Call Wade directly at (888) 534-8116 and he’ll answer himself, day or night.
New Territory sits entirely inside the Brazos River floodplain, and that geography changes how we approach Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in ways a generic restoration outfit will miss. After Harvey, many lower-lying streets stayed under water for days after the rain stopped because the flat Gulf Coast plain has nowhere to drain. That means the biohazard work here often starts with standing floodwater carrying sewage, dead animals, and household chemicals, not just blood or trauma. You need a crew that understands both. That’s us.
Key Takeaways:
- Crime scene and trauma cleanup in New Territory runs $1,500-$5,000 for most contained scenes.
- Hoarding cleanup in this area’s slab-on-grade 1990s homes typically runs $2,500-$15,000+.
- Floodplain geography means biohazard contamination here is often sewage-born, not just blood-born.

Why Wade’s Restoration of Houston Is New Territory’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
We’ve worked enough jobs inside New Territory to know the difference between a straightforward cleanup and one that’s about to get complicated by water intrusion. The subdivision went up fast in the 1990s, so nearly every home is brick-veneer slab-on-grade with paper-faced drywall and carpet-over-concrete. Those materials wick floodwater aggressively. When a trauma or hoarding scene also involves saturating moisture, you need a crew that treats it as two jobs: biohazard removal and structural drying.
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and he’s still the one who picks up the phone at midnight. He’s not a call center. He’s not a franchise operator who’s never set foot on your street. He’s the owner, his name is on the truck, and he’s going to run into you again at the H-E-B. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it still works better than any warranty.
Every one of our biohazard jobs is documented with photos from the first walkthrough to the final wipe-down. We hand homeowners and adjusters the same record, so there’s no disagreement about what was found and what was done. For insurance claims, Wade talks to the adjuster directly. You never get stuck relaying messages between two sides.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in New Territory
Crime Scene Cleanup
Crime scenes in New Territory are complicated by the subdivision’s flat grade and storm-drain backup patterns. Blood and bodily fluids that would stay put in a drier, better-drained area can get carried further by water that backs up from storm drains during heavy rain. We treat every crime scene here as potentially cross-contaminated, which means containment barriers go up before anything else moves. After Harvey we saw what happens when that step gets skipped.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death in a slab-on-grade New Territory home presents a specific problem most people never consider. Bodily fluids soak through carpet and pad into the concrete itself, and if there’s been any prior water intrusion, the paper-faced drywall near the floor is already primed to absorb organic matter. We cut out affected flooring and drywall, treat the concrete with hospital-grade disinfectants, and run air scrubbers long enough that the home stops smelling like what happened there. You shouldn’t have to handle any of this yourself.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding jobs in this area almost always come with a second layer the family didn’t expect: mold behind the clutter. New Territory’s humid subtropical climate keeps indoor humidity high year-round, and when belongings sit against walls for years in a slab-on-grade home, the drywall behind those piles wicks moisture from the slab and outside air. We remove the clutter with respect for what it means to the people involved, but we also check those wall cavities and the OSB sheathing for microbial growth. Skipping that step is how you end up doing the same job twice.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Bloodborne pathogens are a real occupational hazard, not something to mop up with bleach. We follow IICRC standards for containment, removal, disinfection, and disposal. In New Territory specifically, we pay extra attention to concrete floors because blood seeps into the porous surface and needs enzymatic treatment, not just surface cleaning. Our crews mask, glove, and suit up for every job, and we dispose of all contaminated materials according to Texas regulations.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Territory
We run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz for drying and air scrubbing, Injectidry systems for hard-to-reach wall cavities, and B-Air air movers when a New Territory home needs aggressive ventilation after a biohazard job. We carry the consumables and replacement parts for these units on our trucks, so a 77487 job doesn’t stall because a filter or fitting needs to be ordered. For homeowners and adjusters, the brand names matter less than the fact that the equipment works when the humidity makes every hour count.
Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in New Territory Homes
- Post-flood biohazard contamination misdiagnosed as simple water damage. Sewage-borne pathogens stay in wall cavities after the visible water is gone, and the odor comes back weeks later. We moisture-map and test rather than assume the floodwater was clean.
- Hoarding cleanups delayed because hidden mold goes unnoticed. Carpet-over-concrete and OSB sheathing hold moisture against organic debris, and by the time the smell is obvious, structural damage has started. Slab edge inspection is standard on our hoarding jobs here.
- Crime or trauma scenes cross-contaminated by standing water. New Territory’s storm drains back up during heavy rain, spreading bloodborne material beyond the original area. We contain wider than the visible stain and treat the full path of water movement.
- Expansive clay soil shifting foundations after saturation. Prolonged flooding saturates the clay under New Territory slabs, and as it dries it contracts unevenly. Foundation cracks become pathways for contaminated water vapor, so we inspect and report them as part of the biohazard scope.
Pricing for Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in New Territory, TX
A contained crime scene or unattended death cleanup in New Territory typically runs $1,500-$3,500 when the affected area is one room and no floodwater is involved. Add water intrusion from the Brazos floodplain or a backed-up storm drain and that range climbs to $3,000-$5,000 because contaminated drywall removal and slab treatment enter the scope. Hoarding cleanups start around $2,500 for light clutter in a single room and go up from there - a full 1990s brick-veneer home with years of accumulation and hidden mold can reach $15,000+. Tear gas and chemical cleanup falls between $1,200-$4,000 depending on square footage and ventilation needs.
What moves the number: how far contamination has spread, whether floodwater or sewage is present, how much drywall and flooring must come out, and whether the clay soil has shifted the slab enough to warrant foundation inspection.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in New Territory
Standing floodwater in New Territory is rarely clean water. It carries sewage, dead animals, and household chemicals, and it spreads contamination far beyond the original source before it drains, which in this flat subdivision can take days. That means a biohazard cleanup here often requires removing waterlogged drywall and treating concrete before the actual biohazard work begins. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll scope the full picture, not just the visible stain.
Yes, and we’ve done it repeatedly in New Territory. Hoarding debris pressed against walls in a home that took Harvey water almost always means mold inside the wall cavities and under the carpet, so we run moisture mapping under slab edges and remove contaminated drywall after the clutter is cleared. The biohazard removal and the structural drying are treated as one job, which saves you the cost of hiring two companies. Estimates are free - call (888) 534-8116.
Blood and bodily fluids soak into the concrete itself, and in New Territory’s 1990s brick-veneer homes the paper-faced drywall near the floor wicks that moisture upward fast. We cut out affected flooring and drywall, treat the slab with enzymatic cleaners, and run air scrubbers until the odors are gone. A surface wipe-down in this housing stock wouldn’t do the job.
Call immediately. Fort Bend County’s humidity means mold colonization can start within 24-48 hours of water intrusion, and sewage-borne pathogens multiply faster in the heat. The earlier we start, the less drywall and flooring comes out and the lower the total cost. Wade answers his own phone at (888) 534-8116, 24/7, and he’ll tell you straight what needs to happen today and what can wait.
We do. Tear gas settles into drywall, carpet, and HVAC systems, and in a slab-on-grade home it lingers in the concrete pores. We ventilate aggressively, remove affected porous materials, and wipe down hard surfaces until air quality tests come back clean. If this happened in your New Territory home, call (888) 534-8116 for a walkthrough and written estimate.
One More Thing Before You Call
New Territory is a 1990s master-planned community built squarely in the Brazos River floodplain. When the river rises, lower-lying streets stay inundated for days because the flat Gulf Coast plain has nowhere to drain, and the water that finally recedes leaves behind sewage, dead animals, and chemicals soaked into paper-faced drywall and carpet-over-concrete. After a hoarding situation on one of the interior streets, our crew had to run aggressive moisture mapping under slab edges with Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers before we could even start biohazard removal. We sanitized every surface with hospital-grade disinfectants, pulled contaminated drywall, and checked for foundation cracks from the expansive clay shifting after saturation. That’s what proper biohazard work looks like in New Territory, and it’s the same standard we’ll bring to your door.
Every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s on the contract.
