What Makes Zanesville, Ohio Different
Zanesville grew up where the Licking River meets the Muskingum River, and the Y-Bridge crosses right at that meeting point. The Great Flood of March 1913 put much of the city under water, and flood control dams built later upstream lowered the risk but did not end it. Homes on low ground near either river should know their flood zone and keep a separate flood policy, since a standard homeowners policy does not cover rising water.
The city has many older homes with stone or brick basements, and they seep when spring rain soaks the hillsides. A basement that stays damp grows mold on drywall, carpet and stored boxes. Run a dehumidifier from late spring into fall, keep gutters clear, and extend downspouts several feet from the wall.
Winters in southeast Ohio bring hard freezes, ice and wet snow. Pipes in outside walls, unheated porches and crawlspaces can split during a cold snap, and ice dams can push water under shingles. Summer thunderstorms bring wind that drops trees and cuts power. If your sump pump runs on house power, get a battery backup, because storms that bring heavy rain often cut the power at the same time.

Checking a License in Zanesville
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. Zanesville and many towns in Muskingum County require contractors to register or get permits locally, so check with your building department. Ohio has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
