Sea level at Charleston has risen by 1.3 inches per decade since 1921, nearly double the global rate, and the city recorded a record 14 tidal flood days in 2020.

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Summerville, SC

Matching in South Carolina starts with two questions: where the property is and what kind of water loss it has. From there we connect the owner with an independent local contractor. America Water Damage does not perform the restoration or supervise it. South Carolina regulates residential work through the Residential Builders Commission, part of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. The commission registers residential specialty contractors for repair and improvement work where the undertaking exceeds $500. We are not aware of a South Carolina license specific to water damage restoration, so ask which commission license or registration the contractor holds and verify it with the department. Before work starts in Summerville, SC, ask the contractor for proof of liability insurance and a written scope. Insurance billing is arranged between you and the contractor, so confirm how they handle claims. We set no prices. The contractor quotes the job.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Summerville, SC homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
How quickly should I act after finding water damage?
As soon as you find it. Water keeps moving through flooring, drywall and wall cavities for as long as it is present, so the amount of damage is largely a function of how long materials stay wet. The US Environmental Protection Agency advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Acting early also means the loss is documented sooner, which helps if an insurance claim follows. You can contact us at any hour and we will connect you with a local contractor.
What should I do while waiting for a contractor to arrive?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source by closing the main shutoff valve. Stay out of standing water that may be in contact with electrical outlets or appliances, and switch off power to affected areas only if you can reach the panel safely. Photograph and video everything before you move it, because that record is what a claim is built on. Lift furniture and soft furnishings off wet carpet where you can, and move valuables and documents to a dry room.
What does a water damage restoration contractor actually do?
The work usually runs in stages. The contractor inspects the property and maps where the moisture has reached, often with moisture meters and thermal imaging. Standing water is extracted. Materials that cannot be saved are removed, and drying equipment such as air movers and dehumidifiers is set up and monitored with regular moisture readings. Once the structure is dry, affected surfaces are cleaned and the repairs begin. A good contractor explains each stage in writing before starting, including what they expect to remove and why.
What can be saved and what has to be removed?
It depends mainly on the material and on how contaminated the water was. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and dried. Porous materials such as carpet pad, insulation and drywall are harder to save, and after contact with sewage or floodwater they generally have to be removed. Solid wood and structural framing can often be dried in place if the work starts early. A contractor should tell you what they plan to remove and why before they do it, and you can ask for that in writing.
What should I check before hiring a restoration contractor?
Check the credential that applies where you live, because the rules differ by state. Some states license contractors or require registration, some leave it to cities and counties, and a few license mold work separately. Ask for the license or registration number and verify it with the issuing body. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers compensation cover. Ask for a written scope of work before anything is removed. Many restoration firms also hold IICRC certification, which you can ask to see.
