All Water Damage Restoration Companies in Charleston, SC
This is the full list behind our top picks: every company we've verified as genuinely serving the Charleston metro with water damage restoration — extraction, structural drying, and the related scopes (mold, sewage, crawl space) that Lowcountry homes actually need.
Facts come from each company's own published website. Where we haven't yet confirmed something — a Google rating, a certification claim — the field shows “—” instead of a guess. Companies appear with their stated service areas; nearly all cover the whole tri-county area (Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester), so don't skip a company one town over.
Seaside Restoration
Best local all-around
24/7
A family-owned Charleston firm (husband-and-wife team, headquartered in North Charleston) that has become the local answer to the franchises. Seaside runs 24/7 live local dispatch — no call center — advertises a two-hour average on-site arrival, and handles water, fire, mold and biohazard in-house with IICRC-certified technicians. Their published service list reads like a Charleston checklist: water extraction, structural drying, thermal-imaging moisture mapping, mold removal with third-party air testing, and crawl-space-adjacent work. They bill insurance directly and advertise no after-hours fees.

Disaster Plus
Best for crawl space & flood work
24/7
One of the longest-running independent restoration companies in the Lowcountry, Disaster Plus covers the tri-county area and the islands with 24/7 emergency response. What sets them apart for Charleston specifically: they list crawl space water damage cleanup and water removal as an explicit service — the most common under-house problem in the metro — alongside truck-mounted extraction, Injectidry hardwood-floor drying, and flood and hurricane damage work. A good first call when the water is under the house, not in it.

RestoPros of Charleston
Best for free inspections
24/7
The Charleston franchise of the RestoPros network, run by a local crew out of North Charleston. They advertise 24/7 emergency response with a real person on the line, free inspections with no hidden costs, and same-day scheduling, plus insurance-claim assistance. Services cover water, mold, fire/smoke and storm damage, and reviews they publish name individual technicians — a sign the team doing the work is stable and local.

PuroClean of Charleston
Best veteran-owned franchise
24/7
The local PuroClean franchise ("PuroClean Disaster Restoration Specialists"), operated by Matt Russell and described as veteran-owned and locally led. PuroClean positions itself as the "paramedics of property damage": 24/7 emergency response for water, fire and mold losses with direct insurance coordination. A solid franchise option with a named local owner — the combination worth looking for when you want national systems with local accountability.

SERVPRO of Downtown Charleston
Best for the peninsula & downtown
24/7
The SERVPRO franchise based on King Street, covering the historic peninsula where tidal flooding and century-old construction make water losses unusually delicate. SERVPRO is the biggest name in the trade — 24/7 emergency service, national storm-team backup after hurricanes, and standardized drying documentation that adjusters know. Worth the call for downtown addresses especially, and for storm events where franchise scale matters.

SERVPRO of Greater Northern Charleston
Best for North Charleston & Dorchester County
24/7
The second SERVPRO team in the metro, oriented to North Charleston and the Dorchester County corridor — Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, Moncks Corner. Same 24/7 franchise infrastructure as the downtown team: water extraction, structural drying, mold remediation and storm response, with insurance-claim process support. If you're north of the peninsula, this is the closer SERVPRO and likely the faster dispatch.

Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Greater Charleston
Best for mitigation plus rebuild in one contract
24/7
The local Paul Davis franchise (office on Jessen Lane, Charleston) does something most mitigation-only firms don't: it runs the whole job — emergency dry-out through reconstruction and remodeling — under one roof. They advertise 24/7 availability with a 30-minute response window, IICRC-certified water restoration specialists, and dedicated insurance-claims support. If your loss will need real rebuild work — drywall, flooring, cabinetry — one accountable contractor for both phases is a genuine advantage.

ServiceMaster of Charleston
Best established franchise for floors & carpets
24/7
The Charleston branch of ServiceMaster Restore, one of the oldest names in the restoration business. Their published Charleston services emphasize what water does to floors: on-site carpet and wood-floor drying with honest replace-vs-restore assessments, alongside standard 24/7 water damage mitigation for burst pipes, leaks and severe weather. A reasonable pick when saving flooring — rather than ripping it out — is the priority.

Patriot Restoration
Best owner-operated local
24/7
A locally owned Charleston restoration company led by an owner with over a decade in the trade, running 24-hour emergency service across the metro. The service list is broad for a small firm — water extraction and dehumidification, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleanup, biohazard, storm response, plus air-duct cleaning and deodorization. The case for a company this size: you deal with the people doing the work, and the owner's name is on every job.
