Fast, Reliable Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Across Davis
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Davis typically costs between $1,200 and $4,500 depending on the scope, and we can have a crew at your door the same day you call. We know Davis well enough to understand that most of these calls come from property managers around the UC Davis lease turnover, from families dealing with an unattended death, or from landlords facing a hoarding situation they didn’t see coming. When you call (855) 915-0646, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Usually it’s Wade Ferris himself.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Davis’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still runs it like he’s going to run into you at the Davis Food Co-op on a Saturday. His name is on the truck. His license number is published. He answers his own phone at midnight. That matters in this kind of work, because whoever walks through your door to clean a trauma scene needs to be someone you can hold accountable, not a rotating crew from a national call center.
Our Davis customers tell us the same thing: they want a real person who shows up on time, explains what he’s about to do, and hands them a written scope before any work starts. We’ve cleaned scenes in student rentals near Russell Boulevard, in older duplexes off Pole Line Road, and in single-family homes out in Mace Ranch. Each one is different. Each one gets the same patience and the same thoroughness.
When you call about a Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup job in Davis, Wade’s crew is dispatched from our Sacramento office and can usually reach any Davis address within an hour. That speed matters when blood or bodily fluids have seeped into flooring or wall cavities and are wicking into adjacent materials. We carry negative air machines, XPOWER air movers, and HEPA filtration on every truck, so containment starts the moment we arrive.
Wade deals with insurance adjusters directly. If your policy covers crime scene cleanup or trauma cleanup, we document everything with photos, moisture readings where relevant, and itemized scopes, then hand that file to your adjuster. You’re not the one stuck relaying information between two sides. That’s a big part of why Davis property managers keep our number saved.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Davis
Crime Scene Cleanup
Crime scene cleanup in Davis usually starts with containment, then removal of affected materials, then disinfection and verification. We handle blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazardous materials according to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. If the incident happened in a Davis rental, we also coordinate with the property manager and the tenant’s family so everyone knows what’s being removed and why.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a Davis apartment, especially in older 1960s-era student housing, often means fluids have had days or weeks to move through carpet, pad, subfloor, and sometimes into wall cavities. We remove the affected materials, disinfect the structural surfaces, and run air filtration long enough to verify the space is safe for the next occupant. We treat these scenes with the respect they deserve, and we never rush a family through the process.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in Davis frequently surfaces during the June lease turnover when a property manager walks a unit for the first time in twelve months. We work side by side with the family or the property owner to sort what can be salvaged, remove what can’t, and then clean and disinfect the living space. Davis city code requires certain waste disposal procedures for biohazardous materials, and we handle those logistics so the landlord doesn’t have to figure it out on a deadline.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood cleanup in Davis homes goes deeper than wiping a surface. In older rentals with cracked tile or worn grout, blood seeps into the subfloor and sits there. The tule fog humidity we get every winter keeps those subsurface layers damp, which makes odor rebound a real problem if the cavity isn’t dried properly. We use Phoenix and Dri-Eaz drying equipment when needed, not just chemicals and a mop.

We’re RIA-affiliated and IFA-recognized, and our techs hold IICRC credentials, which means the work is done to a standard, not to whatever’s easiest.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Davis Homes
- Fog-belt humidity drives contamination into wall cavities. Davis sits in the Sacramento Valley tule fog belt, and that dense winter fog holds humidity near saturation for days. Blood or bodily fluid residue that would dry on the surface in a drier climate instead wicks behind baseboards and into wall cavities. If you don’t open and dry those cavities, the smell comes back in a week. We open them.
- Tight alley-loaded townhomes make containment non-negotiable. A lot of Davis infill housing, especially near downtown and the university, has single-access doors and shared walls. If a contractor skips negative air containment in that setup, aerosols travel into shared stairwells and neighboring units. We set up containment on every job, but it’s absolutely critical in these layouts.
- Slab-on-grade construction hides fluid seepage. In Mace Ranch and other east-side tracts from the 1980s and 1990s, slab foundations mean blood or fluids can seep under base plates and into the concrete’s surface pores. It’s not a floor wipe. It’s a cavity and surface remediation that requires drying and antimicrobial treatment to prevent odor and bacterial growth.
- June lease turnover unearths months of deferred problems. Every year, starting around the second week of June, UC Davis leases expire en masse. Property managers walk units that were occupied for a year and find hoarding, unreported biohazard incidents, or trauma scenes nobody mentioned. We staff extra crews for that rush, because we know it’s coming. It’s the same spike every year, and it’s different from the call pattern in Woodland or West Sacramento.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Davis, CA
What you’ll pay depends on the job, but here are the ranges we see in Davis. A basic blood spill cleanup on a tile floor runs $800 to $1,500. An unattended death cleanup with moderate decomposition in an apartment typically runs $2,500 to $5,000, more if wall cavities or subflooring are involved. Hoarding cleanup ranges from $1,500 to $8,000 or more depending on the volume of debris and the condition of the unit. Slab seepage remediation in a Mace Ranch home usually starts around $2,000 because it requires concrete treatment and drying, not just surface cleaning. Every quote includes a written scope before we start. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will give you a straight number, not a bait-and-switch.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Davis
Yes. We pre-staff extra crews every year for the mid-June through mid-July turnover rush, because student leases expire in a compressed window and property managers discover months of unreported problems during move-out inspections. If you’re a property manager with multiple units in 95616 or 95618, call us in May and we’ll pencil your scope ahead of time.
We bring our equipment through the front door or alley access as needed, and we set up negative air containment at every entry point before disturbing any contaminated material. In tight townhomes with shared walls and no side yards, that containment is what keeps aerosols out of neighboring units and shared common areas. We’ve done enough of these in Davis to know exactly how to stage without blocking a neighbor’s entrance or a fire lane.
Yes. We treat slab seepage by removing the affected flooring, then drying and disinfecting the concrete surface itself with appropriate antimicrobial products. The goal is to eliminate the biological material, not just cover the stain. In Mace Ranch and other east-side Davis tracts with slab foundations, this is a common call, and we handle it start to finish without subbing it out.
First, don’t enter the unit without appropriate PPE, because hoarded spaces often hide biohazardous materials like animal waste, spoiled food, or bodily fluids. Second, document what you see with photos for insurance. Third, call us at (855) 915-0646. We’ll walk the unit with you, give you a written scope, and handle the sorting, removal, and disinfection so the unit is ready for the next tenant. We’ve done this during enough Davis turnovers to keep the process moving fast without cutting corners.
Yes. We serve off-campus student housing throughout Davis, including the 95616, 95617, and 95618 ZIP codes, and we work directly with landlords, property managers, and family members. Student rental units often have tight layouts and shared walls, so we bring the same containment discipline to those jobs as we do to single-family homes. If the property manager is out of state, we handle adjuster communication directly so nobody’s stuck waiting on a three-way phone tag.
