Biohazard cleanup in Monteagle, Tennessee

Cleanup in Monteagle: what shapes the work

The I-24 crossing shapes the town. The interstate often closes in bad weather and traffic is diverted onto US 41, so vehicles and travelers are part of the local picture. Vehicles are cleaned where they are stored once released, and upholstery or carpet that absorbed fluids is removed.

The Assembly and the conference center host visiting groups, and Sewanee is about five and a half miles away on US 41A. At group and retreat properties, the work is coordinated with the property's management so other buildings can stay in use.

Before help arrives

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