What Makes Hazleton, Pennsylvania Different
Hazleton sits high on a mountain top in the anthracite coal region of northeast Pennsylvania, at more than 1,600 feet. Winters are colder and snowier than in the valleys nearby, and frozen pipes are one of the most common water losses. Keep heat on in every room with plumbing during a cold snap, and open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls.
Many homes here are attached row homes and doubles built for mine workers more than a century ago. A leak or burst pipe in one half can spread into the shared wall and the home next door, so shut off water fast and tell your neighbor. These older homes often have stone foundations, plaster walls and old wiring, and they may have asbestos or lead paint. Know what a material is before you tear it out.
Old mine workings lie under much of the region, and the ground above them can settle and crack foundations and pipes. Pennsylvania runs a state mine subsidence insurance program that homeowners here can ask about. Snowmelt and heavy rain can also seep into basements, so keep downspouts extended. Clear snow from furnace and dryer vents after every storm so fumes do not back up into the house.

Checking a License in Hazleton
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 Hazleton and many boroughs and townships nearby 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.
