What Makes Alexandria, Minnesota Different
Alexandria sits in the middle of a chain of lakes in west central Minnesota, and many homes and cabins face the water. Winters are long, with weeks below zero, and a pipe in an outside wall or an unheated crawlspace can split in one cold night. Frozen pipes are the most common winter water loss here. Keep the heat at 55 degrees or more, open sink cabinets on outside walls, and know where your main shutoff is.
Snow piles up on roofs through the winter, and heat escaping through the attic melts it from below. The water refreezes at the cold eaves and builds ice dams that push meltwater under the shingles. Brown stains on the ceiling near an outside wall are a sign. Good attic insulation and venting stop most ice dams, and a roof rake helps after a big storm.
In spring, snowmelt and rain can raise the water table and seep into basements, and summer brings strong thunderstorms with hail and wind. Keep the sump pump tested before the thaw and add a battery backup if the power goes out often. After a storm knocks the power out, never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Alexandria
Minnesota requires residential building contractors and remodelers to be licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry. Ask for the license number and look it up with the department before you sign. Minnesota has no separate mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
