What Makes Birmingham Different
Birmingham sits in the path of spring and late fall severe storms. On April 27, 2011, a tornado that had already crossed Tuscaloosa tore through western Birmingham neighborhoods like Pratt City. Hail and straight line winds are far more common, and a damaged roof can leak quietly for months. Tarp any opening the same day and have the roof checked after a big storm.
The city is built across ridges and valleys, and many homes sit on hillside lots with basements. Rain runs downhill toward foundations, and water seeps in along the base of basement walls. Creeks like Village Creek and Valley Creek flood in heavy rain. Grading, gutters and a sump pump do a lot to keep basements dry.
Summers are hot and humid, and crawlspaces and basements grow mold when they stay damp. The red clay soil holds water and moves with wet and dry seasons. Winters bring a few hard freezes that split pipes. Many homes in the older neighborhoods were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Birmingham
Alabama licenses residential builders and remodelers through the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board. Ask for the license number on any rebuild or remodel and look it up with the board before you sign. Alabama has no separate state 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.
