Local plumbing issues in Nashville
Crawl-space freezes
Ice storms freeze pipes in crawl spaces.
Rock and shallow soil
Limestone near the surface complicates sewer and water line work.
Older drains
Aging cast-iron and clay pipe in older neighborhoods clogs and cracks.
2010 flood
The May 2010 flood showed how quickly the Cumberland River and creeks can flood low-lying Nashville neighborhoods, so backwater valves and sump pumps matter in flood-prone areas.
Infill construction
Many older lots in East Nashville and The Nations have been redeveloped, creating new homes that connect to older sewer mains.
Ice storms
Winter ice storms can knock out power and freeze pipes in homes without backup heat.
Water heater locations
Many Nashville homes keep water heaters in crawl spaces or garages, where leaks can go unnoticed.
