Biohazard cleanup in Hendersonville, Tennessee

Cleanup in Hendersonville: what shapes the work

Lake living adds a few situations not common elsewhere: boats, pontoons and dock structures. Fiberglass and gelcoat surfaces clean well; marine carpet, vinyl seating and foam cushions usually do not and are removed. Boats are evaluated separately from the home.

Lakefront homes often have walk-out basements and crawlspaces close to the water table, where humidity speeds up bacterial growth and odor after an incident. Moisture control is part of the plan in those homes.

Hendersonville sits close to Gallatin, Goodlettsville and Nashville's Madison area, and many residents commute along Vietnam Veterans Boulevard.

Before help arrives

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