What Makes Reading Different
Reading is a city of rowhouses, many of them more than 100 years old. In a rowhouse, a leak travels through shared walls and ceilings, so tell your neighbor right away and photograph your damage before anything is removed. Lead paint is common in homes built before 1978, and old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos.
The Schuylkill River runs along the city, and it and creeks like the Tulpehocken rise in heavy rain and in the remnants of tropical storms. Low roads and homes near them have flooded in past storms. Floodwater is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Winters bring snow and freeze and thaw cycles that split pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements. Older stone and brick basements seep in wet seasons and stay damp through the summer. A dehumidifier and a working sump pump keep a basement dry enough to stop mold.

Checking a License in Reading
Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractors to register with the state Attorney General’s office. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign. The City of Reading and many boroughs and townships also require local licensing or permits, so check with your municipality. Pennsylvania has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
