What Makes Petoskey, Michigan Different
Petoskey sits on Little Traverse Bay in northern Michigan, and cold air crossing Lake Michigan drops heavy lake effect snow on the area most winters. Deep snow on roofs leads to ice dams along the eaves, and meltwater backs up under shingles and into walls. Brown stains on a ceiling near an outside wall are often the first sign. Better attic insulation and venting stop most ice dams, and a roof rake helps after a big snow.
Many homes in the area are summer places that sit empty from fall to spring. A pipe that freezes in January can run for weeks before anyone finds it. Drain the plumbing when you close up, or keep the heat on and use a remote alarm that warns you about low temperature or water on the floor.
Summers are mild, but homes near the water stay humid, and closed up cottages can grow mold on walls, mattresses and stored linens. Air the house out when you open it, run a dehumidifier, and throw out anything soft that smells musty and cannot be washed. If a winter storm cuts the power, never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Petoskey
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign. Michigan 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.
