Biohazard cleanup in Spencer, Tennessee

Cleanup in Spencer: what shapes the work

The state park brings a steady stream of visitors, and private cabin and cottage rentals around Spencer serve them. When an incident happens at a rental, the owner or manager is the main contact. Affected rooms stay off the rental calendar until the work is finished and the odor is gone.

Escarpments, the Cane Creek valley and Dry Fork Gulf separate Spencer from the rest of the plateau, and State Routes 30 and 111 are the main ways in and out. For homes in town and on plateau roads, a clear description by phone beforehand helps the first visit go as far as possible.

Before help arrives

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