What Makes Altoona, Pennsylvania Different
Altoona grew up as a railroad city, and many homes are narrow rowhouses and older frame houses on steep hillsides, built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos, so test before you tear anything out.
Winters bring snow, ice and many freeze and thaw cycles. Ice dams form along the eaves of homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak often shows up only when things warm up.
Heavy rain and snowmelt run off the ridges fast, and basements with old stone or block walls seep in wet seasons. A sump pump with a battery backup and a dehumidifier prevent a lot of damage. Long power outages stop both at once. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Altoona
Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractors to register with the state Attorney General’s office. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign. The City of Altoona and many boroughs and townships also require local licensing or permits, so check with your municipality. Pennsylvania has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
