Before the crew arrives in Lexington

Lexington has many newer apartments and newcomers. Census figures show 26% of homes in buildings with 5 or more units, against 7% for Lexington County. And 14% of households moved in since 2021. If you are new, find your shutoff now, usually under sinks, behind the washer or in a utility closet. When water spreads, close it, or call the manager for the building valve. Next comes power, so turn off the breakers for wet rooms. Photograph the water, the source and your belongings. Carry what you can to a dry spot. If water is reaching the unit below, tell that neighbor. Then call for water removal, and ask whether ceiling water damage repair will be needed downstairs. You will reach someone 24/7.

What Lexington callers ask

A small clean-water leak can be $150 to $500, while water that sat through much of a house can pass $15,000.

Do you take water damage calls in Lexington?

Yes. Calls from Lexington are answered 24/7 at (833) 728-2327, and the call reaches the restoration company that serves Lexington. Water removal, drying, sewage cleanup and repair are booked on the same call, and the estimate is written before any work starts.

How soon can a crew get to Lexington?

The phone is answered at any hour; the crew's arrival time for Lexington is set on that call. Until they arrive, keep the water off, the power to wet rooms off and the photos coming.

Will my insurance pay for water damage in South Carolina?

Sudden water from a pipe, water heater or appliance is a covered peril on most homeowners policies. Outside flooding is not, and sewer backups need an add-on. Ask your insurer before work starts, and never sign over your insurance benefits under pressure.

Are older homes in Lexington more likely to have water damage?

Older plumbing, original water heaters and old drain lines are common sources of leaks wherever they are found. A leak in an older house is also more likely to reach plaster or plank subfloor, which dries more slowly, so the drying log matters more there.
