"I had my foundation and basement waterproofed from the inside by Groundworx. The first bit wasn’t good bc I got my appt cancelled and then the next appt no one showed up. So, by appt #3 I got Carlton. He was great. Super helpful, knowledgeable, etc. I purchased the services bc we really needed it asap as I had major mold growing in my basement from the previous owners negligence. I do feel like the price was too high but that’s a Groundworx issue. NOT a Carlton issue. I understand the rep doesn’t control the cost of services. For two days and waterproofing it was around 13-14k. It was extensive work but I did the demolition and removal myself to save $$. The work started and we had Von, Tim, Will and another gentleman. The guys were great. Beyond awesome. They explained so much and helped me with my silly questions. We really enjoyed them and they made the job site so clean it was like they were never there (except for my new pump and my ripped out basement haha 😂) they clearly know"

"Job was delayed but once it got underway, it was completed as promised. We found Handyman Xpress to be very reputable and are very pleased with the work. The ceilings are beautiful! We did experience some difficulty getting in touch with Eric at times but for us it was ok because we were not in a urgent situation. We found that he would contact us when he became available so learned to be patient and wait for him. Since we are seasonal residents, it is important to us to have a company we can rely on to provide all sorts of services. We found Handyman Xpress to be this type of company and will hire again in the future for other needs."

"Regarding project #118. I'm so happy that I found them. I have struggled to find the right people to complete the necessary work to fix my water problems once and for all. After spending thousands of dollars with different places I can officially say that Asheville Waterproofing is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and a team of highly skilled people. I had never used home advisor, but I needed to try something different, and I"m glad I did. Thank-you Will, Dave and Moses for your time and energy to get this completed as planned. For anyone who is struggling with ongoing water problems due to increased amounts of rain you should consider seeing what this company can do."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Start your plumbing inspection in the spring by checking pipes and fixtures for winter freeze damage. During the summer, look for slow leaks under sinks and test your well water quality. In the fall, you must insulate exposed pipes and drain outdoor hose bibs before the first freeze hits North Carolina. Throughout the winter, keep cabinet doors open during extreme cold and monitor interior temperatures to prevent frozen lines.

Helpful?

Schedule plumbing immediately if you experience reduced water flow or unusual pipe noises after a hard freeze. When reopening a seasonal home in Highlands, discolored water or low pressure indicates winter damage requiring professional attention. You should also watch for slow drains, yard odors, or wet spots, as these signal a stressed septic system. Finally, address persistent crawl space humidity promptly, as this points to hidden leaks and condensation issues.

Helpful?

Upgrading your plumbing directly prevents severe property damage from burst pipes. In Highlands, proper insulation and freeze protection systems keep your home safe during long cold snaps. Upgrades also regulate water pressure, ensuring showers and appliances perform reliably at high elevations. For seasonal residents, installing accessible shutoff valves and drain-down access points makes closing the home for winter much smoother and protects indoor air quality by preventing hidden moisture buildup.

Helpful?

The harsh winter weather in western NC makes freeze protection essential for plumbing. Frequent freezing temperatures from November through March present a severe risk of burst pipes. You must insulate exposed lines and crawl spaces. Additionally, the heavy annual rainfall increases groundwater pressure, which strains septic systems and outdoor drainage. Schedule any exterior trenching or ground disturbance between late May and early October to avoid early frosts.

Helpful?

To make the best decisions for plumbing, consider your property's elevation, water source, and usage. Highlands sits at a high elevation, which impacts water pressure and pipe freeze risks. You should also verify if your home relies on a private well or a municipal system. Note whether you use a septic tank, as the rocky terrain complicates drainage. Finally, factor in if your home is a seasonal or year-round residence.
