What Makes Richmond, Indiana Different
Richmond sits on the Ohio line in east central Indiana, and the Whitewater River cuts a deep gorge through the middle of town. Most of the city sits well above the river, but low homes near the gorge and along smaller creeks can take water in long spring rains. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
The city has a large stock of older homes, many with stone or brick basements that seep when the ground is soaked. Damp basements grow mold on paneling, carpet and stored boxes, so run a dehumidifier in summer and keep humidity near 50 percent. Older homes can also have asbestos in pipe wrap, floor tile and plaster, and lead paint if built before 1978. Know what a material is before you tear it out.
Winters bring hard freezes and ice storms. Pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces can split during a cold snap, and the leak often shows up only after the thaw. Spring and summer storms bring high wind, hail and the chance of tornadoes. A battery backup on the sump pump matters most in the storms that cut the power, since those are the ones that bring the heaviest rain.

Checking a License in Richmond
Indiana has no statewide license for general contractors, although plumbers are licensed by the state. Richmond and Wayne County handle contractor licensing and permits locally, so ask the building office what the job needs and check it there. Across the line in Ohio there is no statewide general contractor license either, but the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling contractors.
Neither state has a separate mold license. Ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
