What Makes Iowa City Different
Iowa City sits on the Iowa River, with the Coralville Reservoir just upstream. In 2008 the river flooded parts of Iowa City and Coralville, including buildings on the university campus. Heavy rain and spring snowmelt can still raise the river and the creeks, so homes on low ground should check their flood risk.
Winters are cold, and pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces can freeze and split. Most homes have basements, and spring rain raises the groundwater. A sump pump with a battery backup and gutters that carry water well away from the house prevent a lot of damage. Summer brings severe storms, hail and strong wind.
Many rentals near the university and downtown are older homes split into apartments, where a leak in one unit reaches the next. Tell the landlord about a leak right away and photograph the damage. Many of these homes were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Iowa City
Iowa requires most contractors to register with the state, and plumbers and electricians need state licenses. Ask for the registration number and any trade license and check them before you sign. Iowa 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.
