Biohazard Cleanup in Grundy County, Tennessee

Small towns across the plateau

Grundy County has no large city. Its communities are small and spread out: Altamont, the county seat since 1848, with about 1,100 residents; Gruetli-Laager, two settlements along State Route 108 that merged in 1980; Tracy City, a historic coal and railroad town on U.S. 41; and Monteagle, which sits at the meeting of Grundy, Franklin and Marion counties on I-24.

Between those towns are homes and small farms on the plateau, coves such as Northcutt Cove north of Altamont, and protected land at Savage Gulf and Grundy Lakes State Park. We serve all of it, including addresses well off the main roads.

Getting there and what we handle

We are mobile and based in the Nashville area; we keep no office on the plateau. Most trips come down I-24 to Monteagle and then follow U.S. 41 east to Tracy City or State Routes 56, 108 and 50 north and east toward Altamont and Gruetli-Laager. Because travel takes planning, we give you an honest sense of timing when you call 615-513-5112, at any hour.

Plateau properties tend to be older homes and rural houses with crawlspaces, septic systems, wells and outbuildings. Common calls include a death at home that went undiscovered for a time, septic or sewage backups, rodent waste in sheds and barns, and long-developing hoarding situations. Visitors drawn to the trails and waterfalls also mean some calls involve families who live elsewhere, and we coordinate with them by phone.

If a death or crime is involved, law enforcement or the medical examiner must release the property before we begin. We refer plumbing, pest exclusion and repairs to the right trades and explain the scope before any work starts.
