Biohazard cleanup in Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee

Cleanup in Tennessee Ridge: what shapes the work

Houston County is one of the smaller counties in Middle Tennessee, with Erin as its seat. Most homes in and around Tennessee Ridge are owner-occupied, many on wooded rural lots with wells or septic systems.

With a town of this size, an incident often involves a family home where relatives are coming in from elsewhere to take care of things. Our role is to handle the cleanup and paperwork so the family can focus on each other.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. In Tennessee Ridge the Houston County Sheriff's Office responds.
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.
