What Makes Battle Creek, Michigan Different
Battle Creek grew up where the Battle Creek River flows into the Kalamazoo River, in Calhoun County. Most homes here have basements, and many were built in the first half of the 1900s with block or stone foundations. A wet basement is the most common call after a spring thaw or a heavy summer storm.
The two rivers rise after snowmelt and long rains, and low streets near them can flood. Summer storms can drop an inch or more of rain in an hour, and storm sewers back up through floor drains. A standard homeowners policy often does not cover sewer backup, so ask your agent about a sewer and drain backup endorsement.
Winters are long and cold, and pipes on outside walls, in crawlspaces and in unheated porches can freeze and split. The leak often shows up only when the pipe thaws. Humid summers mean a damp basement can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so run a dehumidifier and dry any water the same day.

Checking a License in Battle Creek
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign. Michigan 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.
