Edneyville is a village in Henderson County, on ZIP 28727 and about 29.4 km south-east of the Asheville anchor. Its lots sit on the rolling ground south-east of the city, where storm runoff finds the lower houses and winter cold can split the lines in the crawl spaces. The line is answered 24/7.
Edneyville is a village in Henderson County, south-east of the main city on rolling ground. Water calls here tend to be about a lower house that takes runoff, a crawl space that stayed wet after a thaw or a line that split in a cold spell.
The village is in a different county, so local trades and permits can differ from the main city's. The local record is limited, so this page covers the general pattern and the crew records the conditions it finds on the day.
If water is running, close the main and keep out of standing water near electricity. Photograph the damage and the marks, and call. The first steps are given on the phone while you wait.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Rain on the rolling ground runs toward the low corners, and the houses there take the water at the foundation and in the crawl space. A storm can bring a steady flow for hours.
Once the storm passes, the saturated ground keeps releasing water, and the crawl space keeps taking it in. The check after a storm should run for several days.
A cold spell that cuts the power can freeze the lines in outside walls and under the house. The water is held in the split until the thaw, when it shows as a stain or a soft board.
Keep the heat on and know where the main is. Check the walls and the crawl space on the first warm day.
The water is pumped out and the silt cleared, then the framing, subfloor and wall cavities are measured and dried. The readings are logged each day until they reach standard.
Materials that cannot be dried are removed and listed, so the record is complete for the insurer and the repair trade.
Clear the gutters, check the downspouts and the grading, and cover the vents and window wells. Walk the lot after the first heavy rain and note where the water went.
A qualified contractor can advise on drainage. The crew's record of the water path is the starting point for that advice.

Check the walls and ceilings on the first warm day, the crawl space access and the lines in outside walls. A stain that appears days after the storm can be meltwater from the roof.
A roofer should look at any roof leak, and the crew records the path of the water inside the house.
Rolling ground gives a lot several slopes at once, and the drainage can change direction within a few metres. A house sitting on a shoulder of the slope may take little water while the house below it takes a great deal. The crew reads the slope before it reads the damage.
Ask the crew to mark the route of the water on a simple sketch of the lot. The sketch shows the contractor where the grading needs attention, and it is a useful part of the record for the insurer. Keep that sketch with the photographs, so the record shows the lot as it was on the day of the loss and not as it was remembered later.
