What Makes Milwaukee Different
Milwaukee winters are long and cold. Pipes in exterior walls, unheated porches and crawlspaces freeze and split, and the leak often starts during the thaw. Ice dams form along the eaves of older houses with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls.
Nearly every home has a basement, and many are old stone or block foundations that seep in spring rain and snowmelt. Heavy summer storms can also overload sewers and push water up through floor drains. A sump pump with a battery backup, a backwater valve and downspouts that drain well away from the house prevent a lot of damage.
The city is full of homes built before 1978, including the upper and lower duplexes found on so many city blocks. Expect lead paint on old windows and trim. Many older homes also have lead water service lines, and asbestos can turn up on old boiler pipes and basement floor tile. Test before you tear out.

Checking a License in Milwaukee
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. Wisconsin 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. For older homes, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
