Nobody Told You
This Was Your Job.
Phil Sheridan · IICRC Certified · Edmond, OK
Biohazard and trauma scene cleanup across Edmond and OKC. Phil answers. Phil shows up. Phil handles it.
Here's Exactly What Happens
I know you didn't wake up planning to research biohazard cleanup companies. So here's what happens if you call me — no surprises, no sales pitch, no pressure.
[ You Call. I Answer. ]
Not a dispatcher. Not a call center in another state. Me. My name is Phil. I'll ask you a few basic questions — what happened, when it happened, and where. That's it. If you can't talk about it right now, that's fine too. A text works.
[ I Come to You. ]
I'll be there within a few hours, usually faster. I arrive in an unmarked vehicle — no logos, no signs, nothing that tells your neighbors what's going on. Your privacy matters.
[ I Assess and Give You a Number. ]
Before I touch anything, I walk the space and give you a clear, written scope of work and a price. No work starts until you say yes. If you're not there, I'll call you with the details.
[ The Cleanup. ]
I use hospital-grade enzymatic cleaners, EPA-registered disinfectants, and HEPA filtration to clean and decontaminate the affected area. Everything is handled according to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and IICRC S540 guidelines. The technical details matter to your insurance company — and to your safety. They don't need to matter to you right now.
[ Your Space Is Yours Again. ]
When I'm done, the affected area is cleaned, disinfected, and verified safe. No visible evidence. No residual odor. You walk back into your home and it's just — your home.
When You Call, Phil Answers
I'm going to tell you something most companies in this industry won't.
When you call a franchise — Bio-One, SERVPRO, Aftermath, ServiceMaster — your call goes to a dispatcher. That dispatcher assigns a crew. That crew might be local. They might not. You won't know who's walking into your home until they're already there.
When you call 4D Restoration, you talk to me. Phil Sheridan. I'm the owner, the technician, and the person who answers the phone at 2 AM. I'm based in Edmond. I drive my own truck. I do the work myself.
Service-Disabled Veteran — U.S. Army, 6 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011-2012. The military taught me discipline, discretion, and how to perform under pressure. This work requires all three.
IICRC Certified — the industry standard for biohazard remediation. Not everyone in this market carries this certification. I do.
Hundreds of completed jobs since founding 4D Restoration in January 2024. Not all of them were trauma scenes — but enough of them were that I understand what families need from this call. See what other families say about working with me.
Not a franchise. I don't have a corporate office. I don't have shareholders. I don't have a marketing department writing my website copy. I have a truck, equipment that works, and a phone that I answer.
What We Handle
Every situation is different. Here's what I'm trained, equipped, and certified to clean:
> Crime Scene Cleanup
After law enforcement completes their investigation, the physical evidence of what happened remains. Blood, biological material, fingerprint powder, chemical residues. I remove all of it.
> Unattended Death Cleanup
When someone passes away alone and isn't found for days or weeks, the biological decomposition creates serious biohazard conditions. I handle the cleanup, the decontamination, and the <a href='/services/odor-removal/'>odor remediation</a>.
> Biohazard Remediation
Any situation involving blood, bodily fluids, or biological material that requires professional decontamination. Accidents, injuries, hoarding situations involving biological waste.
> Meth Lab Cleanup
Oklahoma has a documented history of clandestine meth lab contamination. I follow EPA and state DEQ protocols for testing, decontamination, and clearance of contaminated properties.
If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, call me. I'll tell you.
The Questions You're Afraid to Ask
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=01 "I just lost someone and the police left — who's supposed to clean the house?" ▶ ENTER
Unfortunately, cleanup falls on the property owner or the family. Law enforcement processes the scene for evidence, but they don't clean it. The coroner removes the remains, but that's where their responsibility ends. Everything else is yours — unless you call someone like me.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=02 "Is it safe for me to go back into the house before you clean it?" ▶ ENTER
I wouldn't recommend it. Depending on the situation, there may be bloodborne pathogens, biological material, or chemical hazards present. These aren't always visible. Until the space has been properly assessed and decontaminated, it's best to stay out. If there was also <a href='/services/water-damage/'>water damage</a> involved, the risk of secondary contamination increases.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=03 "How much does trauma cleanup cost — and does insurance or victim compensation cover it?" ▶ ENTER
Costs depend entirely on the scope of the situation — the size of the affected area, the type of biological material involved, and how long it's been since the incident. I'll give you a clear price before any work begins. Many homeowner's insurance policies cover biohazard cleanup. If the situation involves a crime, Oklahoma's Crime Victims Compensation Board may cover cleanup costs as well. I can help you navigate both.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=04 "Do you show up in some obvious truck that the whole neighborhood will see?" ▶ ENTER
No. I arrive in an unmarked vehicle. No logos, no company name on the side, nothing. Your neighbors won't know unless you tell them. Discretion isn't an add-on — it's standard.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=05 "Can I have someone else handle this for me — I can't be there right now?" ▶ ENTER
Absolutely. A family member, a neighbor, a property manager, a clergy member — anyone you trust can give me access. You don't have to be present for any part of this process. I'll coordinate with whoever you designate and keep you updated by phone or text.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=06 "My family member died weeks ago and nobody cleaned the apartment yet — is it too late?" ▶ ENTER
It's not too late. Delayed cleanups are more common than people realize. The longer a situation sits, the more involved the remediation becomes, but it's absolutely still something I can handle. The cleanup protocol adjusts to the conditions. Call me and we'll figure it out.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=07 "Will my home ever feel normal again after something like this?" ▶ ENTER
Yes. That's the whole point of what I do. When I'm done, you should walk into your home and feel nothing unusual. No visual reminder, no residual odor, no sense of dread when you walk past that room. Your space is your space. I give it back to you.

If you're reading this, something has happened. And the next step — calling someone — probably feels heavier than it should.
I'll make it as short as possible. You tell me what happened. I tell you what I can do. Nothing starts until you're ready.
Call Phil.
405-896-908824/7. I answer.
Or text me. If you'd rather not say it out loud, a text works too. Send me the address, a brief description, and I'll call you back.
