A small city with a large industrial neighbor

Decherd grew in the 1850s after Peter Decherd granted right-of-way to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and the city was first incorporated in 1856. Old Decherd still lines SR 50, and the town's residential streets blend into neighboring Winchester so smoothly that many people cross the line without noticing.

What sets Decherd apart is its industrial base. Nissan's Decherd powertrain assembly plant opened in 1997, employs more than 1,600 people and produces about 1.4 million engines a year, with a second engine plant added on the property in 2014. A workplace of that scale, and the suppliers, contractors and commuters around it, means injuries and bodily-fluid incidents at work are part of the local picture alongside the needs of ordinary households.

Situations we handle in and around Decherd

About 2,400 people live in Decherd, so most calls come from homes and rentals rather than big apartment complexes. Part of the city's water area lies in Tims Ford Lake, and lake-oriented properties nearby can sit vacant for periods of time.

Decherd also has history worth protecting. The Haynes House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and many older homes in town have original materials that deserve a careful hand. When we can clean something in place rather than tear it out, we tell you, and when removal is unavoidable, we explain why before anything leaves the house.
