Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Cleveland, Tennessee Area

What Makes Cleveland, Tennessee Different

Cleveland is the county seat of Bradley County, in the long ridge and valley country between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Many homes sit on slopes or along narrow valleys, and heavy rain runs downhill fast. Creeks that cross the county can come up in an hour, and yards at the bottom of a ridge collect runoff.

Severe storms and tornadoes are a real risk here. The April 2011 tornado outbreak struck Bradley County and destroyed many homes. After wind damage, tarp any opening as soon as it is safe and photograph everything before you move it. Rain that follows a storm soaks attics, insulation and ceilings, so start drying the same day.

Summers are hot and humid, and damp crawlspaces are the most common mold problem in the area. Winters bring a few hard freezes, and pipes in crawlspaces and on outside walls can split. Open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls on the coldest nights.
