In each case you connect with an independent restoration company serving ZIP codes here. Below you will find what to include, what happens next and the right place to send each kind of question.
Ways to reach a provider
- The request form: name, phone number, ZIP code and the service you need
- The service pages: pick the page closest to your problem to understand the work first
- Call Now: the quickest route if you want to talk through the problem
What to include in your request
- Photos or notes of what you have tried
- Anything that affects the work: pets, children, allergies, locked gates
- The best time for a call and who can give access
- What you saw, where and when it started
- The street address or at least the ZIP code of the property
What happens after you send it
The provider, an independent restoration company serving your ZIP code, gets your details and calls you back. The call covers confirming the address, answering questions, explaining any assessment charge and agreeing an inspection time. This website does not promise an appointment, a price or an arrival window.
Where we connect you: Charleston and nearby cities
Damage Restoration Charleston covers Charleston and the surrounding area. Requests also reach providers serving Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, James Island, West Ashley and Summerville. If your ZIP code is not listed, you can still send a request and the provider will tell you whether the address can be served.
Questions that are not about booking
For a question about information shown on this website, use the form and say that it is a website question. For questions about work already carried out, contact the provider named on your agreement. For questions about licences, ask South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, which licenses contractors.
Emergencies
Fire, a gas smell, an electrical hazard, flooding and a serious allergic reaction are emergencies that need emergency services before anything else, and a request sent here does not replace that call. This website is not an emergency service.
Before you call: a quick checklist
- Note any earlier work or treatments
- Have your address and ZIP code ready
- Write down the date the water or storm damage problem started
- Take two or three clear photos
- Decide who can be home and when
What a useful description looks like
Compare two descriptions. One says, "I have a water or storm damage problem." The other says, "I first noticed it three weeks ago in the back bedroom, it happens mostly at night, I have two photos and I have tried a store-bought product without success." The second lets a provider plan the right inspection and bring the right equipment.
Photos and details that help
- A wide photo that shows where in the property the problem is
- Notes about products you tried and what happened
- The date and time you noticed it and how often since
- The age of the home and any recent repairs
- A close photo of the evidence, with a coin or ruler for scale
Access, pets and timing
Access details matter: who can let the provider in, whether gates are locked, whether pets roam free and when suits you. Keep gate and alarm codes off general forms and give them straight to the provider you choose once you know who it is.
Renters and property managers
Renters should read the lease and notify the landlord or manager in writing, since they may have to authorize or arrange the work. Building managers should say how many units and common areas are involved, so the provider can plan the visit.
After the visit
Once the work is done, keep the invoice, the written findings and the warranty terms. If the problem returns, call the provider first and refer to those documents. If you want to tell the website about your experience or about something unclear on a page, use the form and mark it as feedback.
Replies and what to expect
The form accepts requests at any time. A provider replies according to its own schedule, so no response time is promised by this website. Use Call Now to talk right away, and if you hear nothing back, send the form again or call another provider.
How your details are used
Form details go to an independent provider for one purpose: contacting you about your request. They do not feed a mailing list for unrelated advertisers. What is collected, and who receives it, is explained on the privacy page.
Contact for website questions
Questions about the information here, a coverage list or a guide for instance, go through the form marked as a website question. Say which page and what looks wrong, and a review will follow so that any error can be corrected.
What to expect from the first conversation
- The provider asks for your address, your ZIP code and a description of the problem
- You hear what the assessment involves and whether it carries a charge
- You agree a time for the inspection, or you decide to compare another business
- You receive the findings and a written scope before you agree to any work
- You keep the right to ask questions, take time and say no
