Damage Restoration Services in Charleston
Every damage restoration service in Charleston starts with a free inspection. These are the calls we get most often, and here's how we handle each one.
Water Damage
A lot of our calls come from tidal flooding, storm water, and wet crawlspaces. Old plumbing in historic homes adds plenty more. We get the water out, bring in dehumidifiers, and come back every day to check moisture until everything reads dry.

Fire and Smoke Damage
Kitchen fires, lightning strikes, and old wiring in historic homes can spread soot all through a house. We clean off the soot, get rid of the smell where it starts, and replace anything that can't be saved.

Mold Remediation
Lowcountry humidity makes it easy for mold to take hold just days after a leak. We usually find it in crawlspaces, behind plaster walls, and in rentals that sat shut for a while. We stop the moisture first, then remove the mold and dry the area out.

Storm Damage
Hurricanes like Hugo in 1989 and Irma in 2017 pushed storm surge onto the peninsula and the islands nearby. Most seasons, wind and rain still find a way through roofs. We dry out the structure, tear out wet materials, and fix the inside.

Commercial Restoration
A flooded restaurant on King Street or a leak in a downtown hotel can shut you down in a hurry. We plan the drying so you can reopen as soon as possible, and we document every step for your insurance company.

Reconstruction
After everything dries, we put back what we had to take out. That might be subfloor, drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, or paint. It's one company from the first call to the last coat of paint.

Hiring a restoration company
How to choose a restoration company in Charleston
Restoration companies in Charleston don't all work the same way. Before you sign anything, it's worth asking these five questions.
Can a crew come out tonight in Charleston?
Water and smoke don't stop causing damage just because it's late. With 24/7 emergency restoration in Charleston, you can get help any time, nights, weekends, and holidays included.
How soon will someone arrive?
We move quickly on emergency calls across Charleston. When you call, we'll give you an arrival time so you're not left waiting and guessing.
Are the inspection and estimate free?
Before anyone starts tearing out walls, you should know what's damaged and what it'll cost to fix. A free inspection and estimate tells you exactly what your Charleston property needs, with nothing to pay upfront.
Is the firm IICRC certified?
IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards for water cleanup, structural drying, and restoration. Ask for the certification details and check them with the IICRC before you hire a restoration company in Charleston.
Will the same team handle repairs?
If one team does both the cleanup and the repairs, there are fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and a lot less for you to manage.
Charleston weather and housing
Common Causes of Water Damage in Charleston
Charleston sits only a few feet above sea level. Water can come from the sky, the harbor, and even the ground.
Tidal flooding
King tides and regular high tides push water into low downtown streets many times a year. Add rain on top, and it gets worse.
Hurricanes
The season lasts from June through November. Surge and wind are the biggest threats to the peninsula and the islands.
Heavy rain
A summer storm can drop inches of rain in an hour. The old drains can't keep up, and the streets flood fast.
Humid crawlspaces
Lots of homes sit on crawlspaces close to the water table. The humidity soaks the insulation and can rot the joists.
The peninsula is full of homes from the 1700s and 1800s with plaster walls, wood floors, and old plumbing. Newer homes in Mount Pleasant and Summerville come with their own AC and plumbing problems.
We see these problems across Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.
Common questions
Charleston Damage Restoration FAQs
What should I do if tidal flooding reaches my Charleston home?
Stay out of the water and keep away from outlets. Move your things up off the floor and take photos of the damage. Once it's safe, we can remove the water and dry out the house.
Should I call my insurance company or a restoration company first in Charleston?
It's usually best to call a restoration company first so drying can start, then report the damage to your insurer the same day. Our photos and moisture readings from before any work begins help your adjuster review the claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Charleston?
Sudden water damage, like a pipe that bursts, is often covered. Flooding usually needs a separate flood policy, and coastal South Carolina policies often come with a named storm deductible. Check your policy or ask your agent to be sure.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Charleston?
The water damage restoration cost in Charleston comes down to how much of the home was affected, what got wet, and whether repairs are needed after drying. Older homes with plaster walls and heart pine floors can take longer to dry the right way. A leak caught early usually costs far less than water that spread through several rooms.
Is the water damage restoration estimate free, and are there any upfront costs?
Both the inspection and the written estimate are free, with no obligation. We walk you through the work and the expected costs, and we talk through any payment details before we start.
Can water damage be repaired in an older Charleston home?
It can. Plaster walls, heart pine floors, and older framing often just need careful drying instead of being torn out. We test as we go so we can save as much of the original as possible.
