Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is Clarkston’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Clarkston’s housing is different from the rest of DeKalb County, and we’ve learned that through years of steady work here. The garden-apartment complexes off Montreal Road and Ponce de Leon Avenue that define the city were built between the 1960s and early 1980s. When a biohazard event happens in one of those units, the shared utility chases and original plumbing mean contamination doesn’t always stay contained. Our crews know to check what’s behind the wall, not just what’s on the floor.
We’re led by Curt Bowman, who founded Floodline in 2010 on a simple principle: answer the phone and stand behind the work. Every technician we send into Clarkston is background-checked, uniformed, and certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They document what they find with photos, write out a scope before touching anything, and they don’t pressure you into work you don’t need.
Response time to Clarkston matters. When a biohazard scene sits, the risks compound, whether that’s blood-borne pathogens on a kitchen floor or a unit left unattended for weeks near Clarkston High School. We move fast. Dispatch is live 24/7, and a crew can usually reach Clarkston within the hour during an active situation. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job we do in Clarkston, which means if it isn’t right, we make it right in writing, no arguing.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Clarkston
Our full Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team handles the range of situations Clarkston property owners and managers face. Four services come up most often here.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement clears a scene, the property still holds biological material that’s a health hazard. In Clarkston’s apartment buildings, we routinely find that crime scenes in one unit require checking adjacent units through shared plumbing and wall cavities. We remove contaminated materials, disinfect to hospital standards, and restore the space so tenants or families can return. Documentation is photo-logged for insurance from the first walkthrough.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
When someone passes alone in a Clarkston apartment, the discovery often comes days or weeks later. Neighbors notice an odor, or a wellness check gets requested. The result in Clarkston’s humid climate is decomposition fluids that have soaked into subflooring and drywall. We handle the full scope with the same steady, technical approach: containment, removal of affected building materials, structural drying, and complete deodorization. We never rush this work, and we treat every scene with the dignity it deserves.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations in Clarkston’s aging garden apartments often involve units where maintenance requests stopped getting filed years ago. We work with property managers and, when appropriate, social services or family members to clear the unit safely. This isn’t a junk haul. We sort, document, remove biohazards like spoiled food and animal waste, and reconnect the tenant or owner with what matters. Our uniformed technicians respect the person’s story while restoring the home to a safe condition.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Whether it’s from an injury, an accident, or a medical event, blood and bodily fluids introduce hepatitis, HIV, and other pathogens that standard cleaning products won’t address. We use professional-grade disinfectants, proper PPE, and full containment protocols. In Clarkston, we’ve handled everything from single-unit kitchen incidents to entire apartments where cleanup had been delayed for weeks. The goal is always the same: make the space safe and documented, with a written scope so no one gets surprised by the bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clarkston
Our crews run equipment from brands we’d trust in our own homes: Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and B-Air. In Clarkston’s older apartment stock, that matters. Low-slope roofs and original ventilation systems mean moisture lingers longer, and air movement becomes the difference between a week of drying and a hidden mold problem six months later. We keep our equipment maintained and ready, and we stock the consumables needed for Clarkston jobs, from containment film to hospital-grade disinfectants. Fast turnaround means less downtime for the unit and a cleaner claim for the owner or manager.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Clarkston Homes
- Delayed discovery in aging apartments: Many of Clarkston’s garden complexes off Montreal Road were built in the 1960s and 1970s. In units with original plumbing and shared utility chases, a biohazard event in one apartment can go unnoticed until odor seeps into a neighboring unit, expanding the scope beyond the original room.
- Humidity that accelerates contamination: Clarkston gets over 50 inches of rain a year, and summer humidity above 85% is normal. Blood and decomposition fluids don’t dry in that environment. They saturate subfloors and wall cavities, and within 48 to 72 hours, mold starts moving in behind the biohazard. Our crews have to treat both problems at once.
- Multi-unit containment challenges: In buildings with older construction, odor and aerosolized particles travel through wall chases and under doors. We set negative air pressure and full containment, not just in the affected unit but in adjoining ones when floor plans share mechanical chase space.
- Language and reporting barriers: Clarkston is home to residents speaking dozens of languages, and property damage sometimes goes unreported because a tenant doesn’t know who to call or can’t communicate the issue to a manager. By the time we’re called, the scene is often more complex than it needed to be. We’re ready for that reality and staff our Clarkston jobs accordingly.
