What Makes Akron Different
Akron winters are cold and snowy, with many freeze and thaw cycles. Ice dams form along the eaves of older homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls. Pipes in exterior walls, porches and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak often shows up during the thaw.
Much of the city was built in the early 1900s during its industrial boom, and many of those homes still stand. They have old basements, plaster walls and paint from long before 1978. Test for lead and asbestos before you tear anything out. Heavy rain can back sewers up into floor drains, so ask a plumber about a backwater valve.
The Cuyahoga River winds through the area in a deep valley, and creeks and ravines carry storm water fast. Spring rain raises groundwater and basements seep along the base of the wall. A sump pump with a battery backup, a dehumidifier and clean gutters prevent a lot of damage.

Checking a License in Akron
Ohio has no statewide license for general contractors. The state does license plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and hydronics contractors through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, so ask for that license when a job includes those trades. Many cities in the area require contractors to register or be licensed locally before they pull permits, so check with your building department. Ohio has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
