Cross Plains is a rural city of about 1,800 people near I-65 on State Route 25, between Springfield and Gallatin and about 27 miles from Nashville. It is one of the earliest settled places in the region, dating to Kilgore Station in 1778. The Middle Fork of the Red River runs about three-quarters of a mile west of town. Like the rest of Middle Tennessee, Cross Plains has humid summers and stormy springs, and Tennessee's Healthy Homes guidance notes that the state's humidity can lead to mold growth.
What to do now
- Stop the leak and keep records of the repair.
- Estimate the area. Spots under about 10 square feet on hard surfaces can usually be cleaned in-house; EPA suggests professional help for larger areas or after major water damage.
- Close off the room and keep customers, members or tenants out.
- Do not run an air system you suspect is contaminated.
- Discard wet items that cannot be cleaned and dried within 48 hours.
Common signs and their causes
| What you see | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Dark growth around a window unit or wall AC | Condensation collecting at the sill |

Cost drivers
The square footage, the amount of drywall, paneling, insulation and carpet that must go, containment needs in an occupied building and travel time all shape the bid. Angi reports national home figures of $1,223 to $3,758 for a typical job and $10 to $25 per square foot; Robertson County commercial pricing varies. Projects of $25,000 or more require a Tennessee contractor's license, and mold remediation is the S-F classification; Robertson County is on TDCI's list for the Home Improvement license on residential projects from $3,000 to under $25,000. For permits on structural repairs, the City of Cross Plains Building Department on Highway 25 East is the place to ask; call City Hall to confirm before work starts. Health questions can go to the Robertson County Health Department in Springfield.
