Damage Restoration & Mold Remediation in Columbia, SC | Edmondson Restoration

Common signs include water stains on basement walls or floors, a musty odor, peeling paint, and damp insulation. In Columbia homes near landmarks like the State House or Five Points, ice dams on roofs can cause water to seep into basements, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. If you notice these signs, call Edmondson Restoration immediately to prevent structural damage and mold.

We start by extracting standing water and using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the wood slowly to prevent warping. For severe damage, we may remove and replace affected planks. In neighborhoods like Earlewood or Rosewood, where hardwood floors are common, our team ensures the subfloor and insulation are also dried to avoid future issues.

Yes, we always assess for mold during water damage restoration. Wet insulation in attics or crawl spaces, common in Columbia’s humid climate, can harbor mold within 24-48 hours. We remove contaminated insulation, treat affected areas with antimicrobials, and install new insulation after drying. This integrated approach protects homes near areas like Congaree National Park or downtown Columbia.
