Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a sump pump in the garage to keep the space dry when water would come in during times of heavy rain. It was a sump pump not designed well enough to function after long-term use and maintenance. The water was starting to overflow from the sump, causing a serious water issue. They called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to fix the issue. Our team installed "The King" of sump pumps, called the TripleSafe sump pump, and installed a perimeter drainage system that would lead all of the water entering the garage into the sump pump, finally keeping the space dry as it should be.

This home in Hilton Head Island, SC had severe humidity in the crawlspace contributing to an issue with the floor. The subfloor had been newly installed and insulated with spray foam a year ago. Within a year, the wood moisture levels had risen so much that spray foam was falling off of the wood in some areas in the crawl space. The true problem was the moisture coming through the walls and ground into the crawlspace, raising the humidity extensively. At above 60% relative humidity, mold growth and wood rot can start to take place. Our inspector came out to the home to fully evaluate the issue with a free inspection. The humidity level was measured at just above 80%. Our inspector recommended having the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed to solve the problem. Our team installed the system, effectively sealing out the moisture, and monitoring & controlling the humidity level to protect the floor.

The crawlspace of this Hilton Head Island, SC property was extremely damp, which contributed to floor problems. A year ago, the subfloor was newly built and insulated with spray foam. Within a year, the wood moisture levels had escalated to the point that spray foam was peeling off the wood in several places and falling down in the crawl space. The underlying issue was moisture entering the crawlspace via the walls and ground, significantly elevating the humidity. Mold development and wood rot can begin when the relative humidity rises over 60%. Our inspector came out to the house for a free examination to completely examine the problem. The humidity level was measured at just above 80%. To fix the problem, our inspector suggested using the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Our crew installed the system, sealing out the moisture and controlling the humidity level to preserve the floor.

With the installation of a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, this homeowner who was experiencing high humidity levels and flooding in the crawl space was able to seal out humidity and pump away water, protecting the wood framing supporting the floor from mold and wood rot.
