Biohazard cleanup in Franklin, Tennessee

Cleanup in Franklin: what shapes the work

Franklin's historic district includes homes well over a century old. Old-growth hardwood floors, plaster walls and original trim are often things owners want to save. In older homes, cleanup planning focuses on how much original material can be decontaminated and kept, and how much has to be removed, and we explain that trade-off before any cutting starts.

Cool Springs adds a commercial side: office towers, medical offices, hotels and large retail. In those settings an incident is usually handled through a facility manager, with work scheduled to keep the rest of the building open.

Discretion matters to many Franklin households and businesses. We keep one point of contact for the whole job and do not discuss the work with neighbors or passers-by.

Before help arrives

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