Biohazard cleanup in Clifton, Tennessee
Clifton grew up as a river port on the Tennessee River in Wayne County. Its Water Street and other historic districts date from that era, and the city runs a museum honoring novelist T. S. Stribling, who won the 1933 Pulitzer Prize for The Store.

Cleanup in Clifton: what shapes the work
Clifton is also home to the South Central Correctional Facility, a privately run, medium-security state prison for up to 1,700 men. Work at a secure facility is arranged through its administration, with access, escort and scheduling set by the facility.
Away from the institution, much of the housing is older river-town stock and rural homes on the bluffs and hollows nearby. Homes near the river face more humidity, and older wood framing and crawlspaces need checking when an incident was not found right away.
