Mold & Mildew Removal in Springfield, TN

Signs to look for

• Spots climbing from the floor up a wall after heavy rain.
• Speckles across a bathroom ceiling that return every summer.
• Mildew on boxes, shoes or luggage stored in a closet or garage.
• A musty odor that's stronger with the AC on.
• Peeling paint and soft drywall near a tub or under a window.

Springfield conditions

Springfield, the Robertson County seat about 24 miles from Nashville, has seen water in the wrong places more than once. On September 1, 2017, heavy rain washed out the east side of the Lahr Road bridge and closed Memorial Boulevard at the fairgrounds, and several Robertson County residents reported water inside their homes. On February 23, 2019, flash flooding led to two water rescues in Springfield, one on New Chapel Road near Hoods Branch Road and one at Lahr Road and Highway 49. In May 2024, 8 to 12 inches of rain fell on the county and Armstrong Road became what was described as a miniature lake, with water up to mailbox height.

Beyond flooding, it's the regional basics: humid summers, damp springs and houses closed up with the AC running.

What affects cost

Angi reports national typical ranges of $500 to $1,000 for bathroom mold remediation and $1,000 to $20,000 for mold inside walls, which is where flood-related growth often ends up; Middle Tennessee prices vary. Area, material removal, containment and fixing the moisture source set the price. Robertson County is one of the counties where residential jobs from $3,000 to under $25,000 require the state Home Improvement license, and bigger jobs require a contractor's license with the S-F classification for mold.

What happens when you call

You will reach an independent local company that can set up a visit, find the moisture and explain the scope before work begins. If walls or floors need rebuilding, the City of Springfield Building & Codes office on North Main Street handles permits. Renters can file a complaint about stagnant water, unsanitary conditions or other property maintenance problems through the city's Request Tracker. The Robertson County Health Department is also in Springfield, on South Brown Street.
