America Water Damage connects property owners in South Carolina with independent local water damage restoration contractors. We do not carry out the work ourselves. When water gets into a home or a commercial building, we take the details and put the owner in touch with a contractor who serves their area. NOAA's state climate summary says 19 hurricanes made landfall on the South Carolina coast between 1901 and 2020. In October 2015 catastrophic flooding hit the central and coastal regions, breaking the state's 24-hour rainfall record with 17.7 inches at one location. 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. The climate is humid, with hot summers and mild winters. That is the backdrop for water damage in South Carolina. If you are dealing with it in Salem, SC, contact us at any hour.

Why choose us for water damage restoration
Why Use Our Network in Salem, 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 Salem, 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 Salem, SC homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.
Contact UsIs flood damage covered differently from other water damage?
Usually, yes. Insurers generally draw a line between water that comes from inside the building, such as a supply line or an appliance, and rising water that comes from outside, such as a river, storm surge or surface runoff. The second kind is what flood insurance is designed for, including policies written through the National Flood Insurance Program. Which category a loss falls into is a decision for your insurer, not for us or for a contractor. If you are unsure which policy applies, report the loss under both and let the insurers respond.
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.
Can I dry out water damage myself?
For a small spill caught quickly on a hard surface, often yes. The difficulty is that water travels where you cannot see it, under flooring, behind baseboards and into wall cavities, and a surface that feels dry can sit on top of materials that are still wet. Household fans move air but do not remove moisture from it the way professional dehumidifiers do. If the water has soaked into carpet pad, drywall or subfloor, or if it came from a contaminated source, an inspection with moisture meters is the safer choice.
How long does drying take?
There is no single answer, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises one before seeing the property. Drying time depends on how much water was involved, how long materials were wet, what they are made of and the conditions in the building. Dense materials such as hardwood, plaster and concrete release moisture more slowly than drywall or carpet. The honest measure is not the calendar but the readings. A contractor should track moisture levels regularly and keep drying until the affected materials reach a dry standard.
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.
