Fast, Reliable Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Across Pomona
When a biohazard emergency hits a Pomona home, waiting isn’t really an option. Blood, bodily fluids, and unattended death scenes carry pathogens that don’t stay put. They soak into subfloors, wick up drywall, and go airborne. In Pomona’s pre-1970s housing stock, there’s another layer most people never see coming: asbestos-containing floor tiles, vermiculite ceiling texture, and lead paint that Cal/OSHA rules require us to handle at the same time as the biohazard itself. Wade Ferris and his crew have been doing this work since 2007, and we answer the phone at (855) 915-0646 when you call. The owner picks up. Not a call center.
Most biohazard and crime scene cleanup calls in Pomona need a crew on scene within hours, not days. We get that. A trauma scene inside a Pomona rental or a family home in the Lincoln Park historic district can’t wait for a corporate scheduler to pencil you in for Thursday. Wade heads out, usually within the hour, and he brings the right equipment for what Pomona’s older homes actually throw at you.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Pomona’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris has his name on the truck and his phone in his pocket. You call Pomona, you get Wade. Not a national franchise’s regional office, not an answering service. That matters when you’re standing in a Pomona home dealing with something no one should have to see alone. Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team has worked in Pomona’s older tract homes, its historic Victorians, and its rental-dense apartment blocks. We know what the Building & Safety division expects on a closeout inspection. We know which Pomona homes are going to have asbestos floor tile hiding under that 1980s vinyl peel-and-stick.
And we’re honest about scope. Before any work starts, you get a written scope. Not a vague estimate. Not a phone quote that doubles once a crew is inside. Wade deals with insurance adjusters directly. You’re not the one stuck relaying information between your carrier and the people cleaning the blood out of your floor. That alone is why Pomona homeowners call us instead of the outfits running ads from three counties away.
The work itself is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. In writing. Every single time. Ask anyone on your street.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Pomona
Here’s what we actually do, in plain English, for Pomona residents.
Crime Scene Cleanup
Crime scenes in Pomona aren’t like what TV shows. Blood gets under baseboards. It soaks through carpet into the tack strips and the subfloor. In a 1950s Pomona tract home with original hardwood, blood wicks between the boards and sits on the slab. We remove the affected materials, disinfect what remains, and test the rest. If the home has asbestos floor tile under the visible flooring, we contain and abate it before disturbing anything. Cal/OSHA doesn’t play around with that, and neither do we.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
This is the hardest work we do, and it’s the work Pomona calls us for most. An unattended death in a north Pomona rental can go undiscovered for weeks. By the time anyone notices, the body has decomposed into flooring, drywall, and sometimes the ceiling below if fluids migrated. We remove everything contaminated, run negative-air containment with HEPA filtration, and put the unit back to a state where it’s safe to enter. Not just odor-free. Safe. Because odor is the last thing to go, and it’s the first sign we missed something.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in Pomona happens in two places: the older single-family homes in the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs, and small multi-family rentals where a landlord finally got access. The work isn’t just hauling. It’s sorting. Medicines, paperwork, keepsakes, cash hidden in strange places. We treat it like what it is: someone’s life, not a dumpster job. If hoarding conditions created a biohazard, human waste, animal waste, rotten food, dead rodents, we handle that first. Then we clean.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood spills in a Pomona home don’t stop being hazardous once they look dry. Hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for a week. Hepatitis C for several days, sometimes longer. We remove and disinfect, not just wipe down. On porous surfaces, that usually means cutting out the material. On hard surfaces, it means an antimicrobial treatment that’s registered for bloodborne pathogens. The stuff you can buy at Home Depot? That’s not what this is.
We also handle Infectious Disease Disinfection, Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup, and other biohazard work across Pomona. If you’re not sure whether something counts, call. Wade will tell you straight whether you need us or whether you can handle it with bleach and gloves. No charge for that conversation.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We don’t service brands. We service homes. But the equipment we bring into Pomona homes is what matters: Dri-Eaz HEPA 500s for air filtration, XPOWER air scrubbers for negative pressure. We’re IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, which means the people in your Pomona home have trained for exactly this. Injectidry systems are on our vans for cases where contaminated water has wicked into walls or under cabinets and needs to be pulled out before we can sanitize. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s the difference between cleaning the surface and cleaning the whole problem.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Asbestos-containing floor tile and ceiling texture disturbed during trauma cleanup. Pomona’s 1940s-1960s tract homes are full of it. Disturbing it releases fibers. Cal/OSHA requires containment and abatement before biohazard work can continue. That doubles the containment cost, but you can’t skip it. We sequence the work so the biohazard part happens first, then the asbestos part, then the sign-off.
- Galvanized plumbing that’s been corroding for decades thanks to Pomona Valley’s hard groundwater. A slow leak behind a wall saturates a blood-soaked subfloor from below. Now you’ve got a Category 3 mold problem under a biohazard problem. We handle both.
- Unpermitted added drywall in rental units hiding old contamination. North Pomona and the 91767 ZIP have rental-dense blocks where a tenant hid a leak, then someone layered new drywall over the old mess. A surface cleanup misses it. Odors and pathogens come back weeks later. We’ve had to open up walls and find contamination three layers deep.
- Santa Ana wind-driven ash and smoke infiltration during an active biohazard event. Foothill fires push ash into Pomona homes through open windows, HVAC systems, and gaps in framing. If a crime scene is already open, that ash becomes part of the contamination. We clean it as part of the same job, not a separate line item.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Pomona, CA
Here’s what Pomona homeowners actually pay, based on the jobs we’ve done across the city.
| Service | Typical Pomona Range |
|---|---|
| Blood & bodily fluid cleanup (single room) | $1,200 - $3,500 |

What moves the price in Pomona specifically? Asbestos abatement. If a pre-1970s home has asbestos floor tile or ceiling texture, add $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the area and how much has to come out. Unpermitted drywall layers add labor because we’re opening walls blind and documenting everything for Building & Safety. Hard-water-damaged plumbing behind walls can turn a $2,000 blood cleanup into a $6,000 combined biohazard and Category 3 mold remediation. Wade will give you a written scope before any work starts, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already gotten from another company. Call (855) 915-0646.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Pomona
Yes. If the home was built before 1970, and the biohazard cleanup will disturb floor tile, ceiling texture, or wall materials that contain asbestos, Cal/OSHA requires a certified asbestos contractor to handle those materials before biohazard work can continue. In Pomona, many 1940s-1960s homes in the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs have asbestos-containing floor tile or vermiculite ceiling texture, so this comes up more often than people expect. Wade’s Restoration of California coordinates the asbestos containment and abatement alongside the biohazard cleanup so you’re not juggling two companies. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll tell you what your specific home will require.
We protect it first, clean around it second. In a Pomona Victorian or Craftsman from the 1890s-1920s, original millwork, plaster, and flooring can’t be replaced. We use containment barriers, negative air pressure, and careful hand removal of contaminated materials instead of aggressive demolition. If blood or fluid soaked into original hardwood, we remove only the affected boards and stabilize the surrounding area. The goal is to remove the hazard, not the history. Wade has worked in Lincoln Park homes and knows what’s irreplaceable.
Yes. Santa Ana winds funnel through the San Gabriel Mountain passes and push brush-fire ash and soot across the Pomona Valley. If a biohazard scene is already exposed, open windows or HVAC vents pull that ash into the contaminated area. That ash becomes part of the cleanup. We treat it as contaminated material, not just dust. In a Pomona apartment or home with central air, we check the ductwork for ash and biohazard particles as part of the same job.
We open it up. In the older rental blocks of north Pomona and the 91767 ZIP, we’ve found unpermitted drywall layers hiding old biohazard contamination that a surface-level cleanup would miss. We document everything for the City of Pomona Building & Safety division, remove the contaminated layers, and disinfect what remains. The landlord gets a report they can hand to an adjuster or a code enforcement officer. If you suspect contamination behind a wall, call Wade. We’ll tell you what you’re actually dealing with.
We do. Tear gas residue is a chemical, not just an odor. It settles into drywall, carpet, cabinets, and HVAC systems. Cleaning it requires chemical neutralization, not just ventilation. In Pomona apartment buildings, where units share walls and ventilation, the contamination can spread beyond the unit where the incident happened. We handle tear gas and chemical cleanup as a full decontamination: neutralize, remove what can’t be cleaned, and verify the air afterward. Call (855) 915-0646 for a quote specific to your building.
Here’s What Pomona Homeowners Should Know Before the Crew Arrives
Pomona is different from Diamond Bar, Chino Hills, or most of the surrounding suburbs, and the difference is in the walls. A 1955 Pomona tract home and a 1998 Diamond Bar house look similar on the outside. Inside, one has asbestos floor tile, galvanized pipes that have been corroding for sixty-plus years, and lead paint on every wall. The other doesn’t. When a biohazard or crime scene cleanup starts in that 1955 home, the work triggers Cal/OSHA rules the newer house never touches. That’s not optional. That’s the law. And it’s why our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team has to know Pomona specifically, not just biohazard cleanup generically. The pre-1970s construction materials, the hard-water plumbing, and the Santa Ana fire ash all change what happens once the crew arrives.
We’ve seen a Pomona rental where an unattended death went undiscovered for weeks, and the unit still had original vermiculite ceiling texture and lead paint under three layers of landlord-grade latex. We sequenced the biohazard removal-blood and bodily fluid cleanup first, then infectious disease disinfection-behind negative-air containment with HEPA filtration. XPOWER air scrubbers and Dri-Eaz HEPA 500s ran the whole time. We removed contaminated drywall and flooring down to the studs, sealed the framing, and got Building & Safety to sign off on the release. That’s what Pomona jobs look like when they’re done right.
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and he still answers his own phone. You call, you get him. Not a recording. Not a scheduler in another state. Here is my cell, he’ll tell you. And if it’s not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means he comes back and makes it right. In writing. That’s the whole deal.
