Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Nashville Area

What Makes Nashville Different

Nashville remembers the May 2010 flood, when the Cumberland River and its creeks rose into neighborhoods that had never flooded before. Heavy rain can still send creeks over their banks quickly in the hilly parts of Middle Tennessee. Floodwater from outside is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it, so flood insurance is worth a look even outside a mapped flood zone.

Severe storms and tornadoes come through in spring and sometimes late fall. The March 2020 tornado cut across North Nashville, Germantown and East Nashville in the middle of the night. After a storm, stay out of damaged rooms until the structure, gas and power are checked, then tarp openings to stop more rain from getting in.

Hot, humid summers make mold a quick problem, and many homes sit over crawlspaces that stay damp. The ground in much of Middle Tennessee is limestone, which can form sinkholes and sends water in unexpected directions. Ice storms and hard freezes also burst pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls, so insulate exposed pipes before winter.
