Cleaning Up Winnabow Water Damage & Fire Damage

Winnabow is most known for being a farming community, so much so that there are no widely documented accounts of the current population. Ocean Highway, or US Highway 17, cuts up through the area connecting larger communities and their respective restaurants, retail locations, and services. What is within this small village is modest at best, with the primary retailer being Han Dee Hugo’s convenience store, preventing a longer commute to a grocery store. 

This small portion of Brunswick County is home to many prominent farmlands and family steads, such as Willets Farm. Several businesses are serving the region along this stretch of Ocean Highway, including one of the leading offices for the nationally recognized contracting firm Schumacher Homes whose properties are increasingly popular through the Carolinas and many other states. Highway 17 will also lead you to the local post office serving this widespread area.

Can You Stay in Your Home After a Fire?

Winnabow has only a small number of homes and even fewer businesses, with the most prominent being churches like Wayside Church or St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church and schools like Town Creek Elementary and Middle Schools. Continuing operation after fire damage depends on how quickly containment can be set up after representatives of the Winnabow Fire Station clear property for entry.
