A Plateau Community Along US 127
About 1,200 people live in and around Grimsley, a census-designated place in southern Fentress County. It sits at roughly 1,700 to 1,800 feet on the Cumberland Plateau, about 12 miles south of Jamestown, the county seat, and 6.5 miles north of Clarkrange. The post office and the Beaty General Store are community landmarks.
The land falls away on both sides. To the west it drops into the gorge of the East Fork of the Obey River; to the east it follows the valley of the North Prong of Clear Fork. Homes and small farms are scattered along US 127, with State Route 85 touching the community's southwestern edge on its long run to Livingston.
Reaching Grimsley From the Nashville Area
Our mobile service drives from the Nashville area. A typical trip follows I-40 east past Monterey, then reaches Grimsley on US 127 north of Clarkrange. It is a long drive, so we plan by phone before setting out.
That call covers what happened, which rooms, outbuildings or vehicles are affected, whether county investigators or the Fentress County medical examiner have released the property, and how to find the driveway. With that information we can arrive with the materials the job requires and, where possible, finish in one trip.
Rural Homes, Rural Considerations
In a scattered rural community, the needs are mostly residential and family-centered. Days can pass before someone notices a death in a remote house. Barns and sheds on small farms collect rodent and bird droppings. A septic system at a rural home can back up into living space. A relative's house may have become unsafe because of hoarding or neglect.
We explain the scope before work begins, including what we expect to remove and what belongs to another trade such as a septic service, contractor or pest control company. On site, the team ropes off the room, suits up, bags contaminated materials and finishes with registered disinfectants. Insurance may help depending on your policy; we can describe the work so you can ask your agent.
