Biohazard cleanup in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee

Cleanup in Red Boiling Springs: what shapes the work

The surviving hotels are old wooden buildings with plaster, original floors and small guest rooms. In historic lodging, the goal is to treat one room while the rest of the hotel stays open, and to save original finishes wherever cleaning will do.

The town lies along Salt Lick Creek, and in June 1969 a flash flood damaged or destroyed dozens of homes and businesses. Low-lying properties along the creek can hold moisture, which affects crawlspaces and older framing.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Red Boiling Springs Police Department responds; outside them, the Macon 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.
