Lawrenceburg, Loretto and the countryside
Lawrenceburg is the county seat, a city of about 11,600 on Shoal Creek, roughly 75 miles southwest of Nashville. Its downtown square holds the Lawrence County Courthouse and a statue of David Crockett, who once ran mills on Shoal Creek. The city is the county's manufacturing center, with employers such as Modine, Graphic Packaging International and Aviagen and a 151-acre industrial park. David Crockett State Park adjoins its west side.

Loretto, about 13 miles south on US 43, is a ridgetop town of about 1,700 that began as a stagecoach stop called Glen Rock. German Catholic settlers arrived around 1870, and the railroad later made it a lumber town. Beyond these two communities, Lawrence County is mostly rural farmland, and we serve every part of it.
Highways and the kinds of properties we see
US 43 and US 64 cross in Lawrenceburg, giving the city its nickname, Crossroads of Dixie. US 43 continues south through Loretto toward the Muscle Shoals area of Alabama, and State Route 227 runs from Loretto to Lexington, Alabama. Interstate 65 is about 29 miles east of Lawrenceburg.
In town, calls involve homes near the square, rentals and workplaces in the industrial park. In the countryside, they involve farmhouses on septic, barns and outbuildings where rodents nest, and vehicles on rural roads. Wooded land along Shoal Creek and the highways is where owners occasionally need sharps or vacated-encampment cleanup.

How we handle the distance
Based in the Nashville area, we operate as a mobile service without an office in Lawrence County. Because the drive is long, we take time on the phone at 615-513-5112, answered day and night, to understand the situation and explain the scope before we leave. On site we contain the area, use protective equipment, remove what cannot be cleaned and disinfect with EPA-registered products per label directions.
The medical examiner or law enforcement releases a home first whenever someone has died there. Insurance coverage depends on your policy, and plumbing, septic, pest control and rebuilding go to the appropriate trades.
