What Makes Merced Different
Merced sits in the flat San Joaquin Valley, where creeks from the foothills run through town. Most years they stay low, but a string of winter storms can push them over their banks. In January 2023, winter storms flooded homes in parts of Merced and much of Planada. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Summers are long and hot, and air conditioners run for months. A clogged condensate line or a failed drain pan can soak a ceiling or wall quietly. Water heaters in garages and hallway closets are another common source of leaks, so check the drain pan and the connections once a year.
Smoke from wildfires in the Sierra and the foothills settles in the valley in some summers and falls. Fine soot gets into homes through vents and gaps. Change the air filter after heavy smoke and wear an N95 respirator when you clean ash.

Checking a License in Merced
California requires a license from the Contractors State License Board for most home repair work. Look up any company’s license number on the board’s website before you sign, and check that it is active and bonded and that workers compensation insurance is on file. California has no separate state mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation. Asbestos work needs its own certification, so ask about it by name when a job may disturb older materials.
