Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Myrtle Beach

Water damage restoration in Myrtle Beach reaches out through Willow Run and Monticello Park, and our local pros handle all of it. A Horry County city where tall buildings stand close together on sand a short distance from the ocean, with the water table a few feet below all of it.

Housing stock

The median home in Myrtle Beach dates to 1994, and 45 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Just under half predates 1990, from low-rise older stock to high-rise buildings whose plant sits below ground. Both arrangements put what matters at the lowest point available.

Climate and water risk

The nearest long-term record — MYRTLE BEACH, 4.8 miles out — puts the annual normal at 53.56 inches, with September heaviest at 6.77. September leads at nearly seven inches within fifty-four for the year, with the heaviest events arriving as tropical systems moving up the coast.

Common water damage problems in Myrtle Beach

  • Sand with the water only a few feet beneath it along the whole of the strip
  • Below-ground plant rooms in tall buildings, where a foot of water stops everything
  • Outfalls crossing the dune line that silt up and block from the beach side
  • Salt-laden air corroding exterior and rooftop equipment far faster than inland

Frequently asked questions

The building lost its elevators and hot water from a flooded basement.

In a tall building the plant nearly always sits below ground, so a flooded lower level takes out the lifts, the heat, the hot water and the pumps at once, and the loss is measured in weeks of service rather than wet carpet. Protection at the ramp, the vents and the areaway matters more than anything upstairs, because the consequence is out of all proportion to the depth.

The outfall to the beach has stopped taking anything.

Two things close these pipes. Sand works back into them from the beach end, and during a system the surf holds water at the mouth for days together, either of which stops the line flowing while rain is still arriving behind it. Nothing inland is at fault. Where one silts up repeatedly it is worth reporting each occasion rather than assuming somebody has it on a list.

Equipment here fails faster than it did inland.

Airborne salt works on coils, fixings, condensers and anything metal left on a roof, and it does so continuously rather than during weather. The link to water damage is indirect but reliable: a corroded pan, a rusted condensate line or a tired air handler leaks for a long time before it stops working. Anything outdoors that holds or carries water belongs on a schedule.
