Pelzer, South Carolina Restoration Services

Pelzer is a small community in South Carolina, home to roughly 1,400 residents, and like every community it has its share of burst pipes, basement floods, kitchen fires and hidden mold. Water Restoration gives residents and businesses one number to call for all of it: (888) 755-3821, answered around the clock and routed to a restoration company that serves ZIP code 29669.

Local properties include homes spread across the countryside, many on private wells and septic systems, along with barns, shops and seasonal cabins, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Rural properties bring their own issues: well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, and seasonal homes that sit unheated and unwatched.

Common property damage problems in Pelzer

Property owners in Pelzer deal with the same regional risks found throughout South Carolina. 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:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

First steps for Pelzer property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Pelzer

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.
