What Makes Hagerstown, Maryland Different
Hagerstown sits in a limestone valley between the mountains, where water moves through cracks in the rock under the ground. Basements can take on water in wet seasons, and sinkholes can open in some areas. Antietam Creek, Conococheague Creek and the Potomac River all rise after long heavy rain.
Winters bring snow, ice and hard freezes. Pipes in exterior walls, old stone basements and crawlspaces freeze and split, and the leak often shows up when things thaw. Know where your main water shutoff is before the first cold snap.
Much of the housing in Hagerstown and the nearby towns was built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos. Test before you tear anything out, especially where young children live.

Checking a License in Hagerstown
Maryland requires a license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission for most work on an existing home. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign. If a job disturbs paint in a home built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe work under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule. Maryland 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.
In Pennsylvania, home improvement contractors register with the state Attorney General’s office. West Virginia requires most contractors to hold a state contractor license, issued through the West Virginia Division of Labor. Look up the number with the right state before you sign.
