The Valley's County Seat

Dunlap was founded in 1858 as the seat of the newly created Sequatchie County and named for state legislator William Claiborne Dunlap. About 5,400 people live here today. The river marks the city's southeastern edge, while Fredonia Mountain, as locals call the escarpment, climbs over 1,000 feet on the west side.

US 127, known in town as Rankin Avenue, is the main street and commercial corridor. State Route 28 runs through as well, and State Route 111 joins US 127 a few miles north. The county courthouse and government offices are on Cherry Street.

Homes, Farms, Industry and Festivals

Dunlap's housing is mostly modest single-family homes, with valley farmland spreading out around the town. Those settings bring the usual range of family situations: a death at home, an injury, a septic or sewer backup, a house that has become unsafe to live in, or rodent waste in a barn or shed.

The Sequatchie Industrial Park, with highway and rail access, adds workplace settings where an injury or contamination event needs contained cleanup. Coke Ovens Park, the NRHP-listed site of 268 historic coke ovens and a coal-mining museum, hosts annual events including a bluegrass festival and Valley Fest. Event grounds and their restrooms may need cleanup or disinfection arranged by the organizers.

Schools of the consolidated county system, Sequatchie County High, Sequatchie County Middle and Griffith Elementary, are also here.

Service Without a Local Office

Our mobile service comes from the Nashville area. Dunlap is a long drive, so we plan with you by phone: what happened, which buildings and vehicles are affected, whether police or the Sequatchie County medical examiner have released the property, and how to find it.

Before starting we describe the scope plainly. We set up barriers, puts on protective equipment, takes out anything contaminated, and treats remaining surfaces with labeled disinfectants. Septic, carpentry and pest work belong to other trades, and we will name them.

Nearby, we also serve Lone Oak on the mountain to the south, Gruetli-Laager, Altamont and Tracy City.
