Biohazard cleanup in Huntland, Tennessee

Cleanup in Huntland: what shapes the work

Huntland is about 100 miles south of Nashville in the Appalachian foothills, with Route 97 running south into Alabama. Many homes around town are rural, and a house set well back from neighbors can go longer before a problem is noticed, which changes the scope of the work.

With one K–12 school at the center of town life, the school and its athletic facilities, along with churches such as Huntland Baptist, built in 1915, are the main gathering places. Cleanup in those buildings is scheduled around classes, games and services.

Before help arrives

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