CHARLOTTE, NC - South Charlotte Services, a builder-led AV and carpentry firm, announces an expanded structural TV-mounting Charlotte NC program designed to protect Charlotte homeowners from wall damage, insurance headaches, and safety risks linked to do-it-yourself installations. Led by owner John Clay—who brings 30 years of residential construction management—the team provides code-certified mounting, concealed wiring, and lifetime workmanship guarantees.

The True Scope of Tip-Over & Mount-Failure Incidents

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates 17,800 emergency-room visits each year from furniture or television tip-overs. Televisions are involved in roughly 15 percent of those injuries, and 155 fatalities were recorded in the most recent ten-year period—averaging one child fatality every 3.5 weeks. While many tip-over cases involve freestanding TVs, Clay warns that wall mounts—if anchored improperly—can shear studs, pierce wiring, and leave homeowners liable for damage that standard warranties do not cover.

Failure Scenario & Typical Repair Range:

• Drywall patch & repaint — $295–$924
• Stud replacement (one bay) — $500–$1,500
• In-wall wiring repair — $150–$400
• OLED/LED replacement (55″–85″) — $1,500–$3,500
• Insurance deductible & premium hike — $1,000–$5,000

"We see blown-out fireplace chases, fractured plaster in pre-war homes, even punctured flex conduit. The fix is always costlier than a professional mount." — John Clay

Builder-Engineered vs. "Big-Box" Mounting: A Six-Step Process

1. Structural Scan & Load Assessment - Laser measures confirm stud spacing, header status, and masonry integrity.
2. Anchor Engineering - Commercial toggles or ⅜-in. lag bolts rated 3× TV weight; brick and steel-stud kits available.
3. Precision Alignment - TV centerline established to 1/16-in. tolerance; fireplace heat tested to ≤100 °F.
4. Code-Compliant Wire Concealment - NEC-approved in-wall kits, recessed boxes, and surge-protected outlets.
5. Stress Test & Client Sign-Off - Mount loaded to 200 percent of set weight; client operates tilt/swivel functions.
6. Lifetime Certificate - PDF and hard-copy guarantee for insurance, resale, and peace of mind.

Average professional install: $254 (standard) to $600 (brick/fireplace with conduit) DIY redo after failure: $1,200–$4,500 once studs, finish work, and premiums are tallied.

Local Case Study: Myers Park Restoration. A 1928 Colonial Revival home suffered a midnight mount failure that cracked original plaster and severed a low-voltage line.

South Charlotte Services:

• Stabilized lath-and-plaster with epoxy anchors
• Sistered a 2 × 4 header, restoring 300 lb structural capacity
• Installed a full-motion bracket and routed HDMI/power through a UL-rated in-wall kit

Total professional cost: $785

Estimated DIY loss avoided: $2,800 in plaster work plus a $1,000 deductible. 

"They matched 100-year-old plaster texture—no patch lines at all. The new mount feels bulletproof." — Dr. Laura P., Myers Park homeowner
