What Makes Anderson, South Carolina Different

Anderson sits in the Upstate foothills just east of Lake Hartwell. Heavy summer storms can drop a lot of rain in a short time, and hard red clay sheds water fast, so it runs toward foundations and into crawlspaces. A wet crawlspace can grow mold under the floor long before anyone smells it.

Winter ice storms bring down trees and power lines, and long outages stop heat, sump pumps and dehumidifiers all at once. Pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls can freeze and split in a hard cold snap, and the leak often shows up only when things warm up. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Anderson grew up around textile mills, and many mill village homes and older houses in town were built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and old plaster, pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos, so test before you tear anything out. Summers are hot and humid, so wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
