Waterproofing Services Serving the Asheville Area
7 local businesses listed
Waterproofing in the mountains is mostly a story about pressure. A house built into a slope has soil holding water against one or more foundation walls, and after a wet stretch that water pushes. It finds mortar joints, cold joints, and cracks, and it ends up in the crawl space or basement.
Crawl space encapsulation is the most common local version of this work — sealing the ground and walls, managing humidity, and often adding a sump or interior drain. Done properly it changes how the whole house feels, because in most homes a meaningful share of the air you breathe upstairs came up from under the floor first.
We’re still growing this category, and the business listed serves Asheville.
Start outside before you spend money inside. Gutters, downspout extensions, and the grade immediately around the foundation solve a surprising number of “waterproofing” problems for a fraction of the cost. Any contractor who quotes an interior system without walking the exterior first hasn’t diagnosed the problem yet.

BRS Pros (Basement & Radon Solutions)
Basement & Radon Solutions — BRS Pros — is a Hendersonville company covering the below-grade side of the house: basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation and repair, foundation repair, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers. The radon half of the business is the less common piece. Western North Carolina sits on granite and gneiss bedrock, and radon readings here run higher than much of the state, so testing before a real estate transaction is routine in some Buncombe and Henderson County neighborhoods. BRS handles both the testing and the mitigation system. The EPA's [radon guidance for homeowners](https://www.epa.gov/radon) is a reasonable place to start if you're unsure whether to test. They inspect before quoting, design solutions per house rather than off a menu, and follow up after the job to confirm the system is doing what it should. Service area covers Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

DryWorx Asheville
DryWorx is a veteran-owned, family-run company working out of Burnsville, up in Yancey County, and covering the greater Asheville area from Arden and Biltmore Forest through Black Mountain. The list goes further into structural work than most crawl space companies: alongside encapsulation, ventilation, dehumidification, and waterproofing, they repair the floor system itself, including dry rot. That matters because rot in the framing above a damp crawl space is the damage people find last, usually after the moisture problem has been running for years. Basement work is here too, with drainage systems, crack repair, and sump pump installation and service. Being based in Burnsville puts them closer to the northern end of the region than most companies on this page, which is worth knowing if you're in Yancey or Madison County.

Foundation and Crawl Space Pros
Foundation and Crawl Space Pros is owned by Jack and Kayla Kitching, who ran Oak and Ivy Builders before starting this business specifically around crawl space and foundation work in the mountains. They're a licensed North Carolina General Contractor, which is worth noting in this category. A general contractor's license covers structural work outright, where a lot of crawl space companies are set up only to sell encapsulation and moisture control. The service mix runs crawl space encapsulation, foundation waterproofing and repair, and insulation, including spray foam and blown-in cellulose. Doing the insulation and the encapsulation together makes sense on a mountain crawl space, since sealing the space changes how the floor above needs to be insulated. Coverage is unusually wide for an independent: Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, Madison, Transylvania, Yancey, and McDowell counties, including Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Waynesville, Brevard, Mars Hill, and Marshall.

K-Wall Poured Walls, LLC
K-Wall Poured Walls has been pouring foundations from Foundation Way in Fletcher since 1993 — an address that is either a coincidence or a good sign, depending on how you look at it. They both manufacture and install, which is the unusual part. Alongside conventional poured walls they produce **PreKast** precast panels at their own plant, so a foundation can go in faster and in weather that would stop a site pour. The line extends to flatwork, decorative concrete, epoxy floors, waterproofing, and gypsum underlayments — including Gyp-Span Radiant for in-floor heating. The Concrete Foundations Association of America named them **Contractor of the Year in 2008**, and they remain a CFA member and a member of the Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains. One practical argument they make for poured over block: concrete off-gasses nothing and gives fungi nothing to hold onto — worth weighing in a climate as damp as this one. A sister operation runs in Traverse City, Michigan.
