Biohazard Cleanup in Loretto, Tennessee

From Glen Rock stagecoach stop to ridgetop town

Loretto began in the early 1800s as a stagecoach station called Glen Rock. German Catholic immigrants settled here around 1870, and their Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, built in 1912, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When the railroad arrived in the 1880s, Loretto became a lumber town. Loretto Milling Company has been family-run since 1895, and the 1920s Bank of Loretto building was renovated in 2013.

The town sits on a ridge between the Shoal Creek valley and Bluewater Creek, southwest of Lawrenceburg. US 43 runs north to Lawrenceburg and south toward the Muscle Shoals area of Alabama, and State Route 227 heads to Lexington, Alabama.

What Loretto calls us for

Loretto has a compact historic center, single-family residential streets and farmland all around. In older homes, fluids and odors can settle into wood floors and plaster; on farms, the work may include a barn, a shop or a pickup as well as the house. Many rural homes rely on septic systems, and outbuildings are common places for rodent droppings and stored belongings to build up.

Local manufacturers and businesses along North Military Street, where City Hall stands, can call after a workplace injury or bodily fluid incident. Loretto High School, churches and other community buildings sometimes need disinfection or cleanup after an incident too.

Loretto has no office of ours. We are a mobile service based in the Nashville area, and because of the distance we take time on the phone first, at 615-513-5112, to understand the situation and explain the scope. On site we contain the area, wear protective equipment, remove what cannot be cleaned and disinfect with EPA-registered products as labeled.
