Biohazard cleanup in Ashland City, Tennessee

Cleanup in Ashland City: what shapes the work

Water is never far away here. Cheatham Lake extends up the Cumberland past town, and the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area lies across the river. Homes and camps on low ground near the water tend to stay damp, and damp conditions let odor and contamination settle further into wood, drywall and crawlspace insulation after an incident.

The town's largest manufacturer is A. O. Smith, which makes water heaters, and the Cheatham County Industrial Park along the river includes boat building, barge building, paper products and concrete. Work in those facilities is set up through safety or facilities staff, with the affected area contained so production elsewhere can continue.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Ashland City Police Department responds; outside them, the Cheatham 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.
