The County Seat and the River Town
Waynesboro, founded in 1821 and named for General Anthony Wayne, is the county seat. It lies beside the Green River in a narrow valley about 105 miles south of Nashville, with the courthouse on the Public Square and US 64 and SR 13 meeting in the center of town. The Natchez Trace Parkway crosses US 64 a few miles east, and the Eagle Creek Wildlife Management Area spreads across forest to the northwest.

In the county's northwest corner, Clifton grew up in the 1800s as a port on the east bank of the Tennessee River. Its Water Street Historic District, the T. S. Stribling Museum and the river itself define the town, and the area also includes a marina and the South Central Correctional Facility. US 641 is the main highway there, with SR 128 and SR 228 serving the surrounding area.
Countryside, Rivers and Forest
Waynesboro and Clifton are both small, with roughly 2,300 and 2,650 residents in 2020, and most of Wayne County is rural. We serve the unincorporated areas between and around them, including farms, river and recreational property and homes on long gravel drives. Septic systems, barns and outbuildings are common, and wildlife from the forested land can find its way into attics and outbuildings.
Calls here are most likely to involve a family home after a death, injury or illness; a property being cleared for an estate; sewage or septic backups; or animal waste in rural buildings.

How We Serve Wayne County
There is no Wayne County office; we work as a mobile service from the Nashville area. Because of the distance, we plan each trip in advance and give you an honest arrival window. Call 615-513-5112 at any hour. We confirm that law enforcement or the medical examiner has released the property, explain the scope and then work with protective equipment, containment, EPA-registered disinfectants per label directions and appropriate disposal, referring out septic, pest exclusion and repair work.
