What Makes Paducah Different
Paducah sits where the Tennessee River meets the Ohio. The Ohio River flood of 1937 covered most of the city, and a floodwall now protects downtown, with gates that close when the river rises. A floodwall does not stop rain from backing up drains, and low ground outside the wall can still flood. Floodwater from outside is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Spring brings heavy rain, severe storms and tornadoes. Winter can bring ice, and the ice storm of January 2009 left much of western Kentucky without power for days. When the heat is off, pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls can freeze and split, and the leak often shows up only when things warm up. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Summers are hot and humid, so wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many older homes near downtown and the river were 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.

Checking a License in Paducah
Kentucky does not license general contractors at the state level, though plumbing, electrical and heating work need state licensed trades. Ask the City of Paducah or McCracken County about any local license and the permits the job needs.
On the Illinois side, there is no statewide license for general contractors, although roofers need a state license. Many cities keep their own contractor license or registration, so ask for the one that fits your town and check it with the local building department. Neither state has a 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.
