What Makes New Bern Different
New Bern sits where the Trent River meets the wide Neuse River, on low ground only a few feet above the water. When a hurricane pushes wind up the Neuse, water piles up in the river and floods the city from the water side. Hurricane Florence in September 2018 flooded homes across New Bern this way. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Wind driven rain gets under shingles and around windows, and long power outages stop air conditioning, sump pumps and dehumidifiers at the same time. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Heat and humidity make mold move quickly, so wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many homes sit over crawlspaces, where water collects and feeds mold under the floor. The historic district has many homes built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in New Bern
North Carolina licenses general contractors through the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, and plumbing, electrical and heating work need their own state licenses. Ask for the license number and look it up with the board before you sign. North Carolina 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.
