When disaster strikes your Charleston home or business—whether it’s a flood, fire, or mold infestation—every moment counts. In these stressful situations, it’s tempting to go with the fastest or cheapest option, like a general contractor. But when it comes to protecting your property and health, choosing a specialized restoration company like PuroClean of Charleston makes all the difference.
As your local Paramedics of Property Damage, we are trained, equipped, and ready to handle property emergencies with precision and care—whether large-scale or small but critical.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Call a Restoration Expert
Homeowners and property managers face a wide range of maintenance issues, but not all are created equal. Some, like water leaks or mold patches, may seem minor at first. However, without swift, professional intervention, these problems can quickly spiral into expensive and hazardous situations.
That’s why knowing who to call before disaster strikes is crucial. At PuroClean of Charleston, we’re available 24/7 to respond when your property needs immediate help.
What Restoration Services Do Restoration Companies Do?
There are many different responsibilities that a restoration company undertakes. They may go to a residence or a business location, for example, to assess the damage caused by water or fire. Upon arrival, they get to work evaluating the property’s immediate needs and begin repair work, such as structural drying, smoke odor removal, and carpentry restoration projects. In addition, they specialize in removing hazardous material that is unsafe for humans and animals alike after a repair is complete.
There are many factors that can result in property damage. While a home is susceptible to damages big and small, there are typically four main categories that warrant a business to contact a restoration service: fire & smoke damage, water damage, mold remediation, and biohazard cleanup.

Water Damage Restoration
Time is critical when dealing with water intrusion. Within hours, moisture can lead to mold growth, warping of wood floors, and damage to drywall and insulation. Whether the water comes from storm damage, burst pipes, or a leaking appliance, our Charleston-based team arrives quickly with powerful extraction tools, air movers, and dehumidifiers to stop damage in its tracks.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
After the fire is out, dangerous toxins and odors often linger. PuroClean of Charleston safely removes soot, smoke residue, and compromised materials while salvaging items that can be restored. We use air scrubbers and deodorization tools to improve air quality and help bring your home or business back to a safe, livable condition.
Important: Never attempt electrical or fire cleanup yourself. It’s not just risky—it’s dangerous. Trust the professionals to ensure safe restoration.

Mold Remediation
If there’s something that you should never try and fix on your own, it’s mold issues, , it is much better to contact restoration specialists for this. Mold is extremely dangerous and can cause a wide range of health problems, such as respiratory illnesses and skin infections.
Mold is also bad for your home’s health. If left alone, it will grow exponentially and can lead to serious structural damage, such as rotting wood and weak ceilings. Some mold species can emit mycotoxins that can be harmful or even fatal to humans, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Even though mold isn’t always visible, it can still have the same negative effects on people and property. A restoration company, like PuroClean, can properly locate and remediate the mold and take steps to help prevent regrowth. At PuroClean, we are extremely knowledgeable about mold and have state-of-the-art equipment to locate mold hidden in unlikely areas.

Biohazard Cleanup
Biohazard situations, including sewage backups, trauma scenes, hoarding, and unattended deaths, require specialized care and discretion. Our Charleston biohazard cleanup crew is trained to safely handle hazardous materials using personal protective equipment (PPE) and EPA-approved disinfectants. We follow all local, state, and federal regulations to ensure complete decontamination and proper disposal.
