Biohazard Cleanup in Burns, Tennessee

A small town next to Dickson

Burns lies in southeastern Dickson County and is bordered on three sides by the city of Dickson, close to where I-40 and I-840 come together. The 2020 Census counted about 1,600 residents in roughly 627 households. Its main roads are SR 47 and SR 96, and SR 96 runs about eight miles southeast to the interstate at Fairview.

The town started out as Mile Post 36, named for its distance from Nashville along the railroad, and its old depot once served as town hall. Today it is mostly homes with open land around them, and that setting shapes many of the calls we receive.

How we help Burns households

We do not have an office in Burns or anywhere outside the Nashville area; our service is mobile and uses protective equipment, containment and EPA-registered disinfectants. When you call, we ask what happened, explain what the job will likely involve, and agree on scope before we begin.

In a semi-rural town, a home may come with a detached garage, a shed, a crawl space and a septic system, and biohazard problems can involve any of them. We clean after unattended deaths and medical emergencies, clear hoarded or neglected spaces with respect for the resident, remove animal droppings from outbuildings, and clean up after sewage or septic backups once the system has been repaired by someone else.

If law enforcement or the medical examiner is involved, they release the property first and arrange removal of remains. We do not do plumbing, septic work or animal trapping, but we will tell you who to call.

Because Burns shares a long boundary with the city of Dickson, some addresses near the edge can be confusing, so do not worry about which town name to use when you call. What helps us most is a street address or directions, a short description of what happened and which rooms or buildings are affected, and whether anyone needs to be present to let us in. If you are a landlord or out-of-town relative handling a property from a distance, we can agree on the plan by phone and explain what was done when the work is finished.
