Too Big? Too Heavy? We've Got Strong Men to Help!

If you have ever moved to a new house, apartment, or office by yourself, you know how much of a pain it can be. The moving process can be filled with many different emotions. On the one hand, you're probably excited about the new adventure that lies ahead of you. On the other hand, you're probably dreading the heavy lifting, pulling, packing, organizing, and logistical aspects of moving.

At Strong Men Moving, our goal is to remove that dread so you can focus on the fun and productive times ahead. With a team of hardworking, experienced moving professionals on your side, moving to a new home or office is easy, like Sunday morning.

The best part? As local, trusted movers in Daniel Island, you won't have to take a loan out from the bank to pay for our moving services. We believe in hard work, friendly attitudes, efficiency, and fair pricing.

DI sewer main collapses second time in just over a month

Daniel Island has a foul smell still lingering above the surface of one of its main streets, but the problem stems from below. Seven Farms Drive has suffered a second sewer main collapse in just over a month and the two incidents are connected.On July 28, Charleston Water System responded to a sewer main line break that created a sinkhole near Guggenheim Terrace. The hole was 20-feet wide and 10-feet deep. The cause of the collapse was classified as a pipe failure due to corrosion from sewer gasses and direct contact with sewage mater...

On July 28, Charleston Water System responded to a sewer main line break that created a sinkhole near Guggenheim Terrace. The hole was 20-feet wide and 10-feet deep. The cause of the collapse was classified as a pipe failure due to corrosion from sewer gasses and direct contact with sewage material.

CPW discovered and removed 20 feet of collapsed 24-inch ductile iron sewer main and installed a cured-in-place 150-foot long structural liner expected to extend the life of the sewer mainline segment by 50 years.

On Sept. 1, the same sewer main on Seven Farms Drive across the LTP Tennis Center collapsed for the same reason - deterioration due to hydrogen sulfide gas, according to Public Information Administrator Mike Saia.

Saia estimated that approximately 100 feet of pipe is deteriorating and could collapse. He compared the pipe’s state of deterioration to “as brittle as aluminum foil.”

One attributing cause of the collapse was that the lines, which were installed more than 30 years ago, lacked a protective cement lining common in today’s usage. Another detriment has been the recent heavy rainfall with increased groundwater levels.

In the first few hours, CPW established a temporary bypass pump and improved that bypass system later that day to carry the wastewater to a solid section of pipe.

“Thankfully, we never had a sewer overflow or any loss of sewage,” Saia said.

Portions of adjacent pipe were found in good condition within about 75 feet on both sides of the current hole. Saia said that CPW is planning to install a new pipe this week to effect the repair once the materials are available.

As soon as weather permits, CPW will reroute the flow and send a robot through the pipe to determine how much pipe needs to be replaced. The investigation can’t be done during wet weather due to increased sewer flows.

The repair is expected to take up to two weeks or longer to get the brick pavers installed. There is a plan in place to remove the flows from this pipe in the future, but there is no estimated timetable for this to happen.

“We’d really like to ask residents to please stay away from the area and any construction that may arise in the next two weeks,” Saia added.

CPW doesn’t anticipate any rerouting of traffic or road closure on Seven Farms Drive to execute the repair. There have been no service outages reported by customers at this time.

Reading Partners South Carolina is launching its 10-year anniversary celebration at the RiverDogs!

Reading Partners SC, an educational nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that all elementary school students have the foundational literacy skills necessary to be successful in school and beyond, is pleased to announce the kick off of their year-long 10th anniversary celebration beginning August 31 as the featured nonprofit at the Charleston RiverDogs game. Former RiverDog, motivational speaker, author and Reading Partners board member, Chris Singleton, will be speaking on behalf of the organization.

Reading Partners has served 5,368 students with the help of 11,165 community volunteers over the last ten years. The numbers are impressive, but the real success story has been the student academic gains and social/emotional maturity that have developed as a result of having a consistent, caring volunteer tutor sharing just an hour a week to make sure that all students in our community have the best odds for success in school and in life. Last year, 89% of kindergarten through second grade students met or exceeded their primary end of year growth goal.

Why: There is a literacy crisis in this country and right here in South Carolina, where only 20% of students experiencing economic challenges are reading proficiently by the end of 4th grade. If students are not reading proficiently by the end of third grade, they are four times more likely to drop out of school. Reading Partners aims to change those odds and needs community support now more than ever since it is estimated that students have lost an additional seven months to a year’s worth of learning during the pandemic. For more information on becoming a tutor during the 2022-23 school year, please visit www.readingpartners.org. No teaching experience is required. Orientation, onsite support and a structured, easy-to-follow curriculum is provided.

When: Wednesday, August 31 at 7:00pm.

Where: Joseph Riley Park, 360 Fishburne St, Charleston, SC 29403.

About Reading Partners

Reading Partners’ mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering communities to provide individualized instruction with measurable results. Each year, hundreds of local volunteer tutors across Charleston and Berkeley Counties support students on their paths toward becoming strong, confident readers.
