Biohazard cleanup in Dickson, Tennessee

Cleanup in Dickson: what shapes the work

Dickson is the commercial center for a largely rural county, with hotels and truck stops along I-40 and a regional hospital. Hotel incidents call for quiet room recovery and a written summary for the operator.

Around the city, rural homes with wells, septic systems and crawlspaces are common. Cleanup water and removed materials have to be managed with those systems in mind.

Before help arrives

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