About Dante Danieli:


My name is Dante Danieli and I started my career in remediation as an air duct cleaning technician in Colorado. This was before my wife and I came to South Carolina where I branched my interest off from working as an airduct cleaning technician to a water technician. After 5+ years I have moved up in the ranks from water technician to operations manager for Kingsley’s water damage and fire clean up. When I’m not at work I’m a family man, I love spending time with my beautiful wife and all my children. I enjoy family time, weekend BBQs, and a good NFL game.

Customers love working with Dante Danieli

We highly recommend working with Kingsley Water Damage and Fire Cleanup. We had flooding water damage that was continuing to get worse even after the water was turned off. The damage was upstairs and causing the flooring/downstairs ceiling beneath to fall through increasingly as time passed and the water soaked through more. Not initially realizing Kingsley served the Florence area, we called two local Florence companies who list local phone numbers. However, after waiting hours for callbacks that never materialized, we realized through further communication that their phone numbers only connected us to corporate offices. The answering service workers at those offices simply put in email notices to the local branches that probably wouldn't even be seen by their local workers until Monday. Our damage happened on a Friday night. We were falsely given the impression by those two other companies, which claim they're available 24/7, that they would call us back soon and help us begin the remediation process. Waiting for them until Monday would have meant much more damage and mold spreading throughout our house. Working with Kingsley was a completely different and wonderful experience. We received a callback within just a few minutes after sending them a message about our ordeal. Angel then immediately set out driving from Columbia and arrived to start our remediation process within two just hours. He and Teddy worked diligently and efficiently to get our problem under control and stop further damage from happening. The pack-out team also did a wonderful job. They took great care when taking out items in the affected rooms and securing them in a storage unit for safe keeping until repairs are complete. They worked so quickly, efficiently, and quietly that we hardly could tell they were even here. Dante and Erick from the Florence office did outstanding work as well. They consistently checked in to make sure all needed remediation work was completed as needed, and it was finished in a very timely, professional manner. Dante also helped us make sure there was no mold with which to contend after the flooding. If you're looking for a company that provides excellent, timely service for water damage and/or fire cleanup needs, don't waste your time calling other companies, and call Kingsley. It's truly no wonder they have over three hundred five-star reviews!

This company offers SUPERIOR SERVICE! I had a water pipe burst behind my shower wall and from the very moment that I called they were all about helping me solve my problem. I happened to call just moments before closing and didn't get an answer but, unexpectedly, within 5 minutes of my call the lovely Kendria called me back. Shock was all I felt but from that moment on everyone I came into contact with did everything to help me. From Mrs. Jeanne and Mrs. Kendria answer my numerous phone calls and emails always setting my mind at ease. Mr. Dante and Mr. Angel inspecting everything and helping me find and resolve issues that they weren't obligated to do,like find a plumber after I had called 5 prior to calling them. This most certainly helped speed up my restoration process. Also my super heros Mr. Joseph aka (Jojo) and Mr. Teddy taking care of the demolition and cleanup while tredding those dangerously soft spots on the floors and bravely going into that dark and wet crawlspace. I can't tell you how grateful I am that they were helping me. Mr. Joseph and Mr. Teddy even went so far as to come back after my circuit breaker tripped after hours on a Friday when they had just left 15 minutes prior. Everyone made this catastrophe at my home feel like just a common simple fix. While having such great professionals like this, problems like this can't be anything other than simple. They all are MVP's in my book. Thank you all for everything! 🙏🏽 ❤️ I appreciate you Kendria, Jeanne, Donte, Angel, Jo jo and Teddy! You all are wonderful!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kingsley Water Damage Restoration for mold remediation in my home, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team displayed exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Dante and Angel A arrived promptly and conducted a thorough inspection, identifying all areas affected by mold. They explained the remediation process in detail, which was way beyond what imagined would be needed. Dante truly displayed his mold remediation prowess by efficiently, and with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every trace of mold was removed. Additionally, their commitment to air quality and safety was above reproach. They used state-of-the-art equipment and environmentally friendly products, ensuring the health and well-being of my family. The team also took great care to contain the affected areas, preventing any cross-contamination. It was evident that I was dealing with a great small business team and not just another number. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. I was kept informed of progress and any necessary adjustments were made with my consent. The team was courteous, respectful of my property, and left my home spotless once the job was completed. Kingsley Water Damage Restoration went above and beyond my expectations, delivering outstanding results. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. If you are in need of mold remediation services, I wholeheartedly recommend Kingsley Water Damage Restoration. They are hands down the best! -Steve

Maybe a week before Christmas, my husband and I had a city sewer line back up into our house. Hundreds of gallons of raw sewage flooded my bathroom and crawlspace - it would have been even worse if nobody had been home to notice it, dam it in with towels, and carry it out in buckets. This is our first house and we had only moved in two weeks prior! Absolute nightmare. Kingsley Restoration was the first name to pop up when I searched for mitigation companies in the area and I am so happy that it was! They were out there maybe an hour after I called - they thoroughly cleaned and disinfected a VERY foul mess, took away what contaminated materials could be immediately removed, and set up machinery to keep everything dry and stabilized while we were away for Christmas. Since it was raw sewage, the floors, walls, and even the vapor barrier under the house had to come out and everything underneath/behind them disinfected. They removed everything but the walls; the office took care of contracting an asbestos abatement company for those. Now everything is done and ready to be replaced. At the time it felt like the end of the world, but they really did amazing work and even though everything still need repairing, it finally feels like things are on their way back to normal. As much as their experience and work is to be praised, I also want to mention the compassion and empathy I received. Everyone, from the men who came and worked on the house (Dante, Yaniel, Angel, Tyler, and Teddy) to the ladies in the office (Kendria and Jean), were all very supportive and understanding. They answered all of my (many) questions as well as they could, and I really felt *heard*. It meant a lot and really helped me stay sane. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I appreciate everything and can't thank them all enough!

This company is *amazing*. They were the 3rd company we spoke with regarding concerns about potential mold and requesting testing. The 1st two told us they'd call back. One we still haven't heard from, the other a day or so after expected. When your health could be at stake, you don't wait around for a phone call past the expectation, so I did some due diligence once again and called Kingsley, who was responsive in a timely manner. At every step, this company delivered and even went above and beyond. Dante came to assess, completed an inspection, and thankfully did not find mold inside the home (the area of concern was exterior but with concerns it could have moved inside). He was an excellent communicator, personable, and professional. He told us we could run testing on the air filters, but the ducts needed a good cleaning anyway so we just proceeded with the cleaning. Angel & Tyler came to clean the ducts. They, too, were wonderful. We spoke when they arrived about how the process works, and they also were personable, polite, and professional. Beforehand, I called into the office to find out what the process was so that pet arrangements could be made. Jean in the office told me her thoughts but then called back to confirm what she had told me. She double checked to be sure. She called towards the end of the cleaning and asked how the job was going and to make payment arrangements. *Top notch* customer service from this company at *every single step* and always answering any questions we had. I've already referred them to someone else needing duct cleaning and will continue to do so!

Irmo, SC

October 28, 2025

Kingsley water damage & Fire cleanup provided emergency water cleanup in Irmo, SC after standing water or a sudden leak affected the home. Day-one work removes liquid water, protects dry rooms, and builds a wet map so demolition stays limited. Families keep using dry parts of the house while the wet footprint stays isolated.

Mitigation steps stay in homeowner language: contain the mess, open only what inspection supports, remove what will not dry, and clean or treat what can remain. HEPA filtration supports air cleaning when dust or microbial particles are a concern. Daily updates name the rooms still wet and why machines are still on site—no unexplained jargon wall. If children or pets use the home, we talk through temporary barriers and which doors should stay closed while airflow is balanced.

Drying follows a practical IICRC-oriented order: extract, move air, dehumidify, and monitor until readings support releasing equipment. Typical occupied homes in the Midlands finish structural drying inside a 3–7 day window. Cool crawls, wall cavities, and humid stretches can need the later days; we say so before extending. We will not pack up on day two if meters still show wet materials. Mid-job visits adjust vent counts and dehumidifier settings when outdoor humidity or construction details stall progress.

Contents handling is deliberate. Wet textiles move to a drying path or pack-out decision; furniture feet get blocks on wet carpet; important documents and medications leave the wet zone in a labeled bin you keep. Electronics on wet flooring are unplugged and elevated—we do not power-test them in standing moisture. These steps sound small and prevent a second wave of damage while structural drying continues.

Close-out is a plain walkthrough of what dried, what was removed, and what rebuild steps remain. Keep HVAC from blowing moist air into dry rooms while machines run. If anything rewets, call early so the drying window is not lost. A short written summary of rooms and equipment helps you update insurance without replaying every visit from memory.

Equipment placement tries to leave bedrooms and kitchens usable when the wet map allows. Cord runs and condensate drains are planned so tanks do not overflow while you are at work. If HOA gates, narrow drives, or shared crawls affect staging in Irmo, share that on the first call so the truck arrives ready. Neighbor notices matter on duplex and townhome hatches.

Kingsley water damage & Fire cleanup uses 3031 Scotsman Rd Suite 16, Columbia, SC 29223 for Midlands paperwork and 803-590-0370 for live dispatch. You choose the contractor; preferred lists are optional. We document for carriers when you authorize it and direct-bill when the policy allows. Where detailed photo logs for this older job are thin, this page describes the standard mitigation approach for this loss type in Irmo without inventing claim numbers, meter digits, or crew names.

If rebuild trades follow mitigation, we leave surfaces accessible and share moisture notes so flooring or drywall work does not trap leftover dampness. That handoff is part of finishing strong in the Midlands humidity cycle.

Lexington, SC

July 21, 2025

Kingsley water damage & Fire cleanup supported fire and smoke cleanup in Lexington, SC where heat and residues affected finished rooms and, in many Midlands losses, suppression water soaked flooring below. We confirm safe entry, photograph soot patterns on walls, ceilings, and contents, and separate dry living space from the work zone before wet-wiping anything. That photo-backed look decides what cleans in place, what packs out, and where structural drying must run in parallel so cleaned surfaces are not sitting on wet substrate.

Mitigation steps stay in homeowner language: contain the mess, open only what inspection supports, remove what will not dry, and clean or treat what can remain. HEPA filtration supports air cleaning when dust or microbial particles are a concern. Daily updates name the rooms still wet and why machines are still on site—no unexplained jargon wall.

Electronics on wet flooring are unplugged and elevated—we do not power-test them in standing moisture. These steps sound small and prevent a second wave of damage while structural drying continues.

Close-out walks cleaned surfaces, sets residual odor expectations, and separates mitigation from longer rebuild decisions. Contents stay or go based on residue depth—not a blanket discard. If suppression water soaked floors, drying continues so soot cleaning is not wasted on wet substrate. You leave knowing which trades may still need to rebuild after mitigation.

Equipment placement tries to leave bedrooms and kitchens usable when the wet map allows. Cord runs and condensate drains are planned so tanks do not overflow while you are at work.

First steps are to assess damage and secure property once it's been cleared by the fire marshall to safely re-enter the structure. Goal is to address the visible and hidden damages caused by the house fire. That starts with any water removal and drying used to extinguish the fire and prevent mold. Followed by debris and demolition for cleaning and repairs and finished off by smoke/soot removal with a final clean and sanitization. Safety checks and tests are taken every step of the way, critical to returning the home to a safe harm-free living space for families and their pets.

West Columbia, SC

February 7, 2025

Kingsley water damage & Fire cleanup handled mold-related work in West Columbia, SC after moisture left growth or air concerns on real building materials. Inspection comes first: attic sheathing, crawl framing, cabinet interiors, or wall cavities get a documented look so scope matches what is present. Containment goes up when demolition dust or spores could travel into clean rooms. West Columbia homeowners get a plain explanation of what stays, what goes, and why—not a mystery checklist.

Close-out shows what was cleaned or removed and flags any roof, plumbing, or humidity source that still needs another trade. We do not invent square footage. For West Columbia homes, fixing the water path first is the takeaway—otherwise growth conversations restart after the next humid week.
