Disaster Recovery Storage in South Carolina
When a home or business is damaged by a flood, hurricane, fire, burst pipe, or major water leak, belongings often need to be moved out before cleanup and repairs can begin. STOMO provides emergency storage and disaster recovery storage in South Carolina with portable containers delivered directly to your property.
If you’re working through an insurance claim, keeping your belongings organized in one place can make the packout easier to manage as you document what has been removed from the property. If you need help moving heavier items, MOVEMO can also provide moving services.
STOMO prioritizes disaster recovery requests and works to arrange delivery as quickly as possible based on availability and your location. Once the container arrives, you can load your belongings at ground level and keep them stored while cleanup and repairs take place.
Water and Flood Damage Storage
A burst pipe, broken water heater, roof leak, or flood can affect several rooms at once, even ones that were not directly hit. Furniture, rugs, appliances, and other belongings may need to come out before the property can be properly dried and repaired. Leaving them in another room can also take up space needed for cleanup.
Water and moisture can spread beyond the area where a leak started. Floors, walls, and other parts of the home may need attention, which can mean more rooms need to be cleared. A portable storage container gives you a place to keep those belongings while the work takes place, without filling up a garage or another part of the home.
Hurricane and Storm Damage Storage
South Carolina homes and businesses can face strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding during severe storms. Damage to a roof or other parts of a property may leave rooms unusable while repairs are being scheduled. Portable storage can also be useful before a major storm. Some customers choose to move important belongings out of vulnerable areas ahead of severe weather rather than waiting until damage occurs.
A portable storage container gives you space to clear furniture and other belongings from damaged areas while work is underway. If you need to leave your home temporarily, you can also use the container to keep your belongings together while the property is being repaired.
Fire and Smoke Damage Storage
Even rooms not directly touched by fire may need to be cleared during cleanup. Smoke, soot, and water used to put out the fire can affect areas beyond where the flames were located.
A container gives you a place to keep belongings while the property is cleaned and repaired. You can sort through furniture, clothing, household items, and other possessions as the cleanup moves forward and keep the items you plan to save in one place. Having a separate storage area can also give cleanup crews more room to work inside the property.
Storage for Businesses After Property Damage
Property damage does not only affect homes. A flooded storefront, fire, or storm-damaged office can leave a business needing to move inventory, equipment, files, or furniture before repairs can begin.
A portable container gives business owners and facilities managers another place to keep these items while work is being done. This can be helpful when part of a business can remain open during repairs and equipment or other belongings need to be moved out of the affected area.
Keeping items close to the property can also make it easier to access equipment, supplies, or other belongings when they are needed during the repair process.
Choosing the Right Container Size
STOMO offers two container sizes for disaster recovery storage. The 8×16 container works well for a single room, an apartment, or a smaller amount of belongings that need to be moved out of a damaged area. The 8×20 container provides more space when several rooms, a larger home, or a business space needs to be cleared.
If you’re not sure how much space you’ll need, tell our team what you are dealing with. We can help you compare the available options instead of leaving you to estimate everything on your own during a stressful situation.

How Disaster Recovery Storage Works
1. Tell Us What Happened
Contact STOMO with your situation, what needs to be moved, and roughly how much storage space you need. Let us know where the container needs to be delivered and how soon you need storage.
2. We Deliver the Container
STOMO delivers the portable storage container directly to your property. Ground-level loading makes it easier to move furniture, boxes, and other belongings into the container without using a loading dock.
3. Load Your Belongings
You can load the container yourself or bring in MOVEMO if you need help with the physical work of clearing the property. Take the time you need to move the belongings that need to be stored.
4. Keep Your Items Stored
Your belongings can remain in the container while cleanup, repairs, and rebuilding take place. You do not have to keep moving them between temporary locations while you wait for the work to finish.
5. Finish the Recovery Work
When you no longer need the container, contact STOMO to arrange the next step. Your storage needs may change as the repair work progresses, so we can discuss the options available for your situation.
