Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Spring Lake Park’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and his name is on the truck. His phone number is published. He lives in the Twin Cities metro and answers his own phone at 2 a.m. when a family in Spring Lake Park calls because a loved one passed away and they don’t know what to do. That’s not a marketing line. That’s how we operate.
Spring Lake Park is a small city. Roughly one square mile, almost all 1950s through 1970s ramblers and split-levels. People here know their neighbors. They ask around before letting anyone inside. That’s smart, and it’s exactly why we’re a good fit. Ask anyone who’s used us in Spring Lake Park. They’ll tell you the crew showed up in uniforms, wore proper PPE, treated the family with respect, and documented everything for the insurance adjuster.
We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and we use professional-grade equipment from companies like B-Air and Injectidry. But more than credentials, we understand Spring Lake Park’s specific housing stock. Those split-levels with the cantilevered mid-level overhang? That’s where biohazard fluids hide when no one looks. Out-of-area crews miss it constantly. We don’t.
One call brings Wade back. Every job has the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something wasn’t handled correctly, we make it right. No argument, no fine print.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Spring Lake Park
We handle the full range of biohazard work in Spring Lake Park, from trauma scenes to infectious disease disinfection. Here’s what most families in the 55432 zip code call us for.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement releases the scene, someone has to restore the space. We work directly with Spring Lake Park families and their insurance companies to remove blood, bodily fluids, and any contaminated materials. We follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and use EPA-registered disinfectants. We also handle the documentation your adjuster will ask for.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
This is the hardest call, and the one we treat with the most care. Decomposition fluids seep through hardwood, subfloor, and into the cavities below. In Spring Lake Park’s older split-levels, those fluids often travel into the under-insulated cantilevered band joist area, a hidden pocket that out-of-area crews routinely miss. Moisture trapped there also creates conditions that require Mold Remediation in Spring Lake Park if not addressed promptly. We open that cavity, remove the contaminated material, and treat it properly.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in Spring Lake Park usually involves small lots and tight access. We’ll work with you or a family member to sort through what’s salvageable, remove debris, and disinfect the home. We’re not here to judge. We’re here to help you get your house back.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Bloodborne pathogens don’t stop being dangerous because the surface looks dry. We remove contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, and subfloor as needed, then treat the structure with hospital-grade disinfectant. If the affected area is in a basement finished with 1970s paneling, that paneling comes out. It absorbs moisture aggressively and can’t be reliably disinfected in place.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
For COVID-19, MRSA, norovirus, and other pathogens, we provide whole-home or targeted disinfection using EPA List N products. This is a common request from Spring Lake Park families bringing a loved one home from the hospital or after a death in the home.
Tear Gas & Chemical Cleanup
Tear gas residue bonds to walls, carpet, and ductwork. We use specialized cleaning agents and HEPA filtration to remove the residue rather than just masking it. This matters in Spring Lake Park because those 1950s ramblers often have original ductwork that spreads chemical irritants through every room.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Spring Lake Park Homes
- Hidden bio-burden in cantilevered band joists: Split-levels built in the late 1960s and early 1970s have a mid-level floor that overhangs the wall below. That under-insulated pocket catches decomposition fluids, and crews who don’t know this floor plan era miss it entirely. We open it, inspect it, and treat it on every affected split-level.
- Odor migration through shared wall cavities: Spring Lake Park’s ramblers are tightly spaced, and interior walls often share dead air space. Without proper negative air pressure and containment, odors from an unattended death or hoarding situation spread to adjacent rooms, sometimes to the whole house. We set up HEPA-filtered negative air on every job before we start opening walls.
- Water-based extraction on 1950s vinyl-asbestos tile: Many Spring Lake Park basements still have original vinyl-asbestos tile from the 1950s and 1960s. Using water-based extraction methods on that tile can release asbestos fibers into the air. We test, we avoid disturbing it when possible, and we contain it when we must.
- 1970s paneling that absorbs fluids: Basements finished with old wood paneling soak up blood and decomposition fluids like a sponge. Surface cleaning isn’t adequate. That paneling and whatever’s behind it usually has to come out, and we’ll tell you that straight instead of pretending a wipe-down was enough.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Spring Lake Park, MN
Here are honest numbers for the Spring Lake Park market. A trauma or unattended death cleanup in a typical rambler or split-level runs $1,800 to $4,500 depending on how far fluids have migrated and whether structural materials need removal.

Hoarding cleanup varies the most, but for a modest Spring Lake Park home with one to three rooms affected, expect $2,500 to $8,000. Infectious disease disinfection of a whole home typically runs $800 to $1,500.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Spring Lake Park
Older split-levels, especially those built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, have a cantilevered band joist under the upper floor that is almost always under-insulated, and decomposition fluids travel into that cavity fast. A crew that doesn’t open and inspect that area will leave bio-burden behind, and the odor returns in weeks. We inspect and treat that cavity on every split-level biohazard job in Spring Lake Park. Call (888) 690-6095 to schedule an assessment.
Yes, especially in Spring Lake Park’s tightly spaced rambler neighborhoods where homes sit close together and interior wall cavities connect to shared framing. Odor migrates through wall cavities and attic spaces quickly. Proper containment with HEPA-filtered negative air pressure is non-negotiable for these jobs. We set that up before any demolition begins. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll explain exactly what’s needed for your home.
The paneling has to come out. 1970s wood paneling is porous and absorbs blood, fluids, and odor deeply enough that no surface disinfectant will reach it all. We remove the paneling and any contaminated insulation behind it, treat the framing, and rebuild. It costs more than a surface cleaning, but it’s the only way to actually eliminate the odor and pathogen load. Call (888) 690-6095 for a free estimate on what your basement specifically needs.
Under 90 minutes in most cases, and often faster. Wade answers his own phone around the clock, and because we’re based in the Twin Cities metro and serve Spring Lake Park regularly, a crew can be on the road within minutes of your call. If law enforcement has already released the scene, we can start immediately. Call (888) 690-6095 any time, day or night.
Yes. Ramblers in Spring Lake Park often have shared wall cavities between bedrooms and living spaces, and the attics are rarely air-sealed. Without proper negative air pressure and containment zoning, biohazard odors spread through the whole house, sometimes into the neighbor’s house. We set up containment that accounts for the entire structure, not just the room where the event happened. Call (888) 690-6095 for an on-site assessment.
What Makes Biohazard Cleanup in Spring Lake Park Different
Spring Lake Park is a fully built-out, roughly one-square-mile suburb in Anoka County. There’s essentially no new construction. The housing stock is almost entirely modest post-WWII ramblers and split-levels built between roughly 1952 and 1978, many with original galvanized supply lines, unimproved attic insulation, and basements finished with materials that absorb moisture and fluids aggressively. When a biohazard event happens in one of these homes, it doesn’t stay on the surface. It migrates through original hardwood, into subfloor, and into the under-insulated cavities that these homes are full of.
That compact footprint also means homes sit close together. Odor and aerosol containment on a Spring Lake Park lot is a different problem than it is in Blaine’s larger, newer subdivisions. We account for shared walls, small side yards, and neighbors who are sometimes 15 feet away. Containment isn’t optional here. It’s the difference between a clean job and a problem that spreads.
We recently handled an unattended death cleanup in a 1960s split-level off Able Street NE, where decomposition fluids had seeped through the original hardwood into the under-insulated cantilevered band joist area. Our crew removed the affected drywall and subfloor, treated the cavity with an EPA-registered disinfectant, and installed temporary containment with HEPA-filtered negative air to keep odors from migrating into the adjacent mid-level wall. That’s the kind of thing a generic biohazard crew won’t catch, because they don’t know what a Spring Lake Park split-level looks like behind the drywall.
If you’re in Spring Lake Park and you’re facing a biohazard situation, call (888) 690-6095. Wade or someone from his team will answer immediately. We’ll give you a straight answer about what’s needed, a written scope before any work starts, and we’ll handle the insurance documentation so you’re not stuck relaying information between us and your adjuster. No runaround. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
