​Mountain Home Expertise

​Many homes in Swain County are built on steep mountain lots or near rivers and lakes. These properties often require additional attention to:
  • Crawlspace moisture
  • Surface drainage
  • Foundation movement
  • Retaining walls
  • Elevated decks
  • Exterior stairways
  • Roof drainage
  • Septic systems
  • Private wells
Homes near Fontana Lake and the Nantahala River frequently experience higher moisture levels that can affect crawlspaces, decks, siding, and foundations.
