What Makes Asheville Different
Hurricane Helene in September 2024 caused historic flooding in and around Asheville. The Swannanoa and French Broad rivers swept through Biltmore Village, the River Arts District and the town of Swannanoa, and landslides and fallen trees cut off whole communities. The city water system was out for weeks.
In the mountains, water moves fast. Heavy rain runs down steep slopes, fills creeks in minutes and pushes mud and debris into homes. Floodwater from outside is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it. Mold grows on wet drywall and framing within a day or two, so remove soaked materials rather than drying them in place.
Many homes sit on crawlspaces or are built into hillsides, with basements that stay damp. Winters bring ice storms and hard freezes that split pipes in crawlspaces. If your home has a private well, have the water tested after any flood before anyone drinks it.

Checking a License in Asheville
North Carolina licenses general contractors through the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, and plumbing, electrical and heating work need their own state licenses. Ask for the license number and look it up with the board before you sign. North Carolina 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.
