This page describes the older housing and drainage conditions in the area and how we handle water damage there.
Housing and History Behind Madison Water Damage
Madison grew up as a bedroom community, including for workers at the DuPont gunpowder plant at Old Hickory beginning in 1918, and some homes were later moved to Madison from the Old Hickory village. Rivergate Mall opened in 1971 and for decades made the area a shopping destination, and Gallatin Pike developed into a busy corridor of dealerships and businesses. The mall closed in February 2026 and the property is planned for mixed-use redevelopment, a reminder that this part of Davidson County is changing.
Madison has many older homes, and homes of that age commonly have original or early-replacement drain lines and supply lines, and some have slab foundations while others have crawlspaces. Older drain lines are more likely to crack, shift or clog with roots, which leads to backups that bring contaminated water indoors.
Common Water Damage Problems in Madison and Rivergate
- Drain line failures and sewer backups in older homes. See Sewage Cleanup.
- Slab leaks and pipe leaks in walls that go unnoticed until flooring cups or the water bill rises.
- Water heater and appliance failures in closets and laundry rooms.
- Roof and gutter problems that send water into attics and ceilings during storms.
- Mold from moisture that was not dried after a past leak. See Mold Remediation.
Because Madison is part of Metro Nashville, questions about permits and public sewer service go through Metro offices, not the Hendersonville or Sumner County ones.
