Johnson City homes and water damage
The Tree Streets have 1910s–1940s homes with basements and aging plumbing. Newer suburbs have mostly crawlspace and slab homes on hillside lots. Many Tree Streets homes have basements with stone or block foundations, plaster walls and hardwood floors. Newer homes on hillside lots often have crawlspaces or partial basements where runoff, humid summers and leaking supply lines lead to mold. Rentals near ETSU change tenants often, and slow leaks can go unreported for months.

Johnson City questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Johnson City?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Johnson City Development Services.
Is my Johnson City home in a flood zone?
Check FEMA flood maps. Homeowners policies exclude flood, and Helene flooded many homes outside mapped zones.
