Biohazard cleanup in Centerville, Tennessee

Cleanup in Centerville: what shapes the work

Since Centerville is the county's only town, the land around it is open country: farms, river bottoms and homes along winding state routes toward Interstate 40 and Columbia. Rural houses usually rely on wells and septic, and some are some distance from the nearest neighbor.

The Duck River also draws people to camp and float, and homes near the water deal with the damp of a river valley. Moisture in crawlspaces and older wood framing affects how deep contamination goes and how much drying and removal follows.

Before help arrives

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