Hurricane Damage Restoration | National Response Team
Of all documented weather disasters in U.S. history, hurricanes have caused the most deaths and destruction. The year 2020 set a new record for hurricane damage, with 22 hurricanes causing damages of at least $1 billion each. Because of its coastal location, South Carolina properties are particularly susceptible to the need for hurricane damage restoration services.
That is why Kingsley Water Damage Restoration provides top-notch hurricane damage restoration services for homeowners and business owners in Lexington, Columbia, Camden, Arcadia Lakes, West Columbia, and other cities within our service area.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines as well as damage to homes and businesses located several hundred miles inland. These storms carry wind speeds exceeding 155 miles per hour and may spawn destructive tornadoes and microbursts that produce heavy rains & cause flash floods that trigger extreme water damage. Flying debris from extreme winds can also be lethal and cause property destruction.

Hurricane Risks to South Carolina Homes & Offices
If you live in South Carolina, you should understand the risk of hurricanes. They not only threaten the coast but ALL areas of our state because hurricane damage can extend several hundred miles inland when the winds are strong enough. But how likely are you to be hit by one? Let's look at an eye-opening statistic:
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has been tracking tropical systems since 1851 and their findings show that that South Carolina has had a 79.7% chance of being impacted by a tropical system every year even if the system does not track directly through the state. The agency studied the state's history of hurricanes over 169 years, from 1851 to 2020.
