Florence homes and water damage
The historic districts have older homes on crawlspaces. Many homes in the Sannoner and Wood Avenue historic districts are 19th- and early-1900s houses on crawlspaces with plaster walls, hardwood floors and aging plumbing. Humid summers keep crawlspaces damp, leading to mold and soft subfloors. Many homes near the University of North Alabama are rentals, and tenants change each year, so slow leaks can run for months before anyone reports them. Many newer homes on the edges of the city have attic HVAC and water heaters that can overflow into ceilings when pans or drain lines clog, and large oaks shade older neighborhoods, falling on roofs during storms.
