What Makes Watertown, New York Different
Watertown sits on the Black River a few miles inland from the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Lake effect snow can bury the area in heavy snow, and long stretches of deep cold follow. Ice dams and frozen pipes are some of the most common causes of water damage here. Pipes in exterior walls, porches and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak usually shows up when things warm up.
The ice storm of January 1998 coated the region in ice and left many homes without power for days. When the power and heat are out in winter, plumbing can freeze fast, so know how to shut off the water and drain the lines. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Spring snowmelt raises the river and the water table, and basements with old stone or block walls seep. Much of the housing near downtown was built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition. Many families near Fort Drum rent, and renters should tell the landlord about any leak in writing right away and photograph the damage.

Checking a License in Watertown, New York
New York State requires a licensed mold assessor and a separate licensed mold remediator for mold jobs over 10 square feet, and the same company cannot do both on one job. Ask for both license numbers and look them up with the state before you sign. Asbestos work in New York must be done by a state licensed asbestos contractor with certified workers.
New York has no statewide license for general contractors, so check with your city, town or county about any local license and the permits the job needs. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance, whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and for older homes, whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
