Cleanup in Minor Hill: what shapes the work
State Route 11 runs through the city, northeast to Pulaski and southwest into Lauderdale County, Alabama. The area around town is farmland, with homes on large lots, wells or rural water, and septic.
On a farm property an incident may involve a barn, shop or outbuilding as well as the house. Bare wood, gravel and dirt floors take a different approach from finished rooms, and some materials have to come out entirely.
Property types in Minor Hill
