What Makes St. Joseph, Missouri Different
St. Joseph sits on the bluffs above the Missouri River, and the low ground along the river has a long history of flooding. The river flooded low areas here in 1993 and again in 2011. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so homes on the bottomland need a separate flood policy.
The city has many large brick homes and mansions from the late 1800s, along with plenty of older houses built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos. Test before you tear anything out, and ask for a crew certified for lead safe renovation.
Winters bring hard freezes, and pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements split when the cold settles in. Spring and summer storms bring heavy rain, hail and strong wind, and old stone and brick foundations seep when the ground is soaked. A working sump pump and a dehumidifier stop a lot of damage.

Checking a License in St. Joseph, Missouri
Neither Missouri nor Kansas licenses general contractors at the state level. Licensing is handled by cities and counties, so ask the city where the home sits what license the job needs and check it there. In Kansas, roofing contractors must also register with the state Attorney General. Neither state has a 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.
