SERVPRO of Greater Northern Charleston

SERVPRO of Greater Northern Charleston holds a 4.9-star rating across 226 Google reviews, which matters in North Charleston where the climate works against you. With 77% average humidity and 51 inches of rain yearly, plus homes built around 1992 on average, moisture problems aren't rare. That rating suggests the company has handled plenty of the water damage and mold issues your older home is vulnerable to. When you're dealing with a wet basement or suspicious staining, knowing a contractor has proven experience in your specific environment is reassuring.

Before you hire, understand that this company is listed as a mold inspector - and that's a red flag worth noting. Industry standards flag a conflict of interest when the same firm inspects for mold and then performs the remediation work, since they profit from finding problems. South Carolina doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so verify the contractor holds a current SC Contractor's Licensing Board license and carries liability insurance. A standalone mold inspection in your area typically costs $200-$600, so get that quote in writing and consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector before committing to any remediation work.
