About Daniel Island
Daniel Island sits between the Cooper and Wando rivers, with Cainhoy across the Wando to the north. Most of the housing is recent: the median home in 29492 was built in 2011, and 40% of occupied homes are rented (Census ACS). In condos and townhomes, a leak often starts in the unit above, so ask the restoration company to note where the water came from for the HOA and both insurers.

Questions
Do you cover all of Daniel Island?
Yes, including ZIP 29492. The company that calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and how many calls follow a storm. Say in your request if water is still coming in, or if anyone at home has asthma or a weak immune system. The company will tell you when they can come.
Do I get a price first?
Ask for a written scope and price before work starts. With active water, drying often starts on the first visit; ask what the first day will cost and how drying is billed before you sign.
