What Makes Dubuque Different
Dubuque sits on the Mississippi River below high limestone bluffs, near where Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin meet. A flood wall and levees protect downtown from the river, but heavy rain running off the bluffs can flood streets and basements in the neighborhoods below.
The city opened up Bee Branch Creek through the North End to carry storm water that used to flood homes there. Even so, a slow drain, a backed up sewer or a failed sump pump can put water in a basement fast. Water from a floor drain is sewage, so treat it as contaminated, not as clean water.
Winters are long and cold, and pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces freeze and split. Ice dams form on older homes with little attic insulation. Many brick homes near downtown were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Checking a License in Dubuque
Iowa requires most contractors to register with the state, and plumbers and electricians need state licenses. Ask for the registration number and any trade license and check them before you sign. Iowa has no 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.
On the Illinois side, there is no statewide license for general contractors, although roofers need a state license. Many cities 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. In Wisconsin, a contractor who pulls a building permit for work on a one or two family home needs a dwelling contractor credential from the Department of Safety and Professional Services, so ask for it and look it up with the state.
