Carthage's south-bank twin

South Carthage is a small riverside town of about 1,500 people (2020 Census). It runs along the Cumberland from Goodall Island east to the river's confluence with the Caney Fork, and two bridges tie it to Carthage: the Cordell Hull Bridge on the west and the Veterans Memorial Bridge, which carries State Route 25, on the east.

The town is mostly residential streets plus highway-oriented businesses along U.S. 70N. The junction of U.S. 70N with State Routes 25 and 53 lies within its southeastern limits, and that intersection is how many travelers, including us, first enter Smith County's river towns.

Homes, highway frontage and rentals

Most cleanup needs in a community like South Carthage involve single-family homes and rental units. A death at home, a medical emergency, a sewage backup or a hoarding situation can happen anywhere, and in a town this size, privacy matters. We keep vehicles and equipment as unobtrusive as the job allows and do not discuss the work with neighbors.

Businesses along the U.S. 70N corridor sometimes call after an injury, a restroom backup or a discovered needle. Property managers and landlords call when a unit needs to be cleaned before it can be rented again. In each case we explain the scope first, including which parts belong to a plumber, a pest-control company or a contractor.

Service from the Nashville area

No office of ours sits in South Carthage or elsewhere in Smith County. Our mobile service is based in the Nashville area and reaches town by U.S. 70N or by State Route 53 from I-40 at Gordonsville, about four miles south. Our phone, 615-513-5112, is answered around the clock.

Because South Carthage and Carthage sit only a mile and a half apart, we can work in both on the same trip. For other Smith County addresses, see our Smith County page.

When a death or crime has occurred, the medical examiner or law enforcement must release the property before we begin. Officials, not us, take charge of the person who died and of any evidence. Once the home is released, we explain timing and what will be removed so the family can plan.
