Biohazard cleanup in Cumberland City, Tennessee

Cleanup in Cumberland City: what shapes the work

The power plant is the town's main industrial site. Work at a utility facility follows that facility's contractor, safety and access rules and is arranged through plant management.

About nine percent of the town's area is water, and riverside homes and camps are part of the setting. Low ground near the river tends to stay damp, drawing odor into crawlspaces and subfloors, and places used only part of the year may not be checked often.

Before help arrives

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