Disaster Recovery Episodes

One year after Hurricane Helene, all five families walk through the doors of their rebuilt homes. It's the finale we've been building toward for eleven episodes, and yes, you will cry.

Building science experts seal a house with pressurized mist (yes, really), FEMA tackles the hazardous trees still looming overhead, and Mark gets a history lesson at one of Asheville's most iconic hotels.

Jim's brother drives down from Jersey to tile a bathroom, a father-son roofing duo explains why four nails aren't enough anymore, and Kevin sneaks in a field trip to the Biltmore Estate.

Mark and a mason scope out chimney damage with a camera (it's not pretty), Kevin replaces siding in the mud, and the Army Corps of Engineers drops by to explain what 'relief efforts' actually looks like.

A meteorologist explains how the Blue Ridge Mountains turned Hurricane Helene into a rain machine, while the crew starts ripping out walls, replacing panels, and prepping for the long road ahead.

Season 47 kicks off in Western North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene turned neighborhoods into rivers. But the real star of the premiere? Worker housing from the 1920s that Tom Silva can't stop admiring.
