Biohazard cleanup in Celina, Tennessee

Cleanup in Celina: what shapes the work

Dale Hollow Lake makes Celina a base for boating and fishing, and cabins and rental houses near the water are often empty between visits. When something happens at a seasonal property, it may not be found quickly, and the owner may live hours away.

Celina was a logging town in the late 1800s, and parts of town still have older frame houses on crawlspaces. River-valley humidity affects how odor and moisture settle into wood framing.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Celina Police Department responds; outside them, the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
