Disaster Plus, a Mount Pleasant-based restoration company serving the Charleston area for over 37 years, has expanded its mold remediation services to meet growing demand from property owners concerned about indoor air quality and health risks associated with coastal humidity.
The expansion comes as Charleston residents face increasing challenges from elevated moisture levels that create ideal conditions for mold growth in homes and businesses. The company has enhanced its mold remediation protocols and invested in advanced detection equipment to provide more comprehensive assessments and treatment options for affected properties.
"Charleston's unique coastal climate presents ongoing challenges for property owners trying to maintain healthy indoor environments," said Keating Norris, Director of Operations at Disaster Plus. "We're seeing more cases where persistent humidity leads to hidden mold growth behind walls, under flooring, and in HVAC systems. Our expanded services allow us to address these issues more thoroughly and help residents protect their health and property investments."
The enhanced mold remediation program includes comprehensive moisture mapping, advanced air quality testing, and implementation of the latest IICRC-certified remediation techniques. The company's technicians undergo continuous training to stay current with evolving industry standards and best practices for mold detection and removal.
Mold exposure can cause various health issues, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Common symptoms include coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, and, in severe cases, more serious respiratory complications. The expanded services aim to provide faster response times and more thorough remediation to minimize health risks.
Disaster Plus in Charleston, SC has observed a 40 percent increase in mold-related service requests over the past two years, with many cases stemming from undetected water damage, poor ventilation, and inadequate humidity control. The company's expanded capabilities now include specialized treatment for various mold types commonly found in SC coastal properties, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys chartarum.
"Property owners often don't realize they have a mold problem until it becomes visible or causes health symptoms," added Norris. "Our expanded services focus on early detection and prevention, helping residents avoid costly remediation projects and potential health complications down the road."
The company's comprehensive approach addresses not only existing mold but also the underlying moisture issues that enable growth. This includes identifying and repairing water intrusion points, improving ventilation systems, and recommending humidity control solutions tailored to each property's specific needs.
Disaster Plus has served the greater Charleston area since 1986, providing water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, odor abatement, biohazard cleanup, and sewage removal services in addition to mold remediation. As a locally owned and operated company, Disaster Plus maintains IICRC certification and works with all major insurance providers to assist property owners through the restoration process. The company offers 24/7 emergency response services to address urgent property damage situations throughout the Charleston metropolitan area.
