It’s a summer cloudburst and Shem Creek is already backing toward Coleman Boulevard. Or a supply line under an Old Village kitchen failed while you were still on the Ravenel Bridge.

We pick up the phone 24/7, and we come ready to extract water, dry to measured goals, and document the loss for you.
We provide residential and commercial property restoration services throughout Mount Pleasant, including:
We also handle reconstruction, plus carpet and upholstery cleaning and air duct and vent cleaning.
Mount Pleasant sits across the Cooper River from Charleston, linked by the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. The town grew from what is now the Old Village. The Mount Pleasant Historic District joined the National Register in 1973, and a larger local Old Village Historic District followed in 1979. Shem Creek runs from Charleston Harbor inland past Coleman Boulevard. Patriots Point, once Hog Island, anchors the harbor. Coleman Boulevard, Chuck Dawley Boulevard, Ben Sawyer Boulevard (SC 703), and U.S. 17 form the main corridors through town.
That mix of harbor edge, creek, and inland neighborhoods shapes our calls. Low blocks near Shem Creek and the Old Village can take tidal water and stormwater at the same time. Coleman Boulevard restaurants and shops sit close to the creek and share walls that pass a leak next door. Farther inland along Chuck Dawley Boulevard and U.S. 17, washer overflows and water heaters still soak floors overnight. Old Village plaster and wood hold moisture longer than modern drywall, so drying has to be measured, not guessed.
We’re PuroClean of Charleston, owned by Matt Russell, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and IICRC-certified restoration professional.

Our shop sits on Cross County Road in North Charleston. Mount Pleasant calls usually mean crossing toward the Cooper River and picking up the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge into town, or working U.S. 17 / Johnnie Dodds Boulevard from the north. When you call, we load extraction pumps, air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters before we roll.
From the Ravenel Bridge landing, Coleman Boulevard carries us toward Shem Creek, the restaurants along the creek, and the Old Village grid around Pitt Street. Chuck Dawley Boulevard and Ben Sawyer Boulevard (SC 703) reach neighborhoods between Coleman and the Isle of Palms Connector corridor. For addresses farther up U.S. 17 toward Long Point Road and the northern side of town, we stay on the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard spine and turn onto the numbered or named streets your dispatcher confirms.
Stormwater on low connectors near Shem Creek, or bridge and highway backups after a hard rain, can slow us. We confirm the open path when you call so gear still arrives ready to work. We already know the Coleman Boulevard spine and the Old Village grid, so pumps and drying equipment roll without wrong turns once we’re across the river. For restoration services Mount Pleasant customers need after a creek flood, indoor leak, or smoke loss, Call Now for Fast Service and we’ll get rolling.
The Town of Mount Pleasant describes two kinds of flooding. Localized flooding comes from blocked drains or drainage that cannot keep up. Storm flooding, or storm surge, is rising water from tropical storms and hurricanes, and in VE flood zones that water can also bring wave action against structures. The town points to an extreme high tide on New Year’s Day in 1987 and Hurricane Hugo in 1989 as events that extensively flooded low areas, with Hugo high-water marks surveyed and kept on town maps.
Shem Creek sits at the center of that risk for many residents and businesses. It runs as a tidal estuary from Charleston Harbor inland past Coleman Boulevard, carrying stormwater from a heavily paved watershed. S.C. Sea Grant research comparing Shem Creek with a more rural creek found the urbanized Shem Creek basin highly vulnerable to compound flooding, when rain and tide stack even in a moderate storm. Outdoor flood water is Category 3 in restoration work, so porous finishes like carpet pad and wet drywall often come out before we clean and dry to measured goals.
Hugo also left a hard mark on Mount Pleasant. Charleston County Public Library storm histories note landfall in the Mount Pleasant area, heavy wind damage, impassable roads from debris, and fishing boats sunk in Shem Creek. Bulls Bay just north of town is often cited for extreme surge marks from that storm. Even when a hurricane stays offshore, wind-driven rain and higher tides can still soak crawl spaces and first floors along the harbor and creek.
The town participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and the Community Rating System (Class 6 at the time of its flood-protection outreach), and it reminds owners that standard property policies do not cover flood losses. Humidity stays high for much of the year, and wet cavities grow mold when they stay damp. We follow IICRC methods: stop the source when we can, extract, clean by Category, and dry to documented moisture goals.

Even after a fire is extinguished, smoke, soot, and odor can continue to affect your home. Fire damage restoration services address visible damage while also helping reduce lingering effects that impact indoor air quality and surfaces.
Mold often develops as a result of unresolved moisture or hidden water damage. Professional mold remediation helps identify affected areas, contain growth, and restore healthy indoor conditions.
Biohazard situations, including crime scene cleanup and virus decontamination, require specialized cleaning and handling to protect health and safety. Biohazard cleanup services address contamination using proper protocols and professional care.
In some cases, property damage requires repairs beyond cleanup and mitigation. Reconstruction services help restore damaged areas of the home after water, fire, or other incidents, supporting a smoother transition from damage to recovery.

Straight answers for Mount Pleasant homeowners, landlords, and business owners
Because Mount Pleasant can get compound flooding when stormwater and tide meet. The town separates localized drainage flooding from storm surge, and Shem Creek’s paved watershed can overwhelm drains even in a moderate rain when the tide is high. S.C. Sea Grant work on Shem Creek calls that urban basin highly vulnerable to those stacked events. If outdoor water enters your home, we treat it as Category 3, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize affected surfaces, and dry to metered goals so mold does not follow in wet cavities.
Localized flooding, in the town’s words, comes from blocked or inadequate drainage. Surge is rising water from tropical systems, and in VE zones it can include wave action against the structure. A clogged ditch after a cloudburst may soak a first floor with Category 3 outdoor water just as a harbor surge can. We map the wet path with moisture meters, separate indoor supply-line water from outdoor flood water when the source is clear, and document Category, wet rooms, and scope for your adjuster, landlord, or property manager.
That is the goal. Creek-side and boulevard storefronts share walls and tight mechanical rooms, so a leak spreads fast. We can schedule around open hours, set containment so staff and guests stay clear of wet areas, and run drying equipment overnight when that helps. You get photos, moisture readings, Category notes, and a clear written scope for your insurer or landlord before work wraps, so the dining room or kitchen can reopen once moisture goals are met and the space is cleared for staff and guests.
We leave Cross County Road in North Charleston and typically cross the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge into Mount Pleasant, then follow Coleman Boulevard toward Shem Creek and the Old Village streets around Pitt Street. Chuck Dawley Boulevard and Ben Sawyer Boulevard cover the mid-town grid between Coleman and the beach connectors. For northern U.S. 17 addresses we use Johnnie Dodds Boulevard and confirm the final turns with you. If a low approach near the creek is underwater, we shift to an open route before the crew sits in a flooded block.
The town states that standard property insurance policies do not cover flood losses, and that NFIP flood insurance is available to owners of insurable buildings or contents in Mount Pleasant. Flooding here includes both surge and localized drainage failures, which can hit AE zones and other mapped areas well beyond oceanfront VE zones. We document photos, moisture readings, and water Category so your flood or homeowners adjuster can see what happened. Your coverage still depends on your policy and deductible, so we will not promise what a carrier will pay.
