When water hits your home, minutes matter—especially in our humid Startex climate. I’m Douglas Whitehead, owner of Array of Solutions, a locally owned, EPA-registered environmental consultant and restoration partner serving Greenville and nearby areas. Since 2007, my team and I have helped homeowners stop damage fast, dry structures safely, and prevent mold the right way—not just the quick way. If you need Startex water damage restoration, I’m here to help 24/7.
If You Have a Leak or Flood in Upstate SC, Start Here
Doug’s note: “Before we arrive, try to stop the source and photograph everything. Good documentation speeds up approvals.”
Safety first: what to do right away before we arrive
- Shut off water and power (if safe). If water is near outlets or electrical panels, keep out and wait for a pro.
- Protect what matters. Move dry valuables and light furniture to higher ground; avoid lifting wet items that can cause injury.
- Steer clear of possibly contaminated water. If it’s from a sewer backup or rising floodwater outdoors, treat it as hazardous and keep children and pets at a distance.
- 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 your claim. Shoot photos and quick videos—before cleanup, during, and after.
Rapid 24-Hour Water Damage Response
Startex Water Damage Restoration vs. Water Mitigation
Mitigation: halt the damage, stabilize the building
Mitigation is the right-now response to stop more damage: seal the leak, clear standing water, shield contents, and stabilize indoor humidity. We locate moisture using hygrometers and thermal cameras, install containment when necessary, and use desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air and structure. In humid Greenville, this step is vital to avoid secondary damage and mold.
Restoration: repairs, reconstruction, and pre-loss return
Restoration is the next phase: swap out damaged drywall, baseboards, and flooring; repaint; correct odors and air quality; and confirm the home is truly back to normal. Strong projects move from mitigation (stop + dry) to restoration (repair + verify) so you never rebuild on wet materials.
Doug’s note: “Skipping moisture mapping and jumping to rebuild risks sealing in moisture—prime conditions for hidden mold.”
Our goal is to guide Startex 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 Climate Causes in Startex—and How We Prevent Mold
HVAC drain clogs, crawl space humidity, and strong summer thunderstorms
Many Startex SC homes deal with HVAC condensate clogs, thunderstorm roof leaks, and damp crawl spaces that push moisture into subfloors. Left untreated, mold can thrive. We stop the source, dry the structure, and advise on prevention that fits your home.
Post-drying verification & when to test for mold
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: “Here, ‘dry to the touch’ is not proof—measure it. Drywall and wood must meet safe moisture levels before you button up.”

Winter temperatures in Startex SC can drop below freezing, causing pipes to burst and flood homes. Our team responds quickly to extract water and repair damage from burst pipes.
