Many Nashville neighborhoods have new tall-and-skinny homes built on split lots. New construction leaks, often from PEX fittings and attic equipment, are common in the first few years.
Older homes sit on crawlspaces, and newer infill homes are often slab or crawlspace with modern plumbing. Suburban areas in Antioch, Bellevue and Hermitage include many 1970s–1990s homes on crawlspaces, where aging supply lines and water heaters are common leak sources. Hilly lots also send runoff toward foundations during heavy storms.
Licensing in Tennessee: Tennessee requires contractors on projects of $25,000 or more to be licensed by the Board for Licensing Contractors. Home improvement work in some counties needs a separate home improvement license.
