Biohazard cleanup in Dover, Tennessee

Cleanup in Dover: what shapes the work

The lake, the battlefield and Land Between the Lakes bring visitors who stay in cabins, cottages, campgrounds, resorts and rentals by owner. At a rental, the owner is usually the contact, and the unit stays closed until the cleanup and odor removal are finished. Docks and boats are handled so that nothing is rinsed into the lake.

The 2020 census counted all of Dover's residents as rural, and the county has no hospital. Nashville Wire Products is the largest manufacturer listed in town. Homes, the river and lake properties, and local plants all call for different approaches.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Dover Police Department responds; outside them, the Stewart 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.

Residential and commercial work

For homes in Dover, we work with one point of contact, usually a family member, the owner or the landlord. Personal items in the affected area are kept unless you decide otherwise.

For businesses, rental communities and public facilities, we work through the site or property manager, agree the work area and timing in advance, and provide a written summary for your records.
