What Makes Plattsburgh, New York Different
Plattsburgh sits on the western shore of Lake Champlain where the Saranac River meets the lake. In spring 2011, heavy snowmelt and rain pushed the lake to a record high, and homes along the shore and the river mouth took water for weeks. Lake and river floodwater is contaminated, so wet drywall, insulation and carpet it touched should come out, not just be dried.
Winters are long and cold, with wind off the lake and stretches well below zero. Frozen pipes are a common loss, especially in outside walls, unheated porches and older homes with fieldstone or block basements. The ice storm of January 1998 left much of the North Country without power for days, and a cold house with no heat is where pipes split. Know where your main shutoff is before the first deep freeze.
Many homes here were built before 1978, from older houses near downtown to housing built for the former air base. Lead paint and older pipe insulation are common in homes that age, so do not sand, scrape or tear out old materials after a leak until you know what they are. Basements stay damp in summer, so run a dehumidifier and keep humidity below about 50 percent to stop mold.

Checking a License in Plattsburgh
New York State requires a licensed mold assessor and a separate licensed mold remediator for mold jobs over 10 square feet, and the same company cannot do both on one job. Ask for both license numbers and look them up with the state before you sign. Asbestos work in New York must be done by a state licensed asbestos contractor with certified workers.
New York has no statewide license for general contractors, so check with your city, town or county about any local license and the permits the job needs. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance, whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and for older homes, whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
