What Makes Somerset, Kentucky Different
Somerset sits on the hills above Lake Cumberland in south central Kentucky. Much of the ground is limestone, and water that soaks into it can open sinkholes or run through cracks into basements and crawlspaces. A new low spot in the yard near the house is worth checking, because it can mean water is washing soil away under the foundation.
Heavy rain comes with spring and summer storms, and steep yards send runoff straight toward homes built into the slopes. Keep gutters clean and downspouts extended, and make sure window wells have covers and working drains. Damp walls and a musty basement in summer are common here, so run a dehumidifier to keep humidity below about 50 percent.
Wind storms and the odd tornado can drop trees onto roofs, and winter ice can snap limbs and power lines. Hard freezes come a few times each winter and can split pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls. Leave a faucet dripping on the coldest nights. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Somerset
Kentucky does not license general contractors at the state level, though plumbing, electrical and heating work need state licensed trades. Ask the City of Somerset or Pulaski County about any local license and the permits the job needs. Kentucky 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.
