"Scott McCloskey and his team at Mount Valley Foundation Services provided a great crawl space repair quote for some of our existing termite and moisture damage and settlement remediations. Best work proposal I have received. Scott went to extra lengths to make sure we were confident in the repairs and spent a lot of time fielding our questions."

"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"

"Grant and his crew did a wonderful job. I was so stressed because after telling the people at pods the contents of my house they assured me a 16’ pod would be sufficient. On moving day I needed 2 pods. The second pod was not available. Budget Pro Movers took over and told me not to worry they would take care of everything and they did. I am very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."

"The guys with Tri State were excellent. They not only installed our water filter, they also corrected some plumbing issues at our new home no charge. They seemed to really enjoy the science behind plumbing and so they knew exactly what they were doing. Communication was excellent and they were very friendly guys. I would recommend them."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

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?

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.
