Living near Town Creek
Town Creek often runs dry, which makes it easy to forget. Barton Drive sits a few hundred feet from it, and the Town Creek Greenway has an access point on the street. During the May 2010 flood, when up to 14 inches of rain fell on Gallatin, the Barton Drive area flooded. On May 8 and 9, 2024, it happened again: the creek overflowed, and residents spent the following days clearing fallen trees and pumping water out of their homes.
One resident told WSMV that the water filled the space under the house, reached up into the flooring and ruined all of the ductwork. That is the typical pattern here: the damage you see in the rooms is only part of it.
What creek water does under a house
Standing water below the floor keeps joists, beams and subfloor wet and raises humidity in the whole house.
Ductwork and HVAC equipment that sit under the house can be filled with contaminated water and usually need replacing.
Insulation under the floor soaks up water and holds it against the wood.
Floodwater is Category 3 Anything porous it touched inside the living space comes out, and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

The flood project upstream
The City of Gallatin and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are building a stormwater berm with a box culvert at Triple Creek Park, upstream on Town Creek, to store water temporarily during peak rainfall. It is designed to reduce flooding downstream. Until it is finished and tested by a real storm, keep flood insurance in mind: the City notes that flooding of private property because of its floodplain location is the owner's responsibility.

FAQ
Water damage restoration on Barton Drive: FAQs
Question not covered here? Call and ask. The phone is answered live day and night.
The water was under my house, not inside. Do I still need water damage restoration on Barton Drive?
Yes. Water under the floor soaks joists, insulation and ductwork, keeps the house humid and leads to odors and mold if it is not pumped out and dried.
Will homeowners insurance pay for creek flooding?
Usually not. Water rising from a creek is flood damage, which needs a separate flood policy. Check your coverage with your agent.
Does wet ductwork have to be replaced?
Ductwork that held floodwater is normally replaced, because the inside cannot be properly cleaned. Your HVAC contractor can confirm what needs to go.
