What Makes Salisbury, Maryland Different
Salisbury sits on the flat, low ground of the Lower Eastern Shore, where the Wicomico River runs out toward the Chesapeake Bay. The water table is high, so crawlspaces and basements stay damp and rain has little room to soak in. Heavy storms and very high tides can flood low streets near the river.
Nor’easters in the cold months and tropical storms in late summer and fall bring long rain and strong wind. Wind driven rain gets around windows and under shingles, and long outages stop sump pumps and dehumidifiers. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Summers are humid, and mold grows quickly on wet wood and drywall. Many homes were built before 1978, so lead paint is common in older neighborhoods and farmhouses. Test before you sand, scrape or tear out old paint, especially where young children live.

Checking a License in Salisbury, Maryland
Maryland requires a license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission for most work on an existing home. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state before you sign. If a job disturbs paint in a home built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe work under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule. Maryland 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.
Delaware requires contractors, like other businesses, to hold a state business license, and plumbers and electricians need state licenses too. Ask for the license numbers, and check with your city or county about any local license and the permits the job needs.
