What Makes Erie, Pennsylvania Different
Erie sits on the shore of Lake Erie and gets some of the heaviest lake effect snow in the country. Over Christmas 2017, the city got more than five feet of snow in about two days. Heavy snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams that push water under shingles into ceilings and walls. Better attic insulation and ventilation stop most ice dams.
Long, cold winters freeze pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces and unheated porches, and the leak often shows up when things warm up. Know where your main water shutoff is. When all that snow melts in spring, groundwater rises and pushes into basements. A sump pump with a battery backup and gutters that carry water well away from the house help a lot.
Much of the housing in Erie was built long before 1978, with basements, plaster walls and lead paint. Old pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos. Test before you tear anything out, and keep young children away from dust from older homes.

Checking a License in Erie
Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractors to register with the state Attorney General’s office. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign. The City of Erie and many boroughs and townships also require local licensing or permits, so check with your municipality. Pennsylvania has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
