What is Lakeland BioShield Cleanup?
We are a phone line and a website. People call us after a death, injury, crime, sewage backup or similar event, and we connect them with an independent cleanup provider that serves their ZIP code. That is the entire service. The provider you speak with next is a separate company with its own staff, vehicles, insurance and registrations.
We set it up this way because most people have never needed biohazard cleanup before, do not know what to ask, and are making the call on one of the worst days of their year. A direct number and plain answers get you to the right provider faster than a search page full of ads. If you want the full overview of what we connect callers with, start on the biohazard cleanup in Lakeland, FL homepage.
What can I use this service for?
Callers use us for the situations listed below. Each has its own page with questions to ask and what to expect.
- Deaths at home, including unattended death cleanup and suicide cleanup
- Crime and police scenes, including crime scene cleanup and homicide cleanup
- Blood, body fluids and medical waste, from blood spills to medical waste
- Sewage, flood and infection events, such as sewage cleanup and infectious disease disinfection
- Drug, chemical and vehicle situations, including meth lab cleanup, tear gas cleanup and vehicle blood cleanup
Where do you operate?
We take calls for Lakeland and nearby parts of Polk County. We route most often in ZIP codes 33801, 33803, 33805, 33809, 33810, 33811, 33812, 33813 and 33815. Local conditions differ between them, so every ZIP code has its own page, from Downtown Lakeland and Cleveland Heights to Lakeland Highlands and Northwest Lakeland. The full list of service areas has them all. Whether a specific provider covers your address depends on that provider, and we will tell you when you call.
How does the referral process work?
- You call (863) 285-4232 and tell us what happened, where the property is and whether anyone is in danger.
- We match you to an independent provider that serves your ZIP code and handles that kind of scene.
- The provider assesses the property, explains the work and gives you a price before starting.
- You agree on the work and payment directly with the provider.
We may receive a referral fee from providers for connecting a caller. You do not pay us, and we do not add to the price the provider quotes you.
What should I expect from the provider I am matched with?
Expect a provider to explain what will be removed, what will be cleaned and what may need rebuilding afterward. Expect a written estimate, and expect to be asked about your insurance. Before you agree, ask for the provider's Florida Department of Health biomedical waste ID, its insurance details and its approach to waste disposal. The state publishes a list of registered trauma scene cleanup providers, and each entry has a four-digit ID. Any credential, rating, award or number of years in business you hear about belongs to that provider and should be confirmed by you directly. The full checklist is on the homepage under how to check a Florida biohazard cleanup provider.
What do we not do?
We do not perform cleanups. We do not guarantee a provider's arrival time, price or results. We do not give legal, medical or insurance advice. Our pages explain how things generally work in Florida, but your policy, your lease and your situation decide the answer. For insurance, call your carrier. For legal questions about a death or a tenancy, speak to a Florida attorney.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lakeland BioShield Cleanup a cleanup company?
No. We are a referral service. Independent providers perform the cleanup, set the price and carry their own insurance and Florida registrations.
Does it cost anything to call you?
No. We may receive a referral fee from providers, and we do not add any charge to the price you agree with the provider.
Do you choose the provider or do I?
We match you to a provider that serves your area and your type of situation. You decide whether to accept the provider's estimate, and you are free to get other quotes.
Can you promise a specific arrival time?
No. Arrival depends on the provider, the time of day and your location. Ask for an estimated arrival when you are connected.
Are the providers licensed?
Florida registers biomedical waste transporters through the Department of Health rather than issuing a single cleanup license. Ask any provider for its DOH ID and insurance details, and verify them yourself.
