What Makes La Crosse Different
La Crosse sits where the Black and La Crosse rivers meet the Mississippi, with tall bluffs to the east. Spring snowmelt and heavy rain raise the Mississippi, and low neighborhoods and river islands can flood in high water years. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flooding, so flood insurance is worth a look near the river.
The bluffs and narrow valleys, called coulees, send runoff down fast in a summer downpour. Homes at the base of a slope can take water through basement walls and window wells. Winters are cold, and pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces freeze and split, while ice dams push meltwater into ceilings.
Many homes near downtown and the universities are old, and many were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition. Most homes have basements, and a sump pump with a battery backup prevents a lot of damage. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Checking a License in La Crosse
Wisconsin credentials dwelling contractors through the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and a contractor who pulls a building permit for work on a one or two family home needs that credential. Ask for it and look it up with the state before you sign.
Across the river, Minnesota requires residential building contractors and remodelers to be licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry. Neither state has a 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. For older homes, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
