Where Smithville sits and how we get there
Smithville lies about 66 miles east-southeast of Nashville and 28 miles southwest of Cookeville. US 70 runs through town as Broad Street, the main commercial street, and State Route 56, called Congress Boulevard in town, runs 13 miles north to Interstate 40 at Silver Point. That route makes the drive from Nashville straightforward.
We do not have an office in Smithville or DeKalb County. We are a mobile service based in the Nashville area, and our phone, 615-513-5112, is answered every hour of every day. Because of the distance, we spend a few unhurried moments on the phone first, so we understand the situation, explain the scope and arrive ready.
Courthouse square, home streets and rural land
Smithville is a small county-seat town. Around the DeKalb County Courthouse and City Hall are residential streets, and rural land surrounds the town. Most needs in a setting like this involve homes: a death at home, blood or bodily fluids after a medical emergency, a sewage backup into living space, rodent droppings in a crawl space or outbuilding, or a house where belongings have built up beyond what the family can manage.
Businesses along Broad Street and public buildings near the square sometimes need help after an injury, a restroom incident or another contamination event. Each summer, on the weekend nearest July 4, the Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree & Crafts Festival draws well over 100,000 people; the very first Jamboree, in 1972, was held on the courthouse steps. Large events like that can leave organizers needing bodily fluid cleanup or sharps collection afterward.
Every job starts with a clear explanation of the scope. On site we use protective equipment and containment, remove materials that cannot be cleaned and disinfect with EPA-registered products as directed on the label.
