SERVPRO of Oconee/South Anderson has been busy during the previous winters, mitigating mold in Upstate South Carolina. Our team has noticed an unusually high amount of moisture in crawlspaces and basements. We highly suggest homeowners take a proactive role in preventing mold. To take positive steps, eliminate water, humidity, and allow for air movement.  Maintaining a crawlspace may require vapor barriers and dehumidification if encapsulated.  Homeowners with basements should continue running the HVAC system over the summer, even when away from the Lakes to allow air to circulate. 

SERVPRO of Oconee/South Anderson Counties specializes in the cleanup and restoration of residential and commercial property after a fire, smoke or water damage in Fair Play, Long Creek, Mountain Rest, Newry, Seneca, Salem, Tamassee, Walhalla, Westminster, West Union, Anderson, Belton, Powdersville, Honea Path, Iva, Pelzer, Pendleton, Starr, and Townville.
