What Makes Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan Different
Sault Ste. Marie sits on the St. Marys River where Lake Superior drains toward Lake Huron, beside the Soo Locks. Cold air crossing Lake Superior brings heavy lake effect snow, and winters here are long even by Michigan standards. Ice dams and frozen pipes cause many of the water losses in town. Good attic insulation and venting keep roof snow from melting and refreezing at the eaves.
Spring can arrive all at once, with deep snow melting fast on still frozen ground. That water heads for basements, especially in older homes with stone or block foundations. Keep downspouts extended, shovel snow back from the foundation, and test the sump pump before the thaw. A basement that stays wet for more than a day or two can start to grow mold.
Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and many homes in town are older frame houses. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint and older insulation, so do not sand or tear out old materials after a leak until you know what they are. Wood stoves and propane heat are common in rural homes nearby, so keep carbon monoxide alarms on every floor.

Checking a License in Sault Ste. Marie
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.
A company based across the river in Ontario still needs a Michigan license to do this work on a home in Michigan, so check the license either way.
