What Makes Hickory, North Carolina Different
Hickory sits in the foothills of western North Carolina, along the Catawba River and Lake Hickory. Red clay soil sheds heavy rain instead of soaking it in, so water runs toward foundations and into crawlspaces and basements. Keep gutters clear and grade the soil away from the house.
Summers are warm and humid, and many homes sit on crawlspaces that trap moisture. That moisture feeds mold and rot under the floor, and it can make the whole house smell musty. A vapor barrier on the crawlspace floor and a dehumidifier help a lot.
Winter ice storms bring down trees and power lines, and hard freezes split pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces. The remains of hurricanes can also bring days of heavy rain to the foothills. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Hickory
North Carolina licenses general contractors through the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, and plumbing, electrical and heating work need their own state licenses. Ask for the license number and look it up with the board before you sign. North Carolina 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.
