Common Issues Found in Transylvania County Homes
Crawlspace Moisture
Transylvania County receives some of the highest annual rainfall in North Carolina. Excess moisture can contribute to damaged insulation, fungal growth, wood deterioration, and elevated humidity in crawlspaces.
Mountain Drainage
Many homes are built on steep lots where proper grading and drainage are essential to reduce erosion, foundation movement, and water intrusion.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls should be evaluated for movement, cracking, drainage, and structural stability.
Deck Safety
Mountain homes often include elevated decks and porches that should be inspected for proper attachment, support, flashing, guardrails, and handrails.
Private Wells and Septic Systems
Many rural homes rely on private wells and septic systems. Laboratory water testing is available because water quality cannot be determined during a visual inspection.
Chimneys and Fireplaces
Mountain homes frequently include fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. Chimneys should be inspected for visible deterioration, damaged flashing, and other observable concerns.
Radon
Radon levels vary from one home to another. Testing is the only reliable method to determine whether elevated radon levels are present.
