What Makes Columbia, Tennessee Different
Columbia is the county seat of Maury County, south of Nashville, and the Duck River bends right through town. Much of the county rests on limestone, so sinkholes and low spots can hold water after heavy rain. The river and its creeks can rise fast when a slow storm stalls over Middle Tennessee.
Severe storms and tornadoes cross the area most springs. Wind can peel back shingles or drop a tree on a roof, and the rain that follows soaks the attic. Tarp any opening once it is safe, and keep a generator outside and away from windows. For river or creek flooding, remember that a standard homeowners policy does not cover floodwater.
The north end of the county has grown fast, and many newer homes sit over crawlspaces or on slabs. Summers are hot and humid, so wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Winters bring a few hard freezes, and pipes in crawlspaces can split and leak for days before anyone notices.

Checking a License in Columbia
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. Tennessee has no license for mold inspectors, and only larger mold jobs need a contractor license with a mold remediation classification, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
