Bartlett population, U.S. Census
Bartlett began as a stagecoach stop called Union Depot and became a city in 1866. It stayed small for a long time. About 1,150 people lived here in 1970, and 57,786 in 2020. So most Bartlett homes were built in the last 50 years, and many are now at the age when pipes, valves and water heaters start to fail.
We cover all of Bartlett and its three ZIP codes. Our base on Pleasant View Road sits inside 38134, so this part of Shelby County is close to home for us. ServiceMaster by Riverside has handled water, fire and mold damage here since 1989.

Why Bartlett Homes Get Water Damage
Water damage in Bartlett usually comes from one of three places: the age of the house, its layout, or the weather.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s Building Boom
38134: median home built 1979
Bartlett grew more than tenfold during the 1970s, and many of the older streets date from that time. Those houses are now roughly 40 to 55 years old. Shutoff valves, drain lines and pipes from that era are still in many of them. When one gives out, water spreads under the flooring and into the walls.
Two-Story Homes From the 1990s and 2000s
38133 and 38135: median home built 1993
Newer subdivisions brought bigger two-story homes with upstairs bathrooms, laundry rooms and HVAC units in the attic. A clogged condensate line or a split washer hose upstairs first shows up as a stain on the ceiling below. By then the drywall and insulation are already wet.
Heavy Rain and Flash Flood Warnings
Bartlett is named in NWS flash flood warnings
When the National Weather Service issues a flash flood warning for Shelby County, Bartlett is on the list. Small creeks, low streets and backyards fill up fast, and water reaches garages and back doors. Outside water carries dirt and bacteria, so our flood cleanup treats it differently from a clean pipe leak.

Insurance
Water Damage and Your Homeowners Insurance
More than eight in ten Bartlett homes are owner-occupied. After "how do I stop the water?", the next question is usually "will my insurance pay for this?"
What Insurers Usually Look At
- Sudden damage, like a burst pipe or a failed water heater, is often covered.
- A slow leak that went on for weeks is often treated as wear and tear.
- Rising water from outside normally needs a separate flood policy.
- Sewer and drain backup is often an add-on to the policy, not part of it.
What to Photograph and Keep
- Photos and video of the water, the source and every room it reached, before cleanup starts.
- The broken part, like a hose, valve or fitting, if it is safe to keep.
- Receipts for anything you spend because of the damage.
- Your claim number. With it, we bill your insurance company for a covered loss.
General information, not insurance advice. Your policy and your adjuster decide what is covered.

What to Do Before Our Crew Arrives

Keep away from wet outlets
Do not walk through water near outlets, power strips or the breaker box. Smell gas? Leave the house and call 911 from outside.
- 2
Close the main valve
Turn the main shutoff clockwise until it stops. Check the garage and the area around the water heater first.

Leak at the street? Call the city
If water is coming up at the meter or from the city line, and you live inside Bartlett city limits, call the Bartlett Water Department.

Save what you can
Carry photos, papers and electronics to a dry room, and lift furniture legs off wet carpet or wood.
