This homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to have SmartVents installed for the insurance benefit, as the home was located in a lower elevation flood zone. Upon inspection of the crawlspace, there was also a moisture issue that would slowly rot the wood foundation if left untreated. The homeowner was pleased with the solution provided of an encapsulation of the crawlspace, sealing out the harmful moisture from the space.
This home in Mt. Pleasant, SC had a moisture issue in the crawlspace, and the homeowner had noticed signs of the floors beginning to buckle. They called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection and quote to fix the problem. The inspector recommended an encapsulationand the homeowner moved foward with that option. The encapsulation turned the crawlspace into a clean, moisture controlled space.
A home inspector mentioned to the owner of this home that they had extreme humidity levels in the crawl space. There was an existing dehumidifier and plastic barrier in the crawl space, but the barrier was not sealed and the dehumidifier was constantly running, too weak to effectively dehumidify the space. Our team installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System in the crawl space, sealing out groundwater seepage and effectively monitoring & controlling the humidity level.
After a home inspection, the inspector told the owner of this home that there were piers missing or needed under the kitchen area of the home, and recommended that they call us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to fix the issue. Our team set the homeowner up with a free inspection, designed a customized solution to fix the problem, and provided support to all the areas of need. Using the SmartJack Support System, the floors of the home were supported and stabilized.
This homeowner was told by a home inspector that they had very high humidity in the crawl space. Even though there was an existing dehumidifier in the space, it was poor quality, ineffective in reducing the moisture level, and wasting power. Our team was able to completely solve the issue by installing an encapsulation to seal off moisture and replacing the dehumidifier with our highly effective, energy-efficient dehumidifier, the SaniDry Sedona. The floor in one area was also in need of additional support, so our team also installed SmartJacks to support that area.
