- Remove debris from your yard. Bring in any outdoor furniture. Both light and heavy furniture may be scattered during strong winds. These include things such as trampolines, lawn chairs, pool supplies, and even garden décor.
- Cover windows. This would be necessary to guard against flying debris. Plywood or professionally installed shutters are best.
- Reinforce garage doors. This will prevent wind from entering and causing expensive damage.
- Proper Maintenance. Ensuring that roofing materials or fencing are in good condition to allow them to be more resistant to wind damage.
- Clear clogged rain gutters or downspouts. In the event of heavy rainfall, this will help with the flow of water.

Groundwater Flood Damage and Pack-out Procedures for Kershaw and Lancaster County Residents
10/19/2021 (Permalink)
Sustained rainfall can result in groundwater flooding of your property. Not only do high standing water levels exert significant pressure on your walls and flooring, but they can also carry high levels of contamination.
As a homeowner, you may be able to deal with clean water emergencies yourself. However, floodwaters carry with them water that is extremely dirty and potentially dangerous.You need professional assistance from trained technicians to overcome flood damage to your home.
At SERVPRO, we run a unique out-of-hours emergency service for victims of groundwater, flash flooding, or storm-related events. We will ensure that your property and contents sustain as little harm as possible. We strive to reduce the expense of your claim by using our advanced equipment and professional expertise to repair the damages quickly.
In severe flooding scenarios, it may be necessary to store your contents at the separate facilities while work is undertaken. Separate storage can frequently mitigate against further losses while we work to restore the structure itself. When a pack-out service is necessary, SERVPRO technicians take an automated inventory of your possessions, their condition, and the rooms to which they belong. This ensures you are covered in the unlikely event of transit damages.
As part of the restoration service, SERVPRO can arrange for moving your home’s contents to a secure, clean warehouse where it will be housed while restoration is done to your property. Temperature controlled, secure warehouse at our Kershaw/Lancaster County facility will keep your home’s contents safe.
One advantage of a pack-out procedure is that it can significantly reduce the timeframe of your property restoration. Less furniture provides greater access to all areas of your home's structure. This access can be helpful should we need to perform structural or cavity drying as well as demolition of non-salvageable materials. Once your property has been returned to a sanitary condition, we can use our automated inventory to put furniture and possessions back where we found them.

Ways to Protect Your Home Before a Storm Hits
9/23/2021 (Permalink)
In recent years, parts of the U.S. have experienced extreme weather such as floods, tornadoes, hail, and blizzards that have had a direct impact on homeowners. Even an intense summer thunderstorm in South Carolina can produce high winds and flooding, leaving unexpected damage in its wake. If you do find that a storm has damaged your home, SERVPRO of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties is here to help, with 24/7 emergency response. SERVPRO technicians will assess the damage done to your home and ensure the proper steps are taken with the goal of restoration.
There are some steps homeowners can take to protect their property during stormy weather to reduce the chance of any catastrophic damages. Here are six steps you can take:
- Clear away outdoor items. This includes lawn furniture, tools, sporting equipment. High winds can send these items across yards and into windows.
- Trim the trees. Storms will often snap branches off of large trees which can damage you home or car.
- Consider storm shutters. Your home can still be damaged from strong winds and rains through windows. With a broken window the wind may blow inside to damage the interior.
- Ensure you have backup power. Electrical lines are especially vulnerable in a storm. Fallen branches can snap power lines and lightning can blow up transformers causing power outages. Consider buying a surge protecting device and having an electrician install. Backup home generators can also provide useful in the event there is a long term electricity outage.
- Flood proof your home. Flooding can potentially damage your entire home from floors to below in crawlspaces. Any moisture in these areas can cause mold which would require professional mold remediation.
- Have plans for where you will go. If storm damage forces you out of your home temporarily have an idea of where you and your family will be staying beforehand.

A Hurricane Causes Major Water Damage to Multilevel Building in Bennetsville South Carolina
10/20/2020 (Permalink)
During a hurricane a multilevel building roof fails causing major water damage to a significant amount of files.
When a hurricane is predicted there is generally an idea as to which course the hurricane will travel. Depending on the expected velocity of the storm, that will dictate the type of property protection people will provide for their home or business. When a multilevel downtown office building in Bennettsville had their roof fail during a hurricane, water affected every level of the building. There were rows, and rows of file cabinets that held important documents which needed to be addressed as quickly as possible to save the valuable information they contained. SERVPRO immediately responded with a full crew to start removing the contents of the file cabinets and packing them into boxes. Every box was clearly marked, and inventoried.

9/1/2020 (Permalink)
Afternoon showers turn into heavy thunderstorms leaving a home heavily damaged
It is not uncommon for afternoon showers to roll through South Carolina. Sometimes these showers can produce a severe thunderstorm causing damage to homes, and businesses. One evening the storm seemed to have taken on a severity that seemed to shake the house with every lightning strike. This night the family was enjoying a family evening together. Without any warning as is usually the case when lightning strikes, the sound was deafening as the strike had hit the roof, and traveled through the upstairs bathroom, and caused the wiring to catch fire. The family was able to safely get out of the home, and while they huddled together, they watched the firemen extinguish the blazing fire in their home.
SERVPRO was contacted to provide a Board up to protect the home from further rain damage to the interior and keep curiosity seekers out.

Storm Knocks Down Pine Tree Which Hit Power Line Causing Fire
8/24/2020 (Permalink)
It wasn't a typical storm that caused a pine tree to fall on the power to the house causing a fire
Evening thunderstorms are frequently experienced in Kershaw, and Lancaster Counties. So it makes sense that as you settle down for a quiet evening, that the thunder and lightning that are wreaking havoc outside tend to cause the television to get turned up, and life moves at its usual pace. As our evening progressed so did the storm so it was not too surprising when we lost power. What was surprising was the smoke that began to fill the inside of the house. We frantically checked each room and found no flames, what we did find was smoke coming out of the heating and air system vents. Further investigation found that a pine tree had fallen hitting our power lines, which then shorted out the electricity to the house, thus causing a fire which began in the crawlspace.
Once the fire department had left, we made a call to SERVPRO who immediately responded. The SERVPRO Crew Chief went over the required steps they would take to get us back to “Like it never even happened.” The burned debris was removed, which included SERVPRO hauling off the debris. The crawlspace, and the interior of the house had the soot removed, and the smoke odor was removed as well. There is great satisfaction in hearing the customer say how happy they are with the services provided by SERVPRO.

The Storm That Missed with My Dream Home in Bennettsville South Carolina

It's Official Our Home is on an Island in Bennettsville South Carolina
When buying your property, you were so excited at the prospect of sitting in the dawn of morning at the river right in front of your house and catching breakfast. The amenities of camping and the luxury of home making your life a dream come true. After several days of heavy rain what you once thought to be the perfect way of life turned into a nightmare that you hoped would be exactly that, a nightmare. Greatly concerned about the safety of your family you frantically begin the process of packing up the family, and whatever belonging you could fit into the car. Looking in the rearview mirror is the reflection of wakes from the tires as they forge through the flood waters; in your mind you know it should be your boat making those wakes, not your car. Water damage due to the rising flood waters went close to four feet inside the water damaged home. The water damage affected most of the contents, yet SERVPRO was able to salvage water damaged paperwork using their unique drying process.
The cliché that time is a healer is better suited to this type of occasion knowing SERVPRO is qualified to handle the flooded home once the waters have receded. So many belongings left behind many irreplaceable, yet just knowing that SERVPRO will do their best to preserve what the waters didn’t destroy.
