Biohazard Cleanup for a Historic River Port

Clifton grew up in the 1800s as a port on the Tennessee River, and its Water Street Historic District, listed on the National Register, still recalls that era. Novelist T. S. Stribling, whose book The Store won the 1933 Pulitzer Prize, was from Clifton, and his house is now a city museum. About 2,650 people live in the city today.

Housing here includes historic homes near the riverfront and rural and recreational property along the river, with the countryside beyond. US 641 is the main highway, with SR 128 and SR 228 serving the surrounding area. Waynesboro, the county seat, is about 14 miles away.

Riverfront, Rural and Institutional Settings

Most calls from Clifton involve family homes: a death, an injury, an illness or a property being cleared for an estate. River and recreational property brings its own needs, from campers and boat interiors to cabins that sit closed for long stretches. The area also includes institutional settings, such as the South Central Correctional Facility, a privately run state prison, as well as the Clifton Marina and Ross Creek Landing Golf Course.

In each case we follow the same steps: protective equipment, containment of the affected area, cleaning followed by EPA-registered disinfectants used per label directions, and appropriate disposal of contaminated materials.

Planning a Job This Far From Nashville

We are a mobile service based in the Nashville area, without an office in Clifton or Wayne County. Clifton is one of the more distant towns we serve, so we are honest about travel time and plan carefully before we leave. Call 615-513-5112 at any hour; we will ask what happened, confirm whether the property has been released by law enforcement or the medical examiner and explain the scope.

We also serve Waynesboro and the rest of Wayne County, along with Hohenwald in neighboring Lewis County. If your concern is a death that went undiscovered, our unattended death cleanup page explains the process.

Gravel roads, river access and gated properties are common around Clifton, so we ask about them up front. That way we bring the right equipment the first time and avoid a second long trip.

Frequently asked questions

Will you really travel to Clifton?

Yes. Our service area covers all 41 counties of Middle Tennessee, Wayne County among them. Because Clifton is a long drive, we plan the trip in advance and give you a realistic arrival window.

Can you clean a river cabin or camper that sat closed for a while?

We can. Seasonal and recreational properties along the river sometimes sit unused, which can make a problem worse by the time it is found. We remove the source, clean and disinfect, and explain anything that needs replacement.

Do you handle older homes in the historic district?

Yes. We take extra care with original materials in older Clifton homes, remove only what is contaminated and leave restoration to the contractor you choose.
