What causes water, fire and mold damage in Hanahan
The risks in Hanahan in Berkeley County are shaped by South Carolina's climate and housing. South Carolina's Lowcountry floods from storm surge and extreme rainfall, the Midlands and Upstate see flash flooding and severe storms, and year-round humidity keeps crawlspaces damp enough to grow mold. Air-conditioning condensate leaks are a frequent cause of ceiling damage. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.
The calls crews receive most often from this area include:
- Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
- Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
- Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
- Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
- Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
- Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
- Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
- Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
- Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
- Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
Before the crew arrives
The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:
- If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
- Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
- Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
- Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
- After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
- Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Hanahan
Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.
Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Cooking fires are the leading cause year-round, with electrical and heating fires rising in the cooler months. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
