Hurricane season and fire recovery

After hurricanes in South Carolina, generator and electrical fires are a known hazard. Fire restoration here often overlaps with water and wind damage, so documenting each separately helps your claim.

Humidity and smoke odor

Humid air in South Carolina helps smoke odor settle into porous materials, and firefighting water can start mold growth quickly. Drying and odor treatment should begin soon after the property is released.
