FAQ

Questions about this tool

01What drives water damage in Easley and the Upstate?

Hard winter freezes split pipes in crawl spaces and outside walls, summer thunderstorms and the inland remnants of tropical systems flood low ground and creeks, most homes sit on red-clay crawl spaces or basements where water hides and rots the floor, and aging supply lines in older mill-village homes corrode and let go.

02How do I protect my home before a storm?

Clear gutters, downspouts, yard drains, and ditches, move valuables off low floors and out of the crawl space, know where your main water shut-off is, and watch the Saluda River and creek gauges when a system is forecast. If water gets in, call early, because the sooner drying starts the less you lose to mold.

03What should I do before a hard freeze?

Insulate pipes in the crawl space and along exterior walls, disconnect and drain garden hoses, seal drafts near pipe runs, and let a faucet drip on the coldest nights. If a line does split, shut the water at the main and call us right away.

04What should I do the moment water gets into my house?

If it is safe, shut the water off at the main, stay off the wet floor, keep clear of outlets and the panel, and call us. If it is a septic or storm flood, do not touch the water. We talk you through the rest while a crew is on the way.
