Flood & Storm Water
Heavy thunderstorms can overwhelm gutters, grading and drainage, sending water into garages, lower floors and crawl spaces. When wind or fallen limbs damage a roof, we provide emergency tarping and board-up, then extract and dry. Water in a crawl space? We dry it out and offer crawl space encapsulation.
Sewage Backup (Category 3)
Toilet overflows and sewer backups are contaminated water. We use protective equipment, remove affected porous materials, and clean and disinfect the area.
Fire & Smoke Damage
Mold Remediation
Damp drywall, carpet pad and framing can start growing mold within 24–48 hours. We contain the area, remove affected materials, and address the moisture source.
Common Causes of Water Damage in Lake Carolina Homes
- Supply line and fitting failures: sinks, toilets, and refrigerator ice-maker lines. Plastic supply lines and compression fittings can fail without warning, in newer homes as well as older ones.
- Water heaters: tank leaks and failed relief valves, often in garages or interior closets.
- Washing machines: burst hoses, especially in second-floor laundry rooms where the water travels down through the ceilings below.
- HVAC condensate: clogged drain lines and overflowing pans from attic air handlers during long, humid Midlands summers.
- Storm runoff: downpours that exceed what gutters and yard drainage can carry.
- Townhome and attached units: a leak in one unit can reach a neighbor’s walls or ceiling, so stopping the water quickly matters.
