What Makes Traverse City Different
Traverse City gets heavy lake effect snow off Lake Michigan, and long winters mean many freeze and thaw cycles. Ice dams form along the eaves of homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles. Clear snow off the lower edge of the roof with a roof rake from the ground, never from a ladder on ice.
Many cottages and second homes around the bays sit empty in winter. If the heat fails or a pipe freezes, water can run for weeks before anyone finds it. Drain the lines or keep the heat on, and have someone check the home after every cold snap.
Spring snowmelt and heavy rain raise the groundwater, and basements seep. Homes close to the bays and lakes stay damp, which helps mold grow in crawlspaces and closets. A dehumidifier and a working sump pump with a battery backup prevent a lot of damage.

Checking a License in Traverse City
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.
