Fast, Reliable Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Across Edina
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Edina requires more than disinfectant and gloves. It requires understanding the city’s housing stock, particularly the pre-war homes in the Country Club District where horsehair plaster and original millwork change how you contain, treat, and document a scene. We respond to Edina calls 24 hours a day and can typically have a crew on site within 60 to 90 minutes depending on where you are in 55424. If you’re dealing with a trauma scene, unattended death, or blood spill, call (888) 690-6095 right now and Wade will answer.
Wade’s Restoration is locally owned and owner-operated. Wade Ferris founded the company in 2007, publishes his name and address, and answers his own phone. That matters when you’re letting someone into your home during the worst week of your life.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Edina’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Edina homeowners tend to ask harder questions than most. Wade has spent years working in the Country Club District, the rambler neighborhoods east of Highway 100, and the newer builds near Centennial Lakes. He knows that a 1928 Tudor off Interlachen Boulevard has different wall assemblies than a 1972 split-level near Pamela Park, and that both need different containment strategies than a 2018 custom home off France Avenue. That local knowledge shows up in the scope of work and in how the job gets done.
The people Wade sends are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC standards. They carry professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. They document everything with photos and daily logs. And when they open a wall in a Country Club District home, they know what knob-and-tube wiring looks like and why it needs to be flagged before any remediation scope is finalized.
Wade and his team answer calls from Edina at all hours. No answering service. No call center. You get Wade on the phone, and he’ll be the one giving you a straight answer about what the job involves and what it will cost.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Edina
We handle the full range of Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup work in Edina. Here’s what that looks like for the homes we see most often in this city.
Crime Scene Cleanup
Crime scenes in Edina are rare, which means when one happens, families are usually unprepared for what cleanup actually involves. Blood, bodily fluids, fingerprint dust, and sometimes tear gas all have to be removed, sanitized, and documented. In older Edina homes, we’re often working around materials that can’t just be torn out and replaced. Horsehair plaster wicks fluids differently than drywall, so containment and dwell times have to be adjusted. We handle the cleanup, the disposal, and the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in an Edina home is something no family should have to manage alone. Decomposition fluids move through flooring, subfloor, and wall cavities quickly, especially in the warm summer months when humidity in the Twin Cities runs high. In a 1930s Colonial Revival near the country club, that often means fluids have reached the original wood lath behind the plaster. We contain the scene, remove affected materials, and treat the framing. We also coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster so you’re not the one relaying technical details back and forth.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations in Edina’s 1950s and 1960s ramblers come with a complication many companies miss: asbestos. Floor tiles from that era, insulation in attic spaces, and even some drywall compounds test positive. Before we disturb materials in a hoarding cleanup, we test where needed and adjust the scope. We also work with the homeowner and family at a pace that’s respectful, not rushed. The goal is to clear the home safely and make it livable again without causing additional trauma.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood spills from accidents, assaults, or medical events require more than bleach and paper towels. Bloodborne pathogens like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV can survive on surfaces for days. In Edina homes with high-end carpet, custom wood floors near Centennial Lakes, or original oak flooring in the Country Club District, we take extra care to preserve what can be saved while fully removing what can’t. Every job gets a final sanitation verification and photo documentation for your records and your insurer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edina
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Edina work often involves equipment and materials from brands Edina homeowners already know. We run Phoenix and Dri-Eaz drying and air-scrubbing systems on mitigation and remediation jobs, and we stock XPOWER air movers and B-Air filtration units for containment setups. When a job in a 55424 home requires HEPA filtration, negative air pressure, or precise humidity control around delicate finishes, we bring the right gear the first time, not whatever happens to be on the truck.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Edina Homes
- Horsehair plaster complicates moisture and pathogen mapping. In the Country Club District, walls aren’t drywall. Horsehair plaster holds moisture differently and can conceal fluids in ways that standard moisture meters miss. We adjust our drying and decontamination protocols accordingly.
- Knob-and-tube wiring hidden behind lath-and-plaster walls. Opening a wall in a 1920s Edina home for trauma cleanup can expose live knob-and-tube wiring. We flag it before remediation begins and coordinate with electricians when needed.
- Aggressive chemical fogging damages luxury finishes. Homes near Centennial Lakes often have smart-home sensors, premium HVAC components, and finishes that can’t tolerate indiscriminate chemical fogging. We scope containment carefully and choose decontamination methods that won’t destroy what shouldn’t be replaced.
- Asbestos in 1950s through 1970s ramblers. Floor tiles, insulation, and some drywall compounds from this era test positive for asbestos. We test before disturbing materials in hoarding or trauma cleanups and bring in licensed abatement when the scope requires it.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Edina, MN
A typical blood or bodily fluid cleanup in Edina runs $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the size of the affected area and the surfaces involved. Trauma and unattended death cleanup in Edina typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 when decomposition fluids have moved into subfloor or framing.

Tear gas cleanup in a finished Edina basement is usually $2,500 to $6,000 because of how thoroughly the particulate embeds in carpet, HVAC, and soft surfaces.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Edina
Horsehair plaster absorbs fluids and pathogens differently than drywall, which means standard moisture mapping can miss contamination and standard dwell times for disinfectants won’t fully neutralize pathogens in the porous surface. We extend dwell times, adjust drying protocols, and use negative air pressure to control airborne particulates while preserving the plaster where possible. If you’re dealing with a biohazard situation in a pre-war Edina home, call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll assess what’s actually needed.
Yes, in many cases. Edina’s Country Club District has deed restrictions and historic character that can affect what gets removed and what must be restored. We coordinate with the homeowner, the adjuster, and any preservation consultant involved so the remediation doesn’t create a bigger loss than the original incident. Wade has worked in these homes for years and knows what questions to ask before the first wall is opened.
We test suspect materials like floor tile, insulation, and drywall compound before disturbing them. If asbestos is present, we bring in a licensed abatement contractor for that portion of the job and sequence the work so the hoarding cleanup can proceed safely around it. This is a common situation in Edina’s central and eastern rambler neighborhoods, and it’s one we’ve managed many times. Call (888) 690-6095 if you’re facing a hoarding situation in an older Edina home.
Tear gas particulate embeds itself in carpet fibers, drywall, HVAC ductwork, and soft furnishings, and it reactivates with humidity, which matters in homes near Nine Mile Creek where ambient moisture runs higher. We seal the HVAC system, use HEPA filtration, and run controlled vapor remediation to pull the irritant out of surfaces rather than just masking it. This job requires specific equipment and experience, and we’re set up for it.
Yes. In newer Edina homes with smart-home sensors, integrated HVAC, and premium finishes, we coordinate remediation with system restoration so your home’s systems aren’t damaged by aggressive decontamination methods. We can scope containment to protect electronics, run air scrubbing instead of wet fogging where needed, and document everything for your insurer. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will walk you through the plan.
