What Makes Wilmington Different
Wilmington sits where the Brandywine and the Christina River meet the Delaware River. The Brandywine rises fast in heavy rain and has flooded homes and streets near its banks in past storms, and low areas along the Christina and the Delaware can flood in coastal storms and very high tides.
Much of the city is rowhouses and older brick homes, many 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. In a rowhouse, a leak travels through shared walls, so tell your neighbor right away.
Winters bring nor’easters, snow and freeze and thaw cycles, and pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements can split. Summers are humid, and basements that seep stay damp enough to grow mold. A dehumidifier, a working sump pump and downspouts that carry water away from the house prevent a lot of damage.

Checking a License in Wilmington, Delaware
Delaware requires contractors, like other businesses, to hold a state business license, and plumbers and electricians need state licenses too. Ask for the license numbers, and check with your city or county about any local license and the permits the job needs. For mold work, ask the company which license, if any, the job requires and check with the state before you sign. 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.
In Pennsylvania, home improvement contractors register with the state Attorney General’s office. In Maryland, most work on an existing home needs a license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. Look up the number with the right state before you sign.
