What Makes Ithaca, New York Different
Ithaca sits at the south end of Cayuga Lake, where steep gorges carry Fall Creek, Cascadilla Creek and Six Mile Creek down to the flat valley floor. Heavy rain and snowmelt run off the hills fast, and low neighborhoods on the flats can take water in basements and crawlspaces. A basement that seeps every spring needs a sump pump and a dehumidifier, not just a fan.
Winters bring snow, ice and many freeze and thaw cycles. Ice dams form along the eaves of older homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls. Pipes in exterior walls, porches and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak usually shows up when things warm up.
Much of the housing near downtown and the campuses is old, built long before 1978, and many homes are student rentals. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos, so test before you tear anything out. If you rent, tell the landlord about any leak in writing right away and photograph the damage.

Checking a License in Ithaca
New York State requires a licensed mold assessor and a separate licensed mold remediator for mold jobs over 10 square feet, and the same company cannot do both on one job. Ask for both license numbers and look them up with the state before you sign. Asbestos work in New York must be done by a state licensed asbestos contractor with certified workers.
New York has no statewide license for general contractors, so check with your city, town or county about any local license and the permits the job needs. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance, whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and for older homes, whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
