What Makes Morristown, Tennessee Different
Morristown sits in a valley between long ridges in East Tennessee, with Cherokee Lake to the north and Douglas Lake to the south. Heavy rain runs downhill fast off the ridges into low yards, creeks and basements dug into the hillside. Check the lowest corner of the basement after every big storm, before mold has time to start.
Summers are hot and humid, and many homes sit on crawlspaces that trap moist air under the floor. Sweating ductwork, sagging insulation and cupping floors are early signs of trouble. Keep crawlspace vapor barriers in good shape and indoor humidity near 50 percent. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
East Tennessee gets strong thunderstorms and high wind, and winter brings ice and hard freezes now and then. Trees on wooded lots can fall on roofs, and pipes in crawlspaces can split in a cold snap. Tarp any opening the same day. Keep a generator outside and far from windows, since carbon monoxide builds up without warning.

Checking a License in Morristown
Tennessee licenses contractors through the Board for Licensing Contractors, part of the state Department of Commerce and Insurance. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign, and check that the classification fits the job. Tennessee has no license for mold inspectors, and only larger mold jobs need a contractor license with a mold remediation classification, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
