What Makes Beckley, West Virginia Different
Beckley sits high on a plateau in southern West Virginia, at about 2,400 feet. Winters are colder and snowier than in the valleys around it, and a hard cold snap can split pipes in crawlspaces, basements and outside walls. Keep heat on in every room with plumbing, and know where your main water shutoff is before the first freeze.
The steep hollows of southern West Virginia funnel heavy rain into small creeks that rise in minutes. In June 2016, flash flooding hit Rainelle, White Sulphur Springs and many other towns in the region. Floodwater carries sewage, fuel and mud, so treat anything it touched as contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so ask your agent about a separate flood policy if you live near a creek.
Many homes here were built in the coal era, with stone or block basements, older wiring and plaster walls. Damp basements are common, and mold grows on stored boxes, carpet and wood framing when humidity stays high. Run a dehumidifier in summer and keep the basement near 50 percent. Older homes may also have asbestos in pipe wrap, floor tile or siding, so do not tear out old materials until you know what they are.

Checking a License in Beckley
West Virginia requires most contractors to hold a state contractor license, issued through the West Virginia Division of Labor. Ask for the license number and check it with the state before you sign, and ask your city or county about the permits the job needs. West Virginia 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. If the home was built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
