What Makes Decatur, Illinois Different
Decatur sits on the Sangamon River in Macon County, in the flat prairie of central Illinois. A dam on the river forms Lake Decatur, which wraps around the south and east sides of the city. The ground is heavy clay that drains slowly, and wet basements are the most common water problem after a long spring rain.
Central Illinois sees strong thunderstorms and tornadoes most springs and summers. Wind can pull off shingles and drop trees on roofs, and the rain that follows soaks attics and walls. Tarp any opening once it is safe and photograph the damage before cleanup. Keep a generator outside and far from windows and doors.
Many homes in Decatur are older, built during its long run as a factory town, with block or brick basements and old plumbing. Winters are cold, and pipes on outside walls and in crawlspaces freeze and split. Summers are humid, so a damp basement can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Run a dehumidifier all summer.

Checking a License in Decatur
Illinois has no statewide license for general contractors, although roofers need a state license. Many cities and villages keep their own contractor license or registration, so ask for the one that fits your town and check it with the local building department. Illinois has no state mold license. Ask any company for proof of liability insurance and whether its technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
