What Makes South Bend Different
South Bend sits on the St. Joseph River, and lake effect snow off Lake Michigan can pile up fast here. In February 2018, heavy rain on melting snow sent the St. Joseph River to some of its highest levels on record, flooding homes and basements in South Bend, Mishawaka and Elkhart. Spring melt and heavy summer storms can still overwhelm storm drains and sewers.
Most homes here have basements, and many older ones have block or stone walls that seep when the ground is wet. Sewer backup is usually not covered by a standard policy unless you add it, so ask your agent about a sewer backup endorsement. A backwater valve and a sump pump with a battery backup prevent a lot of damage.
Winters are long and cold, with deep freezes that split pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces and unheated garages. Ice dams form on older homes with little attic insulation. Many homes near downtown and the older neighborhoods were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before you tear anything out.

Checking a License in South Bend
Indiana has no statewide license for general contractors, although plumbers are licensed by the state. Many cities and counties license or register contractors for work that needs a permit, so ask for that local license and check it with the building department. Indiana has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
In Michigan, residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors are licensed through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, so check a license there for work across the state line.
