What Winchester residents can expect from us

Winchester was laid out in 1810 as Franklin County's seat of justice, and it still serves as the county's regional service center. We are not based here; we are mobile and come from the Nashville area. What that means for you is simple: one phone call at 615-513-5112, a conversation about what happened, and a scheduled drive down with the equipment the job needs.

Once on site, we set up containment, wear protective equipment, and use EPA-registered disinfectants according to their labels. Anything contaminated is sealed in bags on site and leaves with us for proper disposal. You hear the scope before work begins, and we refer out anything outside our lane, such as plumbing repairs or structural work.

Property types around the square and the lake

The housing here ranges from older homes close to the Franklin County Courthouse to newer subdivisions and lake-area properties toward Tims Ford Lake, which formed after Tims Ford Dam was built on the Elk River between 1966 and 1972. Boiling Fork Creek and Dry Creek reach into town as arms of the lake.

Commercial life concentrates on Dinah Shore Boulevard, South College Street (both US 41A), 1st Avenue and the square, with US 64 bypassing the city to the south and east. Highpoint Health - Winchester, the local hospital, and Winchester Municipal Airport are also part of the picture, along with the visitors who come for boating, bass fishing and the High On The Hog barbecue festival each May.

Nearby towns we also reach

Distances here are short. Decherd's city limits run right up against Winchester's, Estill Springs is under five miles away, and Cowan sits a little farther toward the plateau. That closeness means a single trip often covers a family home in one town and a rental in the next.

Winchester borders Decherd to the north, and Estill Springs, Cowan and Sewanee are all within about 10 miles. Rural roads off SR 16, SR 50 and SR 130 lead to farms and lake communities that are part of the same service area. Our Franklin County page describes the full county, and our unattended death cleanup page explains that service in more depth.

Frequently asked questions

Can you clean a Tims Ford Lake home when the owner lives out of town?

Yes. Many lake-area owners are not nearby. We can coordinate access with you, a neighbor or a property manager, describe the scope by phone, and share photos of the finished work.

Who must release a Winchester home after a death?

In Tennessee, a reportable death falls under the county medical examiner, who must authorize moving the body. Law enforcement may also be involved. We start only after the home is released and the funeral home has taken the person who died.

Do you also cover the countryside around Winchester?

Yes. We serve all of Franklin County, including unincorporated roads beyond city limits. Share the address when you call and we will plan around it.
