Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is Lithia Springs’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Homeowners in Lithia Springs call us because we show up fast, work clean, and don’t disappear after the first invoice. Curt Bowman founded Floodline Restoration Co. in 2010 around a dispatch board and a simple promise: answer the phone, get there when you say you will, and stand behind the work in writing. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every biohazard job we handle in Lithia Springs. If something isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork battles, no arguing.
Our crews know the 1970s ranches and 1980s split-levels off routes like Skyview Drive, Veterans Memorial Highway, and the residential fingers branching toward Sweetwater Creek. We understand that a trauma scene in a Lithia Springs crawl space isn’t the same as one in a newer slab home in Austell. The clay soil holds moisture against foundation walls for days after a storm, and that changes how we inspect, clean, and verify a job is done. We also work directly with your insurance carrier, provide photo documentation for adjusters, and never leave you playing messenger between us and the company writing the check.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Lithia Springs
Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement releases a scene, the family is left with a home that still holds blood, bodily fluids, and sometimes chemical residue from fingerprint dusting or tear gas. We handle the full cleanup in Lithia Springs: removing affected materials, disinfecting surfaces, and returning the space to a condition your family can safely re-enter. Technicians certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards do the work, and we document every step so there’s a clear record for insurance purposes.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a Lithia Springs home often means fluids have had days to seep into subflooring, baseboards, and in older crawl-space homes, down through gaps in the original vapor barrier. We don’t just clean the visible area. We inspect what’s underneath, because red clay soil and low-lying lots in the Sweetwater Creek watershed mean moisture and biological material travel further than you’d expect. Our crews remove contaminated materials, HEPA-vacuum affected framing, and apply hospital-grade disinfectants before any restoration begins.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup in Lithia Springs is rarely just about removing items. In homes built between the 1970s and 2000s with original ductwork, hoarded materials often hide rodent and insect activity, fecal contamination, and mold growth inside HVAC lines. We sort, remove, and clean with respect for the person involved, and we sanitize the ductwork so the biohazard doesn’t return three weeks later. Our technicians wear full PPE and work in sections, keeping the rest of the house sealed off during the process.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood cleanup requires more than bleach and a mop. Bloodborne pathogens can survive for days on porous surfaces, and in Lithia Springs homes with crawl spaces, fluids can migrate through floor penetrations and into the soil below. We remove contaminated materials to the studs where necessary, disinfect all affected surfaces, and verify the job with moisture and ATP testing so you’re not left guessing whether the room is actually clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lithia Springs
Our techs use professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER on biohazard jobs throughout Lithia Springs. For air scrubbing and HEPA filtration, Dri-Eaz negative air machines pull contaminated air out while we work. Phoenix axial fans and dehumidifiers handle drying after disinfectant application. XPOWER air movers get into tight crawl spaces under 1970s ranches where moisture lingers. Because we stock parts and filters for these systems locally, we don’t lose a day waiting on a shipment when a Lithia Springs job needs to move faster.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Lithia Springs Homes
- Hidden crawl space contamination. Blood or bodily fluids from a trauma scene seep through carpet and subfloor into the crawl space below. In Lithia Springs, aging vapor barriers on 1970s-era homes often have gaps that let fluids move further, creating odor and mold issues that resurface weeks after a surface-only cleanup.
- Delayed tear gas cleanup after winter break-ins. Vacant rentals near the I-20 corridor get broken into during February ice storms, and tear gas or chemical deterrents sometimes get deployed. If neutralization is delayed, the residue bonds with drywall and requires full replacement instead of a simple odor treatment. We’re called to Lithia Springs properties for this more often than people realize.
- HVAC contamination in hoarding situations. Original ductwork in Lithia Springs tract homes from the 1970s through 2000s often runs under the house where rodents and moisture collect. When hoarding creates a haven for pests, fecal matter and dander get pulled into the HVAC system. Without duct cleaning and sanitizing, the smell and the biohazard return within weeks.
- Post-storm moisture revealing latent biohazards. Lithia Springs sits in the Sweetwater Creek watershed, and homes on low-lying lots see hydrostatic pressure push moisture through slab seams and foundation joints after heavy rains. That trapped moisture can reactivate old contamination or feed new mold growth in materials that looked dry after a previous cleanup.

Hoarding cleanup with animal waste and duct contamination commonly lands between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on square footage and how much needs to be removed.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Lithia Springs
The telltale signs are persistent odor, staining on subflooring from below, or moisture readings that don’t return to normal even after the visible area is cleaned. In Lithia Springs specifically, homes built before 1980 on crawl spaces often have vapor barriers with small tears, and fluids from a trauma scene can seep through floor penetrations and into the soil beneath. The only way to confirm is to inspect the crawl space directly with a moisture meter and ATP testing. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll send a tech who knows what to look for under a 1970s ranch.
Yes, and it’s common in Lithia Springs because the red clay holds water against foundation walls for days after rain stops. That lingering moisture feeds mold and bacterial growth inside wall cavities and along baseboards even after the surface looks dry. If the smell is musty or earthy, you’re likely dealing with secondary microbial growth, not just stale air. We can test and clean it, and we’ll give you a written scope before any work starts.
We do. Animal hoarding situations add feces, urine, and sometimes deceased animals to the cleanup, and in Lithia Springs homes with original ductwork, those contaminants often get pulled through the HVAC system and recirculated. We clean the living space, sanitize the ducts, and replace contaminated insulation where necessary. Our crew wears full PPE and works in sealed sections so the rest of the house isn’t exposed during the process.
You have days, not weeks. Tear gas residue starts bonding with drywall and porous surfaces within 48 to 72 hours, especially in a humid Lithia Springs crawl-space or slab home. Once bonded, you’re looking at full drywall replacement instead of surface neutralization and odor treatment. Call us the same day you discover it and we can often save the walls.
Yes. We seal off the affected area with containment barriers, run negative air machines to pull contaminated air out, and work through a designated entry point so the rest of the house stays clean. In crawl-space homes, we also access the area below the affected room to check for fluid migration and treat it before we close everything back up. The family can typically re-enter the home the same day we finish.
