What Makes Cookeville, Tennessee Different
Cookeville sits on the Highland Rim at the edge of the Cumberland Plateau, in the heart of the Upper Cumberland. On March 3, 2020, a powerful tornado tore through Putnam County at night and killed 19 people just west of the city. Wind damage opens roofs and walls, and the rain that follows soaks attics and ceilings. Tarp any opening as soon as it is safe, photograph everything and start drying the same day.
The ground here is limestone full of caves and sinkholes. Heavy rain can pour into low spots and push water into crawlspaces and basements, and creeks rise fast when a slow storm stalls. Many homes sit over crawlspaces, and hot, humid summers make them a place where mold and wood rot grow quietly.
Winters bring ice storms and hard freezes now and then. Pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls can split when the power goes out. Keep crawlspace vents closed in winter and insulate the pipes. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Cookeville
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.
