What Makes Natchez, Mississippi Different
Natchez sits high on bluffs above the Mississippi River, across from Vidalia, Louisiana. The bluffs keep most of the city above river floods, but the river reached record heights here in spring 2011, and low ground under the hill and across the river took water. The loose, silty soil of the bluffs erodes easily in heavy rain, so watch for runoff cutting toward foundations.
Natchez is famous for its antebellum homes, and much of the city is old. Plaster walls, wood floors, crawlspaces and old plumbing all need care after a leak. Old plaster and heart pine floors can often be dried and saved by a crew that knows old houses, so ask before anything is torn out. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, so do not sand or scrape after water damage.
Summers are long, hot and humid, and wet drywall or carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Gulf storms that move inland bring heavy rain and wind, and spring brings severe storms and tornadoes. Keep air conditioner drain lines clear, keep crawlspace vents and vapor barriers in good shape, and never run a generator indoors or in a garage.

Checking a License in Natchez
Mississippi licenses residential builders and remodelers through the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for jobs above a set size. Ask for the license number and look it up with the board before you sign, and check with the City of Natchez or Adams County about permits. Mississippi 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.
Across the river, Louisiana licenses mold remediation through the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, so for a home in Vidalia or Ferriday, ask any company doing mold work for its mold remediation license and look it up with the board. Residential building and home improvement work fall under the same board.
