AfterTrusted Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup for Williamsburg Homeowners
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Williamsburg is the careful removal of blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials from homes, apartments, and commercial spaces, followed by full disinfection and deodorization so the property is safe to occupy again. Most Williamsburg homeowners call us after an unattended death, an accident, a crime, or in cases where someone has been living with severe hoarding conditions. We also offer Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup - Union City. Wade Ferris has answered his own phone for these calls since 2007, and he will answer yours at (363) 666-2319 any hour of the day or night. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. Just the owner, telling you straight what he can do and when he can be there.
We are not a national franchise. We are a locally owned, owner-operated company with a published address and a license number you can look up. Wade lives where you live. He’s going to run into you at the grocery store on a Saturday. That simple fact changes how we do the work.

What Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Service Includes
This is not regular house cleaning. Biohazard remediation is its own discipline, with its own protocols for containment, removal, disinfection, and disposal. Here is what we actually do, and when you would need each piece of it.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement releases a scene, what remains is a health hazard that belongs to the property owner to address. Blood, tissue, and other biological material can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and those pathogens do not die when the surface dries. Wade’s Restoration arrives with the right personal protective equipment, medical-grade disinfectants, and the training to remove contaminated materials safely. We coordinate with your property manager or landlord if you are renting in a Williamsburg walk-up, and we document everything for your insurance file.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death is one of the hardest calls a homeowner ever makes. Days or weeks may pass before the person is found, and in that time, fluids move through floors, into subflooring, through drywall, and into the spaces below. Wade Ferris has done this work for years and he handles it quietly, respectfully, and completely. We remove affected materials, clean and disinfect the structural framing, and run professional air scrubbers and deodorizers from B-Air until the smell is gone, not masked.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup is rarely a one-day job. It often means years of accumulated material, and buried inside that material can be expired food, animal waste, mold, rodents, or personal items that family members need to recover. Wade and his crew work room by room, sorting salvageable items from debris under the direction of the family or a case manager. We are patient, we do not judge, and we get the space back to a condition where a person can live in it safely. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly on hoarding claims, because he knows how hard those conversations are for families already carrying a lot.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood and bodily fluids are not just unsightly; they are classified as regulated waste under federal law. That includes dried blood, vomit, feces, urine, and anything else that came from a human body. You cannot legally put most of it in the regular trash, and you should not be cleaning it with household bleach while your family breathes the same air. Wade’s Restoration uses hospital-grade disinfectants, proper containment, and certified disposal. Every Williamsburg contractor we work with the same way: if it came from a body, we treat it as infectious until proven otherwise.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
Whether it’s COVID-19, MRSA, norovirus, C. diff, or something else, infectious disease disinfection requires more than a wipe-down of touch points. We use EPA-registered disinfectants with proper dwell times, fogging where appropriate, and we treat the entire space, not just the areas you think are dirty. Wade’s Restoration has done infectious disease disinfection for Williamsburg apartments, small businesses, and medical offices. We provide a written record of what was treated and with what, so you have documentation for insurance or for your tenants.
Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup
Tear gas and other chemical agents leave behind a fine residue that settles into drywall, carpet, HVAC systems, and any porous surface. That residue continues to irritate skin, eyes, and lungs long after the event, and ordinary cleaning just spreads it around. Wade’s team uses specialized chemical neutralizers and HEPA air scrubbers to pull those particles out of the air and out of the building. We have done this work after incidents in Williamsburg and across Brooklyn, plus Hoboken Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup, and we know what it takes to make a space livable again.

Signs You Need Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Right Now
Call us if you see any of these. Do not wait. The longer biological material sits, the deeper it soaks and the more expensive the cleanup becomes.
- Visible blood or bodily fluids anywhere in the home. This is the clearest sign. Blood soaks into grout, wood, concrete, and drywall, and it cannot be fully removed with household products. Even small amounts of blood can carry pathogens, so treat every instance as serious.
- A strong, persistent odor that you cannot locate or eliminate. Decomposition odor is unmistakable and it gets into everything: curtains, furniture, clothing, even the structure itself. If you are in a Williamsburg apartment and the smell is coming from a neighboring unit, do not assume it will resolve on its own. Call us and we will help you figure out next steps, including talking to your landlord.
- An unattended death or a person found after days or weeks. This is one of the hardest situations anyone deals with. The fluids from a body begin to spread within hours, and after days they have moved through multiple layers of flooring and wallboard. This is not a cleanup job for a family member. It is a job for people with the right training and the right disposal permits.
- Hoarding conditions that make parts of the home unusable. When pathways are blocked, exits are compromised, or the smell of animal waste or decay is constant, the home is no longer safe. Hoarding cleanup can save a life, and it often brings families back together. Wade’s crew does this work with respect and without judgment, and we keep you informed at every step.
- Chemical exposure from tear gas, pepper spray, or an industrial accident. These residues are hazardous and they linger. If you or a tenant cannot stop coughing, if eyes are watering, or if surfaces feel sticky no matter how much you clean, the material is still in the space. We neutralize and remove it, and we air-scrub until the air you breathe is clean again.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Process - Step by Step
Here is what happens when you call Wade’s Restoration for biohazard or crime scene cleanup in Williamsburg. You will know what to expect before we ever set foot in the door.
- 1
Assessment and containment. Wade will walk the property with you or, if it is a rental, with your landlord or property manager. We identify every affected area, set up containment barriers so contaminants do not spread to clean parts of the home, and take moisture readings with professional meters to see how far fluids have traveled. You get a clear explanation before anything is touched.
- 2
Removal of affected materials. Contaminated drywall, flooring, insulation, carpet, or personal items are removed and bagged for certified disposal. We do not cut corners on removal; if it soaked through, it comes out. Everything is handled as regulated waste, with the proper manifests and disposal records that your insurance company will need.
- 3
Disinfection and deodorization. We treat every surface in the affected area with hospital-grade disinfectants with proper dwell times, then we run HEPA air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators to clean the air itself. Odors are removed at the source, not covered with perfumes. Dri-Eaz and B-Air air scrubbers run continuously during this phase.
- 4
Drying and structural inspection. After disinfection, we verify that the structural framing is sound and dry. If moisture readings show anything still elevated, we run professional drying equipment, including Injectidry systems where needed, until the numbers come down. Wade hands you the full moisture log at the end of every job. Almost nobody in this trade does that.
- 5
Final walkthrough and documentation. You and Wade walk the space together. You see what we did, what was removed, and what remains. We hand you a written scope of everything completed, before and after photos, and any documentation your insurance adjuster needs. If it is not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing.
One thing to know about working with us: the same team that starts the job finishes it. No subbing it out to a crew you have never met. Wade is on site, and his name is on the line.
How Much Does Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Cost in Williamsburg?
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup cost guide explains that Williamsburg jobs typically run between $1,500 and $5,000 for a contained single-room incident. An unattended death with significant fluid migration into subflooring or adjacent units can run $5,000 to $15,000. A full hoarding cleanup in a multi-room Williamsburg apartment often lands between $3,000 and $10,000 depending on volume, duration, and whether structural repairs are needed afterward. Every job is different, and anyone who quotes you a number without seeing the space is guessing.
What affects the price: how far the fluid has traveled, how many rooms are involved, how long the material has been sitting, what building materials are affected, and whether we are handling the disposal as regulated waste. In Williamsburg, many buildings are older with plaster walls and wood subfloors, and both of those absorb fluids deeply. New construction with concrete and steel costs less to remediate. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written scope with line items before work starts. That is exactly what Wade provides. You will see what is being removed, what is being disinfected, and what every piece costs. No surprises at the door, ever.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover biohazard and crime scene cleanup, especially when it is tied to a covered event like a death, a crime, or a sewer backup. We deal with the adjuster directly, so you are not stuck relaying information between your insurance company and your contractor. Wade will sit with the adjuster, walk the property, and make sure the full scope is documented and covered. Call (363) 666-2319 for a free estimate. If you have a written estimate from someone else, Wade will give you a free second opinion, no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Williamsburg
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup is the removal, disinfection, and certified disposal of materials that have been contaminated by blood, bodily fluids, decomposition, chemicals, or infectious disease. It is not janitorial work. It requires specialized training, personal protective equipment, and licensure for transporting and disposing of regulated waste. Wade’s Restoration holds the necessary training through IICRC standards and RIA affiliation to do this work safely and legally in Williamsburg.
Most single-room incidents take one to two days from start to finish. That includes containment, removal, disinfection, drying, and final documentation. A larger job, like a full hoarding cleanup or a decomposition that has spread through multiple rooms, can take three to five days or longer. Wade will give you a timeline in writing before work starts, and he will keep you updated by phone, not with an email you have to chase.
As covered above, most jobs in Williamsburg run between $1,500 and $15,000 depending on scope. A small blood cleanup in one room is on the low end. An unattended death that has soaked through the floor and into the unit below is on the high end. Call (363) 666-2319 and Wade will come look at the property, write you a line-item scope, and walk you through what insurance will likely cover. There is no trip charge inside our own county.
We use professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air, and our work follows IICRC standards with RIA affiliation and IFA recognition. That matters because biohazard work is not a place for consumer-grade machines or guesswork. The people we send are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the exact protocols that keep your family safe.
Yes. Wade answers his own phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you have an active biohazard situation in Williamsburg, call (363) 666-2319 and you will talk to Wade himself, not a call center. He can usually have a crew on site within the hour, and in an active emergency, he will start containment immediately to keep the problem from spreading.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every water, fire, and mold restoration job, and the same standard carries through our biohazard work. If something was not done right, we make it right, in writing, on the scope you signed before we started. Wade would rather come back and fix it than have you tell your neighbor we left you hanging. His name is on the truck.
You do not need to do much. Keep everyone, including pets, out of the affected area. Do not attempt to clean blood, fluids, or chemical residue yourself, and do not move anything that is contaminated. If it is a rental, notify your landlord and, if relevant, your insurance company. Then call us. We will handle the rest, including coordinating with your adjuster and any property management requirements.
