What Makes Duluth, Minnesota Different
Duluth climbs a steep hillside above Lake Superior, and many creeks run down through the city to the lake. In June 2012 heavy rain sent those creeks over their banks, washing out streets and flooding basements across the city. On a hillside, water from above runs toward foundations fast, so good grading and gutters matter here.
Winters are long and very cold, with heavy snow. Pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces freeze and split, and ice dams push meltwater into ceilings and walls. Keep the heat on in every room with water lines during a cold snap, and open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls.
Many homes in Duluth and Superior are old, with stone or block basements that seep in the spring thaw. Many 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, and a basement that stays damp needs a dehumidifier.

Checking a License in Duluth
Minnesota requires residential building contractors and remodelers to be licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry. Ask for the license number and look it up with the department before you sign.
Across the bay, Wisconsin credentials dwelling contractors through the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and a contractor who pulls a building permit for work on a one or two family home needs that credential. 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. For older homes, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
