What drying runs into in Nashville
Serving Nashville and the surrounding area, including Germantown, Downtown Nashville, East Nashville, The Gulch, New Heights District, Wedgewood-Houston, Melrose/Waverly, West Nashville.
Local housing stock
The typical Nashville house dates to 1987, with about half of the stock (54.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Brick and siding houses from the 1980s and later, on crawl spaces along the hills and walk-out basements where the lots allow, are the common stock, so a loss is dried from below through the crawl in one house and through a finished basement in the next, and the contractor confirms which before the equipment goes in.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Nashville gets 54.69 inches a year with May heaviest at 5.69, and the drying season runs from a 37.8-degree January to a 78.6-degree July; rain recorded at BERRY HILL 1.6 WNW 3.2 miles away and temperatures at SHELBY BOTTOMS NATURE 3.4 miles away. Winter lows below freezing from December through February put supply lines in crawl spaces at risk, and the thaw that follows is when those losses are found, while the humid summer keeps drying sealed and slow from May onward.
How water losses tend to end in Nashville
- Supply lines in unheated crawl spaces splitting in a January freeze, so the crawl is dried from below once the thaw reveals the leak
- Walk-out basements on hillside lots taking a May storm, so the carpet pad is discarded and the lower drywall cut before the slab is dried
- Humid summer air slowing every drying run, so equipment stays a week where a dry month would need three days
