What Makes Hays, Kansas Different
Hays sits on the High Plains of western Kansas, and Big Creek winds along the south side of town. Big Creek has flooded in the past during long, heavy rains, and homes on low ground near it can take water in basements. Creek floodwater is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it, so flood insurance is a separate policy worth pricing.
Spring and summer storms here bring large hail, straight line wind and the chance of tornadoes. Hail breaks shingles and siding, and wind can peel back roofing so rain soaks the attic. Cover any opening as soon as it is safe, take photos, and start drying the same day. Winters swing from mild to bitter cold quickly, and pipes in outside walls can freeze in a single night.
Some of the oldest homes and buildings in Ellis County are built of native limestone, known locally as post rock. Stone walls hold moisture, so a leak behind them can take a long time to dry and can stain plaster. Many homes in town have basements, and a working sump pump and a dehumidifier go a long way toward keeping mold away.

Checking a License in Hays
Kansas does not license general contractors at the state level, though roofing contractors must register with the state Attorney General. Contractor licensing and permits are handled locally, so ask the City of Hays or the Ellis County building office what license the job needs and check it there. Kansas 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.
