911 Knox was hired to remove the entire contents of a home with a severe bedbug infestation. Paulette was so easy to work with, was very responsive to every question and concern, and went above and beyond to help this client. Her team was professional and kind to the client and helped put his mind at ease throughout the process, as it was very stressful for him. I highly recommend this company

I met with the owner of 911 Knoxville Crime Scene Trauma Decontamination Services, Paulette and Assistant Director of Operations, Daniel. They were very knowledgeable and know the ins and outs of what they do. I was very impressed to learn that they have a medical personnel present on each job. They handle very serious matters and take them very seriously. The owner is on every job. I look forward to working with them in the future!

As soon as I spoke with Paullette Thomas at 911 Knoxville Decontamination Services to ask for her help, I felt an enormous sense of relief and could exhale. I had found myself in a situation where I had no idea what to do. I needed to clean out my sister’s house outside Knoxville so that she could return home to live out her last days, having been diagnosed with end-stage cancer. I’m almost 2,000 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona. This was a hoarder situation. My sister had been hospitalized for over a month, and the house was in dire condition. Paullette immediately understood the problem and began to formulate a plan to fix it. She took a team of 5 remarkable employees to the house on the first day. Over the course of several days, they not only cleared the house of all contents, but they also scrubbed walls, kitchen cabinets, appliances, and every inch of the bathroom; replaced flooring; removed snakes and other pests from the front porch; replaced window coverings; and made the house livable for my sister. My sister is back home now, with her cats, where she wants to be. This is truly a gift from Paullette and her employees. Paullette kept me updated by phone calls and texts throughout each day to help me make decisions. Her empathy, compassion, and many kindnesses were boundless. Importantly, she made this transformation work for me financially. I was very lucky to have found Paullette’s company through a Google search. I have already given her name to the care facility where my sister was before returning home; to her hospice team; and to her attorney. They all now have Paullette’s name to give to people who are looking for these services. If you suddenly find yourself in a situation needing cleaning and decontamination services for whatever sad reason, you have found the right people and the right company. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude to Paullette and her team.

Paullette and Dennis were awesome. I was a hoarder for 4 years after I had some major health problems. The trash built up as I was not physically able to clean my house. They were reasonable on the price and got my house to a point where I can start cleaning it deeply. They are totally non-judgmental so if you feel to embarrassed to ask for help DON’T. It’s major league overwhelming and you don’t know where to start. I now can calmly and confidently clean my house thanks to 911 Decon. They have given me a major part of my life back. If you’re a hoarder call them. They will help you get your life back.

I appreciated the courtesy and professionalism of Paullette and Dennis every step of the way. They made a tragic situation more bearable and were so kind and showed complete integrity. Dennis retrieved valuable items for me during the walk-through and Paullette kept me informed as the job progressed. I didn't even think about an insurance claim, but Paullette gave advice on that as well. I wish these services were never needed by anyone, but if they are...it is a relief to know Paullette and crew are there for you.

911 Knoxville Decon provided outstanding service from start to finish. We hired them to handle a massive attic cleanout at my grandfather’s home, which contained over 50 years’ worth of items. The project required patience, respect, and careful handling, and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Paulette, the owner, was incredibly professional and worked closely with multiple family members to ensure we received the exact service package we needed. The day of crew led by Denis was efficient, thorough, and treated everything with great care. What could have been an overwhelming process was made seamless thanks to their kindness and expertise.

This company’s dedication to their work is evident, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of cleanup services. Their professionalism, compassion, and efficiency set them apart.

During the course of a distressed and heart-wrenching time/experience, these folks were there for our family. I was amazed with how above and beyond they go for their clients.

They are trustworthy, sensitive to the situation at hand, responsive...I was beyond impressed with what they do.

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to the entire team.

Now they feel like family...true angels.

I could have never imagined that I would need their help. I am so thankful I found them.

Look no further!
911 Knoxville Crime Scene and Trauma is 100% the way to go!

I am so very glad I found this company! Paullette was such a sweet lady to work with. She made sure she understood everything I needed done. And Dennis was fantastic! He walked through the house with me asking what I wanted desposed of and cleaned. He would call me at work, if he came across anything he was not sure whether to keep or get rid of. And he did a walk through with me, when they were finishing up, to be sure they had done everything to my satisfaction. And their price for the job was very reasonable compared to other places I had checked with. If you need a clean up, this is the business you need to work with! You will NOT be disappointed!

We had hired 911 Knoxville Crime Scene after the passing of my father in law. He had passed a day or so before he was found. Paulette was easily reached by phone and very caring. We did not want to go into his place until cleaned professionally. I called on Monday, Tuesday they were out to evaluate and Wednesday they came back to take care of the job. Removing furniture, cleaning and disinfecting the area. And finally the did an odor remediation leaving the place fresh. Dennis and Peter were wonderful technicians. Very personable guys. They moved quickly and did the job my husband and I just didn't want to bear. Their pricing was very reasonable as well. I would recommend this company. They were great!

Where do I begin? I had been struggling for several years not knowing what to do or how I could possibly even begin to remediate the situation on my own. While I understand that knowing what the
“situation” was might be helpful for some of you, I am still not comfortable posting this publicly at this time. So, please bear with me. I knew that I could not do this alone and I also knew that there was the issue of biohazard waste and that I would need the help of professionals. So, somehow I came across 911 Knoxville Crime Scene Trauma Decon Services LLC. Making that initial phone call was difficult; however, Paullette was so very kind and put me at great ease. She told me not to be embarrassed and to realize that I had chosen to do something about the situation and that was what mattered. That stuck with me. She explained the initial assessment which was done by Dennis who is an amazingly kindhearted gentleman who also made me feel as though everything was actually going to be alright. After the assessment Paullette worked out a plan of the work that was going to be done explaining everything in detail so that I understood how we got to the estimate. Paullette was so wonderful throughout the entire process. The Team consisted of three exceptional individuals (Dennis, Crystal and Pete) whose dedication and commitment and genuine care for other people is evident in all that they do and is to be commended. They worked so hard and went above and beyond the call of duty. These people truly are a blessing. I could not have imagined such an experience - it is life altering. The weight has been lifted. No matter what your situation be I implore you do not be afraid. They do not judge you - they truly want to help you. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

911 Knoxville may be the most professional, compassionate, and patient, company I've ever worked with before. They are a multifaceted business, but I specifically used them for a hoarded home clean-out. The team I worked alongside of (Dennis, Crystal, Danny, and Pete) were incredibly kind and hard working. Paullette, who oversees operations, was easy to get ahold of and answered any questions I had throughout the process. I truly could not have done this project without all of their help, and I can't recommend them enough!

Truly one of the most professional companies I've ever dealt with. Obviously this is not a company that sees a lot of calls from people who are having a great time in life at the moment and they know that. They're so so patient and courteous, and genuinely nice people. They went above and beyond cleaning my fathers house, and even repaired a few things that were not in contract just to help us out. Any service that's required by law most people are going to gouge you for as much as they can but these guys are really reasonable and fairly priced. 10/10 company

They were so compassionate and generous during an extremely stressful and difficult situation. Every single person that helped was incredibly kind and they busted their butts to get as much done as they could. It felt as if friends and family were helping us. I really can’t say enough about how great they are. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

I have used this group twice now, and both times, they went above and beyond!

The first time was for a hoard cleanout. It was a big job, but the team got it done in a day, and it was much less stressful than I anticipated. The second time was for a similar job on a much smaller scale. For this one, they were done in about 4 hours, max.

Everyone I have interacted with was professional, courteous, thorough, and caring. The owner is also a wonderful woman, very kind and happy to help people and meet them halfway whenever possible.

Their prices are extremely reasonable, and the value for the work they do is incredible.

Overall, I cannot recommend these people strongly enough, for jobs large or small!
