What Makes Morgantown, West Virginia Different
Morgantown sits on steep hills above the Monongahela River, with Deckers Creek cutting through town. Heavy rain runs downhill fast, and homes at the bottom of a slope or near a creek can take water in the basement or crawlspace. On a hillside, water can seep through foundation walls for days after a storm.
Winters bring snow, ice and many freeze and thaw cycles. Ice dams form along the eaves of homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak often shows up only when things warm up.
Many homes near downtown and the university are older rentals built long before 1978. 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 Morgantown
West Virginia requires most contractors to hold a state contractor license, issued through the West Virginia Division of Labor. Ask for the license number and check it with the state before you sign, and ask your city or county about the permits the job needs. West Virginia 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. If the home was built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
Across the line in Pennsylvania, home improvement contractors register with the state Attorney General’s office, and many boroughs and townships also require local licensing or permits.
