Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is the Marietta Choice for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Floodline Restoration Co. has served Marietta homeowners for years, and the calls we get tell a consistent story. A family on Roswell Road discovers an unattended death in a 1960s split-level. A landlord near Kennestone Hospital needs blood and bodily fluid cleanup after a tenant incident. A homeowner off Canton Road calls about a hoarding situation that’s been building for decades. These are not easy calls to make, and the last thing a Marietta family needs is a crew that treats their home like a generic job site. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They know what a 1950s ranch on a red-clay crawl space does to odor and pathogen persistence. That local knowledge changes how we scope the work.
We’re led by Curt Bowman, who founded this company in 2010 on a simple idea: answer the phone with a person, show up when you say you will, and stand behind the work in writing. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and we don’t soften its terms. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork battles.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team serves the full Marietta area, including 30008, 30060, 30061, and 30062. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, because we bring professional-grade equipment, the right containment plan, and the same certified crew from first assessment to final clearance.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Marietta
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Unattended death cleanup in Marietta’s older homes is a two-part job. The immediate work is decontamination: removing affected materials, treating porous surfaces, and clearing the air. The second part, the part generic cleaning companies miss, is addressing the moisture and ventilation conditions that made the odor so stubborn in the first place. A body decomposing in a 1960s split-level basement off Powder Springs Road behaves differently than one in a newer slab home, because the crawl space below keeps feeding humidity upward. We treat the event and the environment. Call (888) 832-2758 for a free estimate and a written scope before any work begins.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Blood and bodily fluid spills in Marietta homes require more than a strong cleaner. When blood soaks into original hardwood floors, subflooring, or the drywall cavities of a 1950s ranch on a crawl space, the biohazard load goes deeper than what’s visible. Our crews remove affected materials down to structure, apply hospital-grade disinfectants to stud cavities and subfloor, and run HEPA air scrubbers until air sampling clears. We won’t paint over a problem. We remove it.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations in Marietta’s older housing stock present a specific challenge: original galvanized supply lines and long-compromised plumbing often sit underneath years of accumulated material. Water leaks that would have been caught early in a newer home have been running silently for months or years. That means hoarding cleanup here routinely involves sewage and mold remediation alongside the removal and sorting work. We handle all of it with one crew, one plan, and one written scope agreed to before we start.
Infectious Disease Disinfection
Marietta’s humid subtropical climate, with summer heat near 90°F and sustained high relative humidity, means pathogens survive longer on surfaces and in the air than they would in a drier climate. Our infectious disease disinfection protocols account for that. We use EPA-registered disinfectants with the correct dwell times for local conditions, and in higher-risk scenarios we set up negative-air containment with Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 air scrubbers. We don’t rush the dwell time. That’s how disinfection actually works.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Crawl-space humidity makes biohazard odor worse. Marietta’s dominant postwar ranch and split-level stock sits on crawl spaces with degraded vapor barriers and red-clay drainage problems. Odors from a trauma or unattended death scene get pulled upward through the floor assembly and linger far longer than they would on a slab foundation.
- Plaster walls near Marietta Square defeat standard moisture meters. The balloon-frame and lathe-and-plaster structures around the historic Square hold moisture in wall cavities that drywall-calibrated meters can’t read accurately. We use different equipment and different protocols for these homes, because a missed damp pocket means residual biohazard residue and recurring odor.
- Sloped 30064 lots re-flood after cleanup. West Marietta split-levels graded into red-clay slopes often flood in the finished basement or bonus room each spring. If a crime scene cleanup happens in one of these basements without addressing the drainage, the same water intrusion brings the same contamination back six months later. We scope for both.
- Original galvanized supply lines complicate trauma cleanup. A 1950s ranch with original galvanized plumbing may have pinhole leaks behind walls during or before a biohazard event. Contaminated water spreads into wall cavities and under flooring, expanding the affected area beyond what’s visible. We check for this. Generic cleaners don’t.

Marietta’s Housing Stock Changes How Biohazard Cleanup Works
Most generic biohazard guides treat every home the same. They assume drywall, slab foundations, and modern ventilation. Marietta is different, and the difference matters. The city’s postwar residential explosion, driven by Lockheed’s aircraft plant at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, left dense tracts of 1950s-to-1970s ranch and split-level homes across the east and west sides. Those homes in 30060, 30062, and 30064 sit on crawl spaces with failed original vapor barriers and aging supply lines. Georgia’s expansive red clay swells under Marietta’s 52-plus annual inches of rain and channels stormwater toward foundations rather than absorbing it. The result: crawl-space moisture intrusion followed by rapid mold colonization is the defining damage scenario in this market.
What does that mean for biohazard cleanup specifically? It means the job is never just surface decontamination. A blood spill, an unattended death, a hoarding condition, all of these occur inside a building envelope that is actively moving moisture and odor through the structure. If we clean the visible area but ignore the crawl space below or the wall cavities around it, the odor returns. We’ve seen it happen. We were called to a 1960s split-level off Powder Springs Road in 30064 after an unattended death was discovered in a finished basement that had also flooded during spring storms. Our crew used Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 air scrubbers for negative pressure and containment, removed saturated drywall and contaminated carpet, and applied hospital-grade disinfectant to the stud cavities before installing new vapor barrier and sanitizing the crawl space, all in one trip so the family could begin closure. That’s the job. Both halves of it.
Near the historic Marietta Square, the older balloon-frame and lathe-and-plaster homes create a different problem. Plaster cavities trap moisture. Standard moisture meters calibrated for drywall give misleading readings. A crew that doesn’t know this will declare the wall dry and walk away, leaving biohazard residue festering inside the cavity. Our techs use different meters, different probes, and different drying protocols for these homes. It’s one reason local experience isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between a job done and a job that looks done.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Marietta
It affects it significantly. Crawl-space homes in this part of Marietta have higher relative humidity under the floor assembly, which means blood and bodily fluid residues penetrate more deeply into subflooring and produce stronger, longer-lasting odor. We typically need to remove flooring down to the joists, treat the crawl space itself, and run HEPA air scrubbers longer than we would on a slab foundation. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.
Yes, and we adjust our protocols for them. Balloon-frame and lathe-and-plaster construction has wall cavities that standard moisture meters misread, so we use different equipment and longer dwell times for disinfectants. We also check for hidden damp pockets where biohazard residue could persist. These homes need experienced hands, and that’s what we send.
Yes, and in west Marietta we often have to. Sloped red-clay lots along Powder Springs Road and Whitlock Avenue reverse their drainage pitch over decades of clay settlement, so finished basements flood repeatedly each spring. If a biohazard event happens in one of these basements, we scope the cleanup to include both the immediate decontamination and the underlying moisture intrusion. One crew, one trip, one written plan.
We extend disinfectant dwell times and run negative-air containment more aggressively during Marietta’s hot, humid months. Higher relative humidity means pathogens survive longer on surfaces and in the air, so we don’t rush the process. We use EPA-registered disinfectants applied at the correct concentration and dwell time for local conditions, then verify with clearance testing. For a specific scope on your property, call (888) 832-2758.
It typically is. Original galvanized supply lines in 1950s-to-1970s homes corrode from the inside out, producing pinhole leaks that go unnoticed under accumulated material for months or years. By the time we’re called, the hoarding situation often includes sewage, mold, and structural damage alongside the removal work. We handle all of it with one certified crew and a written scope agreed to before work starts.
