Local conditions in Springfield

Springfield is the Robertson County seat near the Kentucky line, with a downtown built around the county courthouse. The area has a run of flash-flood history. 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, crews made two water rescues in Springfield, one on New Chapel Road near Hoods Branch Road and one at Lahr Road and Highway 49. On May 8, 2024, 8 to 12 inches of rain fell in Robertson County and Armstrong Road turned into what one report called a miniature lake, with water up to mailbox height.

The Tennessee Department of Health notes that mold can start growing within 48 hours of flooding and recommends throwing out wet items that can't be cleaned and dried in that window.

What affects cost

Angi reports national typical costs of $1,223 to $3,758, roughly $10 to $25 per square foot, with basement jobs nationally at $500 to $3,000 and wall cavities at $1,000 to $20,000. Springfield prices vary. Flood jobs usually cost more than leak jobs because more material has to come out. Access to crawl spaces and attics, the number of rooms needing containment, and rebuild all matter.

Robertson County is one of the counties where Tennessee requires the Home Improvement license for residential jobs from $3,000 to $24,999. Above $25,000, the company needs a Tennessee contractor's license, and mold remediation is classification S-F. You can check both on TDCI's Verify a License search.
