What Makes Columbus, Indiana Different
Columbus sits where the Driftwood and Flatrock rivers join to form the East Fork of the White River. In June 2008, record flooding swept through the city, and the hospital and many homes took water. Homes on low ground near the rivers and Haw Creek should know their flood zone and keep a separate flood policy, since a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Summers are hot and humid, and wet drywall and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many homes have basements or crawlspaces, and they seep when heavy spring rain soaks the ground. Keep gutters clear, extend downspouts, and keep a battery backup on the sump pump for storms that knock out the power.
Winters bring hard freezes and the odd ice storm, and pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces can split during a cold snap. Spring storms bring high wind and the chance of tornadoes. Photograph damage before you clean up, and keep receipts for fans, dehumidifiers and tarps.

Checking a License in Columbus
Indiana has no statewide license for general contractors, although plumbers are licensed by the state. Many cities and counties license or register contractors for work that needs a permit, so ask for that local license and check it with the building department. Indiana has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
