Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is New Brighton’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his name on the truck. He still answers his own phone. In New Brighton, that’s not a marketing line, it’s how business gets done. When a family on 5th Street NW needs trauma cleanup after a death, they don’t want a call center in another state routing them through menus. They want a real person who says, “I’ll be there myself.” That’s Wade.
Our New Brighton customers hire us because we document everything: moisture readings, affected-material logs, and a written scope before work starts. That last part matters most. The national outfits quote low over the phone, then hand you a different number once a crew is inside. We give you the number on paper, agreed before we unload a single piece of equipment. And every job gets our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. Simple as that.
Response time to New Brighton is real. From our Minneapolis-St Paul office, a crew is typically on the road to your door in under an hour, including evenings and weekends. That’s not a guarantee of a clock time. It’s a promise that a live person answers, Wade has your address, and someone who does this work every day is headed your way.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in New Brighton
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a New Brighton home is one of the hardest calls we take, and also one of the most common. The body may not be found for days, sometimes longer. By then, fluids have moved into flooring, baseboards, and, in many New Brighton split-levels and ramblers, behind the lower-level wood paneling that was installed directly over concrete. We remove affected materials, not just surface-clean them. That’s the difference between a job that’s actually done and one that smells fine until the next humid week in August.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood doesn’t stay where it lands. In New Brighton’s slab-on-grade ramblers and tuck-under-garage homes, it seeps into expansion joints and along the slab-to-wall seam. You can wipe the floor clean and still have a biohazard under the surface, reactivating with spring moisture. Our crews cut and remove affected concrete sections when needed, treat the area with EPA-registered disinfectant, and run air scrubbers until third-party clearance is clean. We don’t mask it. We remove it.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding jobs in New Brighton are almost always complicated by the house itself. Split-levels from the 1960s have narrow stairways, low ceilings in the lower level, and original wood paneling that absorbs years of odor. We come through with a plan that respects what the family is going through while clearing the path to safe, clean, habitable space. Sorting for valuables, documenting everything for the adjuster, and working room by room. This is not a dumpster-and-go job. It’s a careful, methodical restoration of a home someone still lives in.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
When someone in a New Brighton household has been through something like MRSA, C. diff, norovirus, or COVID, a regular cleaning isn’t enough. We use hospital-grade disinfectants applied with fogging and direct-contact protocols, following IICRC standards. For homes near Silver Lake and Long Lake with older carpet over concrete, we often recommend removal rather than treatment. You can’t fog away what’s living in the pad.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in New Brighton Homes
- Odor locked inside lower-level wood paneling. New Brighton’s 1955-1978 split-levels and ramblers often have paneling glued or nailed directly to concrete. Fluids wick behind it and stay there. Surface cleaning won’t touch it. Panel removal and slab treatment are routinely required.
- Blood in slab expansion joints. Slab-on-grade floors in tuck-under-garage ramblers have joints that collect blood and other fluids. If not cut and removed, residue lingers and resurfaces with freeze-thaw cycles pushing moisture up through the concrete.
- Asbestos-containing materials in the cleanup zone. Floor tiles, pipe insulation, and ceiling texture common in pre-1978 New Brighton homes can be disturbed during an incident. EPA renovation rules require testing and handling before restoration work proceeds. We coordinate that before we cut anything.
- Slow seepage behind walls near Silver Lake and Long Lake. Lots near the lakes sit with high seasonal water tables. What looks like a single event often reveals years of moisture behind paneling, compounding odor and mold issues during a biohazard job.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in New Brighton
Because most New Brighton homes were built between 1955 and 1978, and the construction details from that era absorb fluids and odor in ways newer drywall-and-stud homes don’t. Wood paneling over concrete traps contamination behind it, slab-on-grade floors wick fluids into joints, and original cast-iron drains slow the drying process. A job that takes two days in a newer Blaine or Shoreview build could take four or five in a 1960s New Brighton rambler. Call (888) 690-6095 for an assessment specific to your home, and we’ll tell you the truth about timeline before you commit to anything.
We stop and test before we cut or remove anything suspicious. Vinyl floor tiles, pipe wrap, and ceiling texture from the pre-1978 era are common in New Brighton homes and fall under EPA renovation rules when disturbed. We coordinate with licensed asbestos professionals, document everything for your insurance file, and don’t proceed with demolition until the area is cleared. This is a legal requirement, not an upsell, and ignoring it can stall your claim and your cleanup. We’ll walk you through it directly with your adjuster.
We cut it out. Surface disinfectant won’t reach what’s in the expansion joint or the slab-to-wall seam. For slab-on-grade tuck-under garages, this usually means saw-cutting the affected section, removing the contaminated concrete, treating the sub-slab area, and repouring fresh. It sounds aggressive, but it’s the only way to actually remove the biohazard. Anything less leaves residue that resurfaces with moisture. Our crews have done this dozens of times in New Brighton and the surrounding northeast metro.
Yes, and we’re set up for exactly that. Split-levels from the 1960s have tight stairwells, lower-level ceilings under seven feet, and paneling that holds odor. We use small hand-carried equipment, work room by room, and protect the path so we’re not dragging debris through the rest of the house. Sorting, documentation, and odor control are all part of the scope. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will walk the job with you before any work starts.
In most cases, yes, if the event is a covered peril like a death, crime, or New Brighton Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration situation. Some policies have sub-limits, and hoarding cleanup coverage varies widely. We document everything photographically, communicate directly with your adjuster, and provide the written records they need to process the claim. You won’t be the one relaying messages between two sides. Wade deals with the adjuster. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll help you understand your coverage before you authorize anything.
If you’re dealing with a biohazard situation in New Brighton right now, you don’t need to figure this out alone. Call (888) 690-6095. Wade answers. He’ll tell you what he’d do if it were his house, give you a straight number, and be on the road to you fast. No voicemail, no runaround, no corporate script. That’s how we’ve done it since 2007.
