Public Adjusters in Charleston, SC

Charleston is one of the most historically and architecturally significant cities on the Atlantic Coast — and one of the most hurricane-vulnerable. The city sits on a low-lying peninsula at the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, with ocean exposure to the east and extensive tidal marshes surrounding the developed core. This geography makes Charleston acutely susceptible to storm surge, and even Category 1 or 2 storms can push significant surge water into the historic downtown. Hurricane Hugo's (1989) direct strike north of the city created a surge that flooded much of the historic district and caused massive damage to the surrounding Sea Islands. More recently, Hurricane Dorian (2019) and Hurricane Ian (2022) caused flooding and wind damage across the metro, and the Lowcountry's already-significant tidal flooding problem has intensified with rising sea levels.
