A bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom with mold on a wall or ceiling, plus the moisture source fixed.

On the job
Mold remediation work in Landrum homes
Storm season flood risks for Landrum homes
Heavy spring rain and thunderstorms in South Carolina can quickly overwhelm home drainage systems, leading to water intrusion.
Basements and crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable, and mold growth can begin on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours.
For independent guidance on mold, moisture, and safe cleanup, see EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home and CDC: Mold and health.
- Spring spring rain and runoff pooling against foundation walls
- Heavy summer thunderstorms overwhelming gutters and downspouts
- Window well flooding into basement living space
- Sump pump failure during a storm event
How flood water differs from a clean water leak
Storm and flood water is classified as Category 3, containing contaminants that require a specific remediation scope per industry standards.
Materials like drywall and carpet padding that absorb flood water are removed, not salvaged in place.
- Porous materials removed rather than dried when contamination risk is present
- Hard surfaces cleaned and disinfected before drying
- Personal belongings assessed separately for salvage potential
The importance of rapid response after a storm
The timeframe for mold establishment after flooding is brief, especially in warm, enclosed spaces like basements.
A prompt response from a Landrum remediation crew after water intrusion can limit the extent of structural damage and material replacement.
- Call as soon as it is safe to do so, even before water fully recedes
- Move salvageable items off wet flooring if you can do it safely
- Leave the HVAC system off until ductwork that took on water is inspected
Coordinating with insurance following storm damage
Proper documentation, including photos and moisture logs, supports the scope of work for potential insurance claims.
After the job
After the job: keeping it from coming back

Maintain basement humidity levels between 30 to 50 percent
If it shows up again, or a new leak starts, call (844) 352-3560, the line is answered 24/7.
Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Landrum, SC: common questions
How quickly should I call after a flood?
Contact should be made as soon as safely possible. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours, so a faster start helps preserve the structure.
Can occupants stay in the home during the remediation?
It depends on the extent of affected areas. The on-site technician will outline which spaces are contained and inaccessible during work.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related mold?
Coverage varies by policy. The remediation process includes documentation such as photos and moisture readings to support any claim.
Is flood water mold remediation different from a leak cleanup?
Yes. Due to contaminants in flood water, porous materials that are wet must be removed and cannot be simply dried and reinstalled.
Do you address basement flooding from spring rain?
Yes. Remediation of Landrum basements and crawl spaces affected by spring runoff and rain is a common service.
