What causes water damage around Elgin
Storm season is longest from June through November, and humid weather means wet materials dry slowly without equipment. Typical triggers in South Carolina include high humidity that lets mold start quickly on wet materials, crawlspace moisture and leaking supply lines under raised floors and roof leaks after wind and hail. Conditions here include warm, humid weather for much of the year and frequent heavy rain.
Humid air slows drying, which makes structural drying and dehumidification an important part of any job. Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next.
