Biohazard cleanup in St. Joseph, Tennessee
St. Joseph is a Lawrence County city on US 43 south of Lawrenceburg. It sits on a ridge between the Shoal Creek and Bluewater Creek valleys, and its limits reach the Alabama line. German Catholic immigrants settled it in the early 1870s and founded St. Joseph Catholic Church, which still has an active parish.

Cleanup in St. Joseph: what shapes the work
St. Joseph is a small town with a church community that goes back more than 150 years. In a place this size, families often want the work done quietly and want to deal with one person from start to finish.
US 43 carries traffic between Lawrenceburg and Alabama, and State Route 227 leads west to Iron City. Homes along these roads and on the surrounding ridges are mostly rural. Wells, septic systems and outbuildings are checked as part of the assessment.
