In Cedar Hill, crawl space mold usually comes from humid summer air in vented foundations, poor drainage around the house, and wet ground in low areas near the swamp by the Cedar Hill Swamp Wildlife Management Area. Removal means cleaning or replacing moldy wood and insulation and fixing the moisture source. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local mold remediation company in Cedar Hill.
Cedar Hill conditions
Cedar Hill is a small rural town on U.S. Route 41 in northwestern Robertson County, about 30 miles from Nashville. Its economy grew up serving surrounding farms. A swamp area sits next to the Cedar Hill Swamp Wildlife Management Area across the CSX tracks, and homes on low, wet ground nearby can have soil under the floor that rarely dries out. The Tennessee Department of Health notes that the state's humidity alone can lead to mold growth, and a vented crawl space takes in plenty of it each summer.
What to do first
- Walk the foundation after rain and note where water pools or runs toward the house.
- Clean gutters and extend downspouts several feet from the wall.
- Check under the house for dripping pipes, especially below the kitchen and bathroom.
- Don't scrape or brush the mold yourself if it covers more than about 10 square feet; EPA suggests professional help for larger areas.
- Keep anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system out of the crawl space.
- Arrange an inspection that includes moisture readings and a written scope.
If replacing rotted framing is needed, ask the Cedar Hill town office which office issues building permits for your address before work starts. Health questions can go to the Robertson County Health Department in Springfield.

| What you see | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Ground under the house stays wet | High water table or poor drainage |

What sets the price
Angi reports national ranges of about $500 to $2,000 for crawl space mold remediation and $1,500 to $15,000 for encapsulation. Prices around Middle Tennessee vary. Expect cost to depend on square footage, crawl height, insulation removal, drainage work and whether a vapor barrier, sump or dehumidifier is added. For a house on persistently wet ground, drainage and a sealed barrier often matter more than the cleaning itself. Robertson County is one of the counties where residential jobs from $3,000 to under $25,000 need the state Home Improvement license; at $25,000 and up, a Tennessee contractor's license with the S-F mold remediation classification is required.
