What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Once contaminated materials are removed, remaining damp structure needs controlled drying. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.
- Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.
- Stop using toilets, showers, sinks and laundry until a septic company evaluates the system.
- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The 1,078 housing units across the mapped area include many floor plans, so crews assess each loss on site. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Sullivans Island was built in the 1980s. Subfloor seams can allow wastewater to move beyond the first visible spot. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
