Plateau service for Grundy County's seat

Altamont has been the seat of Grundy County since 1848, and today it is a quiet town of about 1,100 people (2020 Census) in the north-central part of the county. The Grundy County Courthouse and the Florence R. Scruggs Municipal Building, which houses city hall and the Altamont Library and Museum, anchor a small center along Main Street, which is State Route 56.

Our mobile service drives up from the Nashville area; there is no branch on the plateau. A trip to Altamont is planned travel, so when you call 615-513-5112 we ask about the address, access and the situation, then give you a realistic sense of timing. State Routes 56, 108 and 50 are the roads we use to reach town and the surrounding countryside.

Small farms, older homes and a busy trailhead

Most properties around Altamont are homes and small farms spread across the plateau, with Northcutt Cove just north of town. Rural houses here may have crawlspaces, wells, septic systems and outbuildings, and those details shape a cleanup plan. Rodent nesting in a shed, a septic backup or an unattended death in an isolated home are the kinds of situations where people call us.

Savage Gulf's western entrance is a couple of miles from downtown, and nearby waterfalls such as Greeter Falls, Broadtree Falls and Blue Hole draw visitors through the area. That traffic does not change how we clean, but it does mean incidents can involve people who are not from Grundy County. We can work with out-of-town families by phone.

Public buildings in the county seat may also need help after an injury or a contamination event. In those cases we work with whoever manages the building and explain the scope plainly before work starts.

Before we arrive

When a death or crime is involved, law enforcement or the county medical examiner must release the property first. Moving the person who died and collecting evidence are tasks for officials, not for us. We also refer out what we do not do, including plumbing, pest exclusion and structural repair.

Altamont sits about seven miles from Gruetli-Laager and roughly a dozen from Tracy City. Our Grundy County page explains how we serve the rest of the county.
