Spaulding Decon is a biohazard restoration specialist with a solid background in crime scenes, tear gas, meth lab, and hoarding cleanup services, as well as mold remediation. The brand started in the early 2000s when Kansas police officer Laura Spaulding witnessed the devastation of families cleaning up crime scenes while grieving.

Officer Spaulding helped families as a side job until 2005, when she decided to leave the police force and focus on crime cleanup. While starting as a one-woman show, Spaulding Decon hired its first batch of employees just a year later and soon started expanding its services. By 2015, Spaulding Decon had become the first nationally franchised crime scene, hoarding, and meth lab cleanup service in the United States.

There are now over 25 Spaulding Decon franchise locations throughout the United States.
