Asbestos in Franklin homes
Franklin has one of the best-preserved historic downtowns in Tennessee, with homes and buildings going back to the 1800s around Main Street and the Hincheyville neighborhood. Beyond the historic core, the town grew steadily through the mid-1900s with brick ranches and small subdivisions, before the big growth of the 1990s and 2000s brought Cool Springs and the large planned neighborhoods most people picture today.
The homes most likely to contain asbestos are:
- Historic homes that were updated in the mid-1900s, often with pipe insulation from old heating systems, cement siding over wood clapboard, or layered flooring over original hardwood.
- 1950s–70s ranches in older neighborhoods close to downtown, with popcorn ceilings, vinyl tile and textured walls.
- Farmhouses and outbuildings in the rural parts of Williamson County, where barns and sheds sometimes have cement-asbestos panels or roofing.
Working on historic homes
Restoring an older Franklin home often means uncovering original materials, which is exactly when asbestos gets disturbed. A careful pre-renovation inspection before work starts tells your contractor which materials need special handling. For exterior work in historic districts, check with the City of Franklin about historic review before removing or replacing siding or other features. Licensed abatement contractors who work on older homes can remove asbestos materials while protecting original features around them.
