. We neutralize and remove it properly so the space is livable again, not just aired out.

Why Hapeville Biohazard Cleanup Is Different
Hapeville shares ZIP code 30320 with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. That’s not a trivia fact. It means our crews routinely coordinate with airport authority notifications and FAA airspace adjacency rules when we’re working on properties near the fence line. A neighboring city like College Park or East Point never requires that for the same job. If you live in the bungalows north of the airport perimeter or run a business off Loop Road, you already know the airport’s presence touches everything. We plan for it.
We were called to a 1940s craftsman bungalow near the north airport fence line after an unattended death was discovered. The original plaster-and-lathe walls and unlined crawl space had allowed odors and fluids to migrate deep into the structure. Our crew set up negative-air containment with Phoenix axial air scrubbers, removed affected plaster and lathe down to the studs, and injected an EPA-registered enzymatic cleaner into the crawl space soil using an Injectidry system to reach damage behind a sagging original floor joist. That’s not a procedure you’ll find in a generic training manual. That’s Hapeville.
The city’s flat, low-lying terrain near the airport perimeter amplifies flash flooding, which means biohazard events that start with water intrusion move faster here. Georgia Piedmont red clay shrinks and swells seasonally, stressing foundations and letting moisture, and anything carried by that moisture, migrate into places you’d never expect. When we clean a Hapeville home, we’re not just cleaning the visible scene. We’re checking what the clay and the crawl space did with it.
Trusted Brands We Use in Hapeville
We don’t bring consumer-grade equipment to a biohazard scene. The air scrubbers, negative-air machines, and injection systems on our trucks are professional units from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, and Injectidry. For Hapeville customers, that means we’re not waiting on rental equipment or shipping delays. We stock the filters, cartridges, and replacement parts these machines need, and if something fails mid-job, we’re not stalled. The work continues.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Hapeville Homes
- Original plaster-and-lathe wicking fluids into hidden wall cavities. In these 1920s-to-1950s bungalows, blood and decomposition fluids travel through plaster keyways into the space between studs. Surface cleaning leaves odor and contamination behind. We open what needs opening.
- Unlined crawl spaces soaking contaminants into red clay. Homes on North Central Avenue, Cofield Drive, and surrounding streets often have no vapor barrier. Fluids that reach the crawl space soak into exposed Georgia red clay. That soil often has to be removed and replaced, not just sprayed.
- Airport-adjacent utility easements and FAA review. Properties near the north and east airport fence line can have unexpected easements. Exterior decontamination stations sometimes trigger FAA airspace review. We pre-clear with airport authority before work starts, which saves days, not hours.
- Cast-iron and galvanized supply lines complicating decontamination. Many Hapeville homes still have original plumbing. Biohazard cleanup around these pipes requires care. We don’t blast them with pressure washers and call it done. We clean what can be cleaned and coordinate replacement when it can’t.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Hapeville
Yes, properties within certain distances of the airport fence line or within FAA airspace review zones may require airport authority notification before exterior decontamination equipment is set up. We handle that coordination for you. It’s a step we’ve done many times in Hapeville, and it rarely slows the work down because we pre-clear before we arrive. Call (888) 690-3757 and ask Wade about your specific address.
We remove the contaminated soil. In Hapeville’s unlined crawl spaces, decomposition fluids soak directly into exposed red clay, and that clay cannot be meaningfully cleaned in place. We excavate to clean soil, treat the area, and replace with new fill. It’s more involved than in newer homes with vapor barriers, but it’s the only way to eliminate odor and biological risk permanently. Call us for a site assessment.
Sometimes, if the contamination was caught quickly and never penetrated past the plaster surface. But in Hapeville’s original bungalows, fluids typically migrate through the plaster keyways into the wall cavity. In those cases, sections of wall have to come down to the studs. We’ll show you exactly what we found and what has to happen before we open anything.
We follow EPA-registered disinfectant labels and CDC guidance for the specific pathogen involved. For airport-adjacent commercial spaces in Hapeville, we document everything because health departments and airport tenants ask for records. We provide the documentation. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will walk you through what the process looks like for your space.
We use ATP testing to measure biological contamination levels on surfaces after cleaning. If the reading doesn’t pass, we clean again. The test is documented, the results are shared with you, and the job isn’t done until the numbers say it’s done. In Hapeville’s older homes, we test more points than a standard protocol requires because plaster and original wood hide contamination. Your insurance adjuster gets the documentation directly from us.
