Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while waiting for a restoration crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, avoid electrical hazards, and move valuables away from the affected area. Avoid using household equipment not designed for water removal, and don't delay — the longer water sits, the greater the risk of structural damage and mold growth.
Can water damage lead to mold in Chappells properties?
Yes — mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after a water event, particularly in humid conditions. Thorough extraction and structural drying, not just surface cleanup, is the most effective way to prevent mold growth after water damage.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in South Carolina?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Sudden and accidental events like a burst pipe are often covered, while damage from long-term neglect typically is not. A restoration professional can help document the damage to support your claim, but you should always confirm coverage details with your insurance provider.
