Berkeley County, bordered by North Charleston to the west and south and by Goose Creek to the east and north. Predominantly mid-century and later suburban housing on a mix of slab and crawl space foundations, in a city that was only incorporated in 1973 — so most of what is standing here went up in the post-war decades rather than before the war.
Permits for Hanahan go through City of Hanahan (Berkeley County).
Hanahan sits at an elevation of about 16 feet, and roughly 1.03 of its 11.55 square miles — close to a tenth of the city — is water. The Goose Creek Reservoir is in the middle of it. That is the single most useful thing to know before anyone goes under a house here: the water table is high, and it is what decides whether a crawl space stays dry.
Hanahan was incorporated as a city in 1973, and the housing reflects the post-war suburban decades on either side of that date. It is the window in which polybutylene supply lines and aluminium branch wiring were both still being installed, and in which a vented crawl space was simply how houses were built.
For heating and air it decides where the ductwork can run. Ducts in a damp crawl space at this elevation sweat, and what they lose they lose before it reaches a room.
