Biohazard cleanup in Springfield, Tennessee

Cleanup in Springfield: what shapes the work

Much of Robertson County is still farmland. Farmhouses and older rural homes often have crawlspaces, wells and septic systems, and an incident in a rural home is sometimes found days later. Each of those changes how the cleanup is planned.

Robertson County is one of the counties that has adopted Tennessee's home improvement licensing law, so rebuild work after remediation between $3,000 and $25,000 can require a contractor who holds a Tennessee home improvement license.

Before help arrives

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