Spaulding Deconis a premier franchise specializing in biohazard remediation and crime scene cleanup services. Founded in 2005 by former police officer Laura Spaulding in Tampa, Florida, the company was created to assist families during their most difficult moments.
Recognizing a need in the market, Spaulding Decon began franchising in 2015, becoming the first nationally franchised decontamination service in the United States.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Spaulding Decon offers a wide range of services including crime scene cleanup, hoarding cleanup, meth lab decontamination, mold remediation, and water damage restoration.
Many of these services are covered by homeowners’ insurance, offering customers financial relief during emergencies. The franchise operates in both residential and commercial sectors, making it a recession-resistant business model with consistent demand.
What sets Spaulding Decon apart is its focus on compassion, professionalism, and cutting-edge techniques.

Spaulding Decon provides a structured set of training programs to its franchisees, ensuring both initial preparation and ongoing education:
Initial Training Program: The franchisor offers an Initial Training Program lasting approximately two weeks, conducted at their headquarters in Tampa, Florida or virtually. It is free for the franchisee and one designated manager. Additional attendees are charged $1,500 per person. All travel-related expenses are borne by the franchisee. Completion of this program is mandatory within 45 days before commencing operations, and failure to do so can lead to termination of the franchise agreement.
Training for Additional Personnel: Franchisees may train their employees themselves or request training from the franchisor at a tuition rate. This includes updated training materials and covers all costs such as travel, lodging, meals, and wages during training.
Supplemental and System-Wide Training: The franchisor may require or offer system-wide and supplemental training programs at its discretion. These sessions may be held annually (up to five days), online, or on-site, and attendance by franchisees and their managers may be mandated. Fees apply along with all associated travel and lodging expenses.
Territory Protection
Spaulding Decon grants its franchisees a "Designated Territory," typically comprising a population of up to 350,000 people. While franchisees are permitted to accept customers from outside this territory under limited conditions, they are not guaranteed an exclusive territory.
Competition may arise from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels controlled by the franchisor. Despite this, Spaulding Decon commits not to establish additional businesses using its proprietary marks within a franchisee's designated territory, provided the franchisee remains in compliance with their agreement.
However, the franchisor retains the right to market or distribute similar products or services through different trademarks or channels, including e-commerce and mail orders, within the same geographic area. Franchisees are also excluded from servicing national accounts unless specifically assigned by the franchisor.
