Biohazard cleanup in Forest Hills, Tennessee

Cleanup in Forest Hills: what shapes the work

Although Forest Hills has its own city government, law enforcement comes from the Metro Nashville Police Department. Its Midtown and West precincts split the city along Hillsboro Pike. The city handles some services itself, such as road maintenance and stormwater, and residents arrange others, such as garbage pickup.

The city also has historic houses, including the McCrory-Mayfield House from around 1798, the Compton log house from about 1819, and Longleat, completed in 1932. In large or older homes the work often involves fine finishes, custom millwork and valuable contents. The scope is kept tight, and contents are documented before anything is moved.
