Biohazard cleanup in Jamestown, Tennessee

Cleanup in Jamestown: what shapes the work

The town sits where U.S. 127 meets State Routes 52 and 154, the roads leading to Pickett State Park and the Big South Fork area. Visitors heading for those parks stay in cabins and rentals across the county, many of them out of the way and not occupied every week.

Jamestown has long had one of the lowest median household incomes in the country for a town its size, and for many households cost matters a great deal, so we explain plainly what has to be removed, what can be cleaned and what an insurance policy may cover.

Before help arrives

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

Residential and commercial work

For homes in Jamestown, we work with one point of contact, usually a family member, the owner or the landlord. Personal items in the affected area are kept unless you decide otherwise.

For businesses, rental communities and public facilities, we work through the site or property manager, agree the work area and timing in advance, and provide a written summary for your records.
