What Makes Chattanooga Different
Chattanooga sits in a valley where the Tennessee River bends between steep ridges. Rain runs off the slopes fast, and homes built into hillsides take water in their basements and crawlspaces after long wet spells. Creeks rise quickly in heavy rain, and low streets can flood in a cloudburst.
Severe storms hit in spring and late fall. The April 2011 outbreak brought deadly tornadoes to Apison and Ringgold, and on Easter Sunday in 2020 a tornado tore through East Brainerd and other neighborhoods. Tarp any roof opening the same day, and photograph everything before cleanup starts.
Summers are hot and humid, so crawlspaces and basements grow mold when they stay damp. Much of the area sits on limestone, where sinkholes are common. Winters bring a few hard freezes that split pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls. Many older homes were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Chattanooga
Tennessee licenses contractors through the Board for Licensing Contractors, part of the state Department of Commerce and Insurance. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign, and check that the classification fits the job. For homes on the Georgia side, remember that Georgia licenses residential and general contractors through the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. Ask for the license number and look it up with the Georgia Secretary of State before you sign. 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.
