What buildings in Western North Carolina are up against
Mountain buildings deal with heavy orographic rain, more freeze-thaw cycles, snow and ice at roof edges, and steep sites that push water toward foundations. Since Helene in 2024, many owners are also reassessing roofs, walls and below-grade waterproofing for storm damage and resilience.
