Biohazard cleanup in Gainesboro, Tennessee

Cleanup in Gainesboro: what shapes the work

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation area sits at the Roaring River confluence, and water shapes much of the land near town. Low-lying properties near the river and lake can stay damp, and moisture pushes odor deeper into wood and subflooring after an incident.

Gainesboro is about fifteen miles northwest of Cookeville, and Jackson County is largely rural. When heirs or an executor are handling a home from out of town, the job is arranged with them directly, including what happens to belongings.

Before help arrives

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