Doug’s note: “Before we arrive, try to stop the source and photograph everything. Good documentation speeds up approvals.”
Do these safety steps now while you wait for us
- Cut the water and electricity at the mains if it’s safe to do so. If standing water is near outlets or the breaker panel, stay clear and wait for a professional.
- Keep priorities safe. Move dry valuables and lightweight furniture up and away; avoid picking up wet pieces that may cause harm.
- Do not touch dirty water. When the source is a sewer overflow or outside floodwater, consider it dangerous and keep children and animals out.
- Open inner spaces, close outer openings in high humidity. Open interior doors for ventilation; if the air outside is extremely humid, keep exterior doors and windows closed to stop extra moisture from entering.
- Document for insurance. Snap photos and short videos—pre-cleanup, during, and after.

Lakewood Water Damage Restoration vs. Water Mitigation
Mitigation: contain the loss and stabilize the structure
Mitigation means the urgent work done now to reduce further loss: fix the leak, extract standing water, safeguard contents, and stabilize humidity. We measure moisture using hygrometers and thermal cameras, set up containment as needed, and run desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers to pull moisture from air and building materials. In Greenville’s humid climate, this is key to stopping secondary damage and mold.
Restoration: repair, replace, and get back to pre-loss
Restoration is what follows: replacing damaged drywall, baseboards, flooring; re-painting; addressing odor and air quality; and verifying the home is back to normal. Good projects flow from mitigation (stop + dry) to restoration (repair + verify) so you’re not rebuilding over wet materials.
Doug’s note: “If you rush past moisture mapping into rebuilding, you may lock in moisture, which is exactly how hidden mold develops.”
Our goal is to guide Lakewood SC homeowners on prevention and immediate action. Call Array of Solutions at (864) 710-6413 or email scmoldremoval@gmail.com for fast, budget-friendly support within 24 hours.

Common Weather-Related Causes in Lakewood’s Climate—and How We Prevent Mold
HVAC leaks, crawl space humidity, heavy summer storms
Homes in Lakewood SC frequently experience condensate line blockages, storm-related roof leaks, and high crawl space humidity wicking into subfloors. Without action, mold can develop. We correct the source, dry the structure, and tailor prevention to your property.
Verification after drying and when to consider mold testing
Once drying is complete, we check with moisture meters and may run air quality tests or a post-remediation inspection as needed. If odors persist, leaks occurred before, or occupants are sensitive, we’ll review whether mold testing adds value prior to reconstruction.
Doug’s note: “In this climate, ‘feels dry’ won’t cut it—measure it. Wood and drywall need to reach safe moisture targets before walls are closed.”
