What Makes Columbus Different
Columbus sits on the Chattahoochee River at the edge of the Piedmont, with Phenix City just across the river in Alabama. Summers are long, hot and humid. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours in this heat, so drying has to start the same day.
Spring storms bring tornado warnings, hail and straight line winds, and the remains of Gulf hurricanes can drop heavy rain well inland. Creeks rise quickly in a downpour, and low streets can flood. Trees are everywhere, and a fallen limb through a roof lets rain soak the attic and ceilings below.
Many homes sit on crawlspaces over red clay that holds water against the foundation. A vapor barrier, working gutters and a dehumidifier keep floor framing dry. Many families here rent, so report damage to the landlord in writing. Older homes near downtown were often built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Columbus, Georgia
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. For homes in Phenix City and the rest of the Alabama side, ask for an Alabama home builder license on rebuild work and check it with the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board. 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.
