Permits, power and roofs in Pickens County

Pickens County Building Codes covers the unincorporated areas, while Easley has its own building department and Clemson generally permits work inside its limits. Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Pickens, serves much of the countryside, Duke Energy Carolinas covers other parts, and Easley Combined Utilities sells power inside much of Easley. On the standing-seam metal roofs common in the north end, clamps grip the seams instead of lag bolts going through shingles, and the reinstall has to follow the same method. Sassafras Mountain logged a Helene gust of about 72 mph, and the April 2020 tornado that began near Westminster ended near Central. Oak leaves, pollen and pine needles collect under arrays in the wooded hills and keep the roof damp.

Along the Keowee shoreline near Six Mile, tall houses with glass walls facing the lake carry arrays that are hard to get at and exposed to wind across the water. Around Dacusville and up toward Table Rock, systems on metal roofs need seam-clamp work, and some took limbs during Helene. In Liberty and Central, older frame houses show leaks at mounts years after the install.
