Polygraph Testing for Mount Pleasant Residents
A lie detector test for Mount Pleasant, South Carolina residents costs $1,500 for a single person examination at our Charleston location, just 4.3 miles away.

With more than 81,000 residents, Mount Pleasant is one of South Carolina's largest municipalities — a fast-growing Charleston County town facing the historic city across the Cooper River. Despite its size, we deliberately serve Mount Pleasant from a single fixed facility rather than a satellite office: our Charleston location at 170 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401, which lies 4.3 miles away, around a 7 minute drive over the Ravenel Bridge into the peninsula.
That concentration is a quality decision, not a cost one. Polygraph testing demands identical, repeatable conditions for every client — a soundproofed private room, calibrated computerised instrumentation and an examiner working without distraction. One properly equipped Charleston office serves the entire metro to a higher standard than scattered part-time venues could, and for Mount Pleasant clients the bridge crossing adds only minutes.
Your appointment covers the full professional process. The examiner — trained to APA standards and experienced in relationship, employment, theft and family-dispute cases — reviews your situation in a pre-test interview, agrees the exact questions with you, then conducts the examination using validated techniques. Nothing is sprung on you during the test. Afterwards the charts are scored and you receive a same-day written report documenting the questions asked and the outcome. Single examinations are $1,500, couples testing (two separate examinations addressing the same issue) is $2,800, and group bookings run at $1,300 per person.

Preparing for Your Visit
Travelling to your polygraph appointment? These tips will help you arrive prepared and get the most accurate results.
Plan Your Journey
Your appointment at our Charleston office is approximately ~7 min from Mount Pleasant. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early — rushing to your appointment can elevate your heart rate and affect your physiological baseline, which could impact accuracy. Plan for traffic and allow a small buffer.
The Night Before
Get a full night’s rest. Fatigue affects physiological responses and can interfere with the accuracy of your polygraph results. Avoid alcohol the evening before, and try to maintain your normal routine as much as possible.
What to Bring
Bring any relevant documents — case notes, a list of questions you want covered, or reference materials. If someone is accompanying you, they’re welcome to wait in reception while the examination takes place in a separate private room.
On the Day
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and nicotine elevate heart rate and can affect sensor readings
- Eat a light meal — don’t arrive on an empty stomach as sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours
- Wear comfortable clothing — sensors are placed around the upper body, so avoid tight or restrictive layers
- Bring valid photo ID — your examiner will verify your identity before the examination begins

Why Our Results Are Trusted
The science behind our polygraph examinations at Charleston.
Accuracy Rate
When administered by a qualified, APA-qualified examiner using validated protocols, polygraph testing achieves 90–95% accuracy in specific-issue testing, supported by decades of peer-reviewed research.
Question Repetition
Every relevant question is repeated a minimum of three times during your examination. This multi-pass approach eliminates anomalies and ensures the physiological data is consistent and reliable.
Channels Monitored
Our digital instruments simultaneously monitor heart rate, blood pressure, respiration (thoracic and abdominal), and electrodermal activity — providing a comprehensive physiological profile throughout the examination.
Validated Technology
The polygraph is the only scientifically validated technology for truth verification. We reject unvalidated alternatives including voice stress analysers, mobile apps, and eye-tracking tools.
