Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Highland’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company

Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his own name on the truck. That might sound like a small thing, but when you’re dealing with a crime scene or trauma cleanup in your Highland home, the person you call matters. You want someone who lives in the region, works here every day, and knows the difference between a standard water extraction call and the kind of compound mess that Highland’s geography creates. We’ve worked homes off Greenspot Road, along Base Line, and in the older tract neighborhoods near the 210. We know them. We also know that most people never expected to need us, which is why we don’t do pressure tactics or phone-quote games. Wade gives you a written scope before any work starts, and he stands behind every job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, he makes it right, in writing.

Ask anyone on your street if they’ve dealt with a national chain for emergency cleanup. You’ll hear the same story: a quoted price that changed, a rotating crew of strangers, and a homeowner stuck relaying messages between a technician and an adjuster. That’s not how we work. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly. His crew is background-checked and uniformed. And he hands you the full documentation of what was done, what was found, and what it cost. No mystery. No runaround. His cell number is on the paperwork. Try getting that from a franchise.

Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Highland

This is not just one service with one approach. Highland’s older housing stock, its position at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, and the specific kinds of events that happen here mean cleanup often involves layers most people never anticipate. Here’s what we handle most in Highland.

Crime Scene Cleanup

Crime scenes in Highland require more than cleaning. They require containment, proper disposal of biohazardous material, and restoration of the space to a safe, livable condition. We’ve worked scenes in single-family tract homes throughout 92346 where blood had soaked into carpet, subfloor, and even concrete. Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team follows strict protocols for removing affected materials, disinfecting surfaces, and air scrubbing with HEPA filtration. Highland homes built in the 1970s through 1990s often have slab-on-grade foundations with no crawlspace, so anything that penetrates the flooring sits directly on concrete. That’s a very different cleanup than a raised-foundation house.

Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup

An unattended death in a Highland home is devastating enough without having to think about the biological hazards left behind. Decomposition fluids move through flooring, baseboards, and drywall, and they can wick upward into wall cavities. In Highland’s semi-arid climate, the drying happens fast on the surface, but what’s trapped underneath is another story. We remove affected materials, treat the framing and subfloor, and run HEPA air scrubbers long enough to clear the air. We also handle the emotional side with care. We don’t broadcast what we’re doing to the neighborhood. No marked trucks that announce the job. Just quiet, professional work, done with respect for the family and the home.

Hoarding Cleanup

Hoarding situations in Highland often come with more than household clutter. We’ve found ash residue from past wildfires layered into hoarded materials near the mountain-front streets, silt deposits from storm runoff, and even rodent contamination that went unnoticed for years. Hoarding cleanup requires sorting, disposal, and remediation of whatever hazards sit underneath the surface. We work with the homeowner or family at every step, identifying what’s keepable, what’s hazardous, and what needs professional disposal. Wade’s crew handles it without judgment and with a clear plan in writing before anything gets thrown out.

Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup

Blood and bodily fluids carry bloodborne pathogens that require more than bleach and elbow grease. OSHA guidelines apply, and so do California’s medical waste disposal regulations. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, remove porous materials that can’t be fully cleaned, and verify the space with environmental testing. In Highland’s 1970s-era tract homes, original drywall and insulation can wick blood and fluid upward from floor level, meaning the visible stain is only part of the problem. We open the wall, remove what’s contaminated, and treat the framing beneath. Half-measures leave biological material that can cause odor and health issues for years.

Infectious Disease Disinfection

When someone in a Highland household has had a serious infectious illness, or when a rental property needs clearance before re-occupancy, we provide full disinfection services. We use EPA-registered disinfectants appropriate for the specific pathogen involved, and we document the entire process for landlords, families, or property managers. Highland’s alluvial fan terrain means many homes sit slab-on-grade with no ventilation underneath, so aerosolized particles can linger in enclosed spaces longer than in homes with raised foundations. We treat each room as a contained space and verify results before we call the job done.

Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup

Tear gas residue bonds to drywall, carpet, and HVAC filters. Standard cleaning just smears it around. We neutralize the chemical agents, remove what can’t be cleaned, and replace filters so the home is actually safe to occupy again. Highland’s older homes often have original ductwork that’s never been sealed, which means tear gas can spread through the entire system quickly. We inspect and treat the full path of contamination, not just the room where the event happened.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland

We’re certified by the IICRC, affiliated with RIA, and recognized by IFA. Our equipment comes from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, the professional-grade gear you won’t find in a rental shop or a big-box store. Why does that matter for a Highland homeowner? Because the kind of compound contamination this area sees after debris flows, fires, and crime scenes demands equipment that actually works the first time. We don’t rent a Bissell and call it remediation. We bring commercial air scrubbers, injection drying systems, moisture meters, and HEPA vacuums rated for biohazard work. And Wade pulls moisture readings every single day on water-related jobs, then hands you the full log at the end. Almost nobody in this trade does that.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Highland Homes

• Ash-laden mud intrusion after burn-scar flooding. When the slopes above Highland burn, the first heavy rain pushes silty, hydrophobic residue into homes through garage doors and low-sill entries. That residue carries combustion byproducts and metals from the hillside. Standard water extraction leaves it behind, and you’ll still smell it months later. We treat it as hazmat, with HEPA scrubbing and removal of contaminated materials.
• Contaminated water trapped under slab-on-grade flooring. Highland’s 1970s to 1990s tract homes often sit directly on concrete with no subfloor ventilation. Blood, bodily fluids, or contaminated floodwater that migrates past flooring gets trapped against the slab, where it dries on the surface but stays active underneath. Removing the top layer isn’t enough. The concrete itself needs treatment.
• Rapid mold colonization in the semi-arid climate. People assume dry air means no mold. Wrong. When moisture intrudes into a Highland wall cavity and then the air dries out, the surface dries fast while the interior stays wet. Mold colonies can establish within days, long before anyone notices. After any biohazard or debris-flow event, we find hidden saturation with thermal imaging and moisture meters before it becomes a structural problem.
• Older original drywall and insulation that wick contamination upward. Homes in the flatter central parts of Highland often retain their original drywall and insulation from construction decades ago. That material acts like a sponge for blood, decomposition fluid, and contaminated water, pulling it upward through the wall. You have to remove what’s wetted, not just what’s visibly stained. Otherwise you’re leaving biological material inside the wall cavity that will smell and potentially cause serious health problems later.
