Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

David has a beautiful home on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. However, the cost of his insurance was higher than average because his home is located in a flood zone. Desperate for relief, David asked his insurance agent if there was anything he could do to lower his cost. The insurance agent suggested SmartVent, the certified flood vents to lower his flood insurance. 

Lowcountry Foundation Repair is a proud supplier of SmartVent flood vents so David reached out to them for a free estimate. The inspector arrived on-site and provided David with his custom quote. 

Now David can enjoy peace of mind knowing that his foundation is protected from floodwaters by these Nationally Certified and Engineered - FEMA Compliant & ICC-ES Certified flood vents, and he is enjoying the savings on his flood insurance. 

This homeowner in Hilton Head Island, SC had moisture issues in their crawlspace. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection and customized quote to fix the issue. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to eliminate the water issue. The homeowner decided to move forward with that recommendation and was very satisfied with the results.

If your home has an inefficient sump pump, then it cannot effectively protect against basement flooding, water seepage, and water damage. The waterproofing professionals at Lowcountry Foundation Repair, offer the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, a battery-powered pump that promises security even during power outages. This three-pump system also automatically adjusts to meet pumping needs. By also repairing floor cracks, by backfilling them with stone and covering it with fresh concrete, we can further protect your below-grade space from water damage. Cracked concrete basement floor slabs are porous, meaning water can seep through, exacerbating the crack and leading to further structural damage.

Many homeowners think that because their home was built on a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. The experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair know differently and have seen the signs and solutions to crawlspace moisture problems. Humidity and standing water in the crawlspace will eventually evaporate into the air and create a moist air environment, causing the floor joists to begin rotting, grow mold, and sink over time into the soft soil. One of the most common indications of a moisture problem in the crawlspace is falling insulation because once moisture soaks the insulation, it falls or holds water against the wood. By adding a CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System, the crawl space can be sealed off from environmental moisture & humidity, keeping the crawlspace dry. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!

This home had puddles of water throughout the crawlspace. One of our inspectors did a thorough inspection of the home, providing customized quotes for options to solve the water issue. A part of that solution was installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, making the crawlspace dry all the time.
