This is not work you should attempt yourself. Blood, bodily fluids, and decomposing tissue carry bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team is IICRC-certified, background-checked, and equipped to handle what’s in front of you safely, thoroughly, and with the discretion your family deserves.

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

Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and has never operated like a franchise. His name is on the truck, his address is published, and he is going to run into you again at Diablo Foods or the Lafayette Reservoir on a Saturday morning. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why homeowners in Lafayette call us when the situation is too serious for a national outfit.

Lafayette’s homes are not interchangeable with the rest of the East Bay. A 1960s split-level on a downslope lot off Moraga Road presents a completely different access and containment problem than a flatland rancher in Concord. Our crews have worked these streets long enough to know that a job in Lafayette often means carrying sealed waste containers up or down dozens of exterior stairs, running negative air machines through tight floor plans, and coordinating with adjusters who understand what a $1.8M home’s custom millwork costs to replace. We bring that local knowledge to every job.

Response time to Lafayette is typically 2-4 hours from your first call. That matters when you’re dealing with an unattended death, a crime scene, or an infectious disease concern, and the clock is working against you. One call brings Wade out. Not a call center, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Lafayette

Crime Scene Cleanup

When Lafayette PD or the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office releases a scene back to the property owner, the cleanup responsibility shifts to you. Crime scenes in Lafayette homes often involve blood or bodily fluid contamination on porous surfaces, hardwood, drywall, or upholstery that can’t simply be wiped down. We remove affected materials, disinfect all adjacent surfaces, and document everything with photos for your insurance claim.

Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup

Unattended death cleanup in Lafayette typically runs $2,500-$7,000 depending on how long the body was undiscovered and what materials were affected. In a Lafayette split-level, decomposition fluids often seep through carpet and pad into the subfloor, and odor migrates through shared crawl spaces and HVAC ducts into rooms that appear untouched. We contain the affected area with negative air pressure before removing anything, so the odor doesn’t spread through the rest of the house.

Hoarding Cleanup

Hoarding cleanup in a Lafayette hillside home comes with access challenges that flatland companies rarely plan for. Steep driveways, no street parking, and narrow side yards mean every bag of debris has to be carried out by hand. We have done this on winding streets in Happy Valley and along Reliez Valley Road, where there is nowhere to stage a dumpster at the curb. We bring the crew size needed to move material efficiently without creating a second problem for your neighbors.

Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup

Blood and bodily fluid cleanup after an accident, injury, or medical event requires more than bleach and a mop. Porous materials like carpet, pad, drywall, and upholstery must be cut out and disposed of as regulated medical waste, and all remaining surfaces disinfected following IICRC standards. In Lafayette’s post-WWII ranches and splits, we regularly see contamination that has wicked into particleboard subfloors and original hardwood, which requires more aggressive removal than a standard cleaning can address.

Infectious Disease Disinfection

When someone brings MRSA, C. diff, COVID, or another serious pathogen into a Lafayette home, the disinfection has to be done right the first time. We use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants, dwell times per label instructions, and containment protocols that prevent cross-contamination into occupied rooms. During Lafayette’s hot summer months, when interior temperatures can sit in the 90s for days, pathogen viability and odor spread accelerate quickly, so we prioritize these calls.

Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup

Tear gas cleanup after a home invasion or law enforcement action leaves microscopic particles embedded in walls, carpets, ductwork, and furniture. It’s not something you can air out with open windows. We use HEPA air scrubbers and surface-specific cleaning agents to remove tear gas residue without pushing it deeper into your home’s materials. In Lafayette’s custom homes with sealed duct runs and high-end finishes, this is work that demands the right equipment and a methodical process.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lafayette

We are an IICRC-certified firm, affiliated with the RIA, and our crews run Dri-Eaz HEPA air scrubbers, XPOWER negative air machines, and other professional-grade equipment you won’t find at a rental counter. When a Lafayette homeowner asks what equipment we’re bringing, we can show them. We stock the filters, bags, and consumables needed to keep a biohazard job moving without a supply run back to the Bay Area office. That means less time with your house open, and less time you’re waiting.

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

• Bioaerosol migration in tight split-level floor plans. In a 1960s split-level, the living space is often only a few steps and one door away from the affected area. Without negative air pressure and sealed doorways, odors and pathogens creep into occupied rooms and ductwork in hours, not days. We set containment before we start disturbing materials.
• Disposal logistics on sloped lots with no street frontage. Lafayette hillside homes frequently have no place to stage a dumpster or park a removal truck. Every biohazardous waste container has to be hand-carried down exterior stairs or along narrow side yards. We plan the removal path before we start, so waste never sits unsanctioned at the curb in violation of Lafayette’s municipal code.
• Delayed infectious disease disinfection in summer heat. Lafayette’s inland valley location pushes summer temperatures into the 95-105°F range. Elevated interior heat accelerates bacterial growth and odor spread before containment is established. If you suspect an infectious disease concern, call the same day, not next week.
• High-value finishes that require careful documentation. When a Lafayette home with custom cabinetry and site-finished hardwood is involved in a biohazard event, the insurance claim isn’t a simple line item. We photograph and document every affected material before removal, because your adjuster will ask for proof, and because replacing $1.5M-$2M worth of custom millwork isn’t a guess.
