Plaster, old wiring, crawl spaces and aging plumbing make restoration in older homes different. Here is what to know.
Nashville has charming older homes, with plaster walls, wood floors, crawl spaces and original plumbing. They are beautiful and also react differently to water, smoke and mold.
Plaster dries slowly and may need special methods. Crawl spaces trap moisture. Old wiring and plumbing can fail. Materials from earlier eras, such as some flooring, insulation and paint, may contain substances like asbestos or lead, so testing before demolition is wise. We plan carefully, protect original features where possible and refer you to specialists when testing or abatement is needed.
