Cayce sits south of the point where the Saluda and Broad rivers meet to form the Congaree, and it is the lower lying of the Lexington County cities along that stretch. That geography puts it near the front of the queue whenever the river comes up.
The Congaree crested at 31.8 feet during the October 2015 flood. It came close enough again when Hurricane Helene moved through in 2024 that the city urged residents in low lying areas to evacuate. Exposure here is recurring rather than a once in a lifetime event.
River water is contaminated water. A Cayce property that takes water from the Congaree needs a different response than one with a burst supply line: contamination handling, more porous material removed rather than dried, and thorough sanitizing. It also usually falls under flood insurance rather than a standard homeowner policy, which is worth confirming before you need it.
