About Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant runs along the east side of the Cooper River and the harbor, from the Old Village and Shem Creek out past the IOP Connector to Park West and Carolina Park. The two halves are different places. ZIP 29464, closer to the water, has 1,783 federal flood insurance claims on record and a median home built in 1992. ZIP 29466, to the north, has 205 and a median build year of 2007, so water damage there is more likely to start inside the house than with the tide.

Questions
Do you cover all of Mount Pleasant?
Yes, including ZIPs 29464, 29466. 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.
