What Makes Hot Springs, Arkansas Different

Hot Springs sits in a narrow valley in the Ouachita Mountains, with steep streets and hillside lots all around downtown. Hot Springs Creek runs in a channel under Central Avenue, and heavy rain rushes off the hills into low streets fast. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.

Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine lie just south of the city, and many homes sit on the water or on slopes above it. Lake homes often have damp crawlspaces and lower levels where mold gets a start. Summers are hot and humid, so wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, and drying has to start the same day.

Spring storms bring heavy rain, hail, strong wind and tornado warnings, and winter ice storms can bring down trees and power lines. Pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls can freeze in a hard cold snap. Many homes downtown and in the older neighborhoods were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.
