Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In the before photo, notice the alarming gap where a window was pulling away from the brick, a common distress signal of foundation issues, captured at a client's home in Savannah, GA. Our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair swiftly identified the underlining cause. As you can see in the after photo, with the precise installation of Push Piers, we've not only closed the gap but secured the foundation against future problems. Through expertise and the right solution, peace of mind is restored.

Excessive moisture in the crawl space caused the insulation to become wet and fall from the subfloor. Installing the CleanSpace Encapsulation System reduced humidity in the crawl space, creating a moisture-controlled environment, eliminating the need for subfloor insulation.

This Savannah, GA homeowner contacted  Lowcountry Foundation Repair when she became concerned about the moisture in her crawl space. She already had a vapor barrier in the crawl space but noticed it was not helping with the moisture problem and needed to be replaced. She scheduled an appointment with one of our inspectors. 

Our inspector, Jason Ussery, suggested that she encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. This new vapor barrier would keep her crawl space dry and clean and wouldn't have to worry about moisture ruining her floor joists and causing saggy floors! 

After three days of installation, the project was complete and the homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the results! 

The owners of this Savannah, GA home noticed musty, moldy smells. They couldn’t find the problem until one day they went in the crawl space and noticed the duct work was sweating. The crawl space was damp, had a foul smell and there were signs of rats living beneath their home. 

Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to reduce the humidity and moisture in the crawl space. With the crawl space sealed off from the earth, mold would not be able to grow and the joists would not continue to rot. After two days the family living in the house noticed the air smelled better and they could breath easier.

This homeowner had a leak that flooded their kitchen. The water went through the floor and made the insulation in the crawlspace wet and fall down. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation to see about having the insulation removed. Our inspector noticed a moisture issue and suggested in addition to removing the insulation that the ground be covered in drainage matting, which helps prevent water from pooling in the crawlspace, allowing it to drain away from the home's foundation. This solution was sufficient for the level of moisture the crawlspace had and the homeowner was pleased with the work completed and the results.
