What Makes Wheeling, West Virginia Different
Wheeling sits on the Ohio River, and part of the city is on Wheeling Island in the middle of the river. The river has flooded the island and low riverfront streets many times, and Wheeling Creek can rise quickly in a heavy rain. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Much of the valley is steep, and many homes are built into hillsides. Heavy rain runs downhill fast and seeps through old stone and block foundations, so basements take on water in wet seasons. Winters bring snow and many freeze and thaw cycles, and pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements freeze and split.
Wheeling has many large Victorian homes and rowhouses built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos, so test before you tear anything out. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Wheeling
West Virginia requires most contractors to hold a state contractor license, issued through the West Virginia Division of Labor. Ask for the license number and check it with the state before you sign. Ohio has no statewide license for general contractors. The state does license plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and hydronics contractors through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, so ask for that license when a job includes those trades.
Neither state has a separate mold license. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
