Main water, mold and storm risks in North Carolina
Hurricane flooding
Slow-moving tropical systems bring extreme rainfall, flooding rivers far inland and in the mountains.
Crawlspace moisture
Many homes are on vented crawlspaces that stay humid in summer, causing mold, sagging floors and wood rot.
Ice storms and freezes
Occasional ice storms knock out power and freeze pipes, especially in the piedmont and mountains.

North Carolina questions
Should a North Carolina crawlspace be encapsulated?
Encapsulation (a sealed vapor barrier plus dehumidification) is a common fix for chronically damp crawlspaces, but the drainage and plumbing problems should be fixed first.
How do I verify a North Carolina contractor?
Search the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, and check trade licenses with their respective boards.
