On the tidal coast of Kiawah Island, SC, many homes face real storm-surge exposure. Seasonal vacancies or rental periods can mean a septic backup goes unseen, allowing black water to spread and damage flooring, drywall, and personal property before it is discovered.

Heavy seasonal use followed by vacancy, combined with storm-related saturation from the humid subtropical climate, increases the risk of backups in these coastal properties.
