What Makes Cape Girardeau Different
Cape Girardeau sits right on the Mississippi River, and downtown is protected by a floodwall that closes when the river rises. Homes outside the wall and along the creeks can still flood, and heavy rain can back water up into streets and basements when the river is high. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so a separate flood policy is worth a look.
Summers are hot and humid, and mold grows fast. Wet drywall, carpet pad and insulation can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, so drying has to start the same day. Winters bring ice storms and hard freezes that split pipes in exterior walls and unheated crawlspaces.
The area also sits near the New Madrid Seismic Zone, so strap your water heater and know where the gas and water shutoffs are. Strong spring storms bring hail, high wind and tornado warnings. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Cape Girardeau
Missouri does not license general contractors at the state level, and licensing is handled by the city and county. Ask the City of Cape Girardeau, Cape Girardeau County or your own town what license the job needs and check it there. On the Illinois side, roofing contractors are licensed by the state, and other contractor licensing is handled locally, so check with your city or county. Neither state has a 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.
