Macon County's seat on the Highland Rim
Established in 1843 as the seat of the newly formed Macon County and named for the Marquis de Lafayette, the city had about 5,600 residents in the 2020 Census. It sits near the center of the county on a drainage divide: water on one side flows north toward the Barren River in Kentucky, and on the other side south to the Cumberland.
Life in town centers on the courthouse square, with single-family neighborhoods spreading out from it and farmland beyond. State Route 52 is the main road through Lafayette and crosses State Route 10 in town; the Sneed Boulevard bypass leads to the Lafayette Industrial Park.
Homes, plants and the people who call us
Residential calls in Lafayette look much like those anywhere in rural Middle Tennessee: a death at home, a medical emergency, a sewage or septic backup, rodent waste in an outbuilding, or a long-developing hoarding situation. Older houses near the square and farm homes outside town each bring their own materials and challenges, and we assess every property before recommending work.
Lafayette is also a manufacturing town. Major employers include manufactured-home, plastics and lumber operations, and the 95-acre Macon-Lafayette Industrial Park sits off Sneed Boulevard. When a workplace injury or contamination event happens at a plant or yard, managers need discreet cleanup and a plainly explained scope for their own records. A 25-bed hospital and the county's schools are also part of the community, and we work with facility managers when they call.

Distance, timing and releases
From our Nashville-area base we serve Macon County, where we keep no office. We usually come up I-65 and east on State Route 52, roughly 35 miles from the interstate near Portland. Call 615-513-5112 at any hour, and we will give you an honest sense of timing.
If someone has died or a crime has occurred, the medical examiner or law enforcement must release the property first. We do not move the person who died, handle evidence or perform plumbing, pest-exclusion or structural repairs, and we will tell you who does. We also serve Red Boiling Springs, about ten miles east, and the rest of Macon County.
