Biohazard cleanup in Palmer, Tennessee

Cleanup in Palmer: what shapes the work

State Route 108 runs through town, linking Palmer with Gruetli-Laager to the west and Whitwell to the southeast, and the Collins River rises just northeast of town. Homes on the plateau can be remote, and narrow roads affect how a job is set up.

Because three counties meet just south of town, it helps to confirm which county a property is in when an estate, insurance claim or other paperwork is involved, since each county keeps its own records.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. In Palmer the Grundy County Sheriff's Office responds.
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.
