This homeowner was interested in decreasing the humidity in their crawlspace. They were noticing small pools of water and gross smells permeating the home from the crawlspace. They called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair and we sent a team out to install a CleanSpace Encapsulation, complete with sump pump and dehumidifier. Additionally, the floor was unsupported in one area, so SmartJacks were installed to stabilize the floor.
This home had failing support in the crawl space and the wood was starting to rot from the high humidity levels. Our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair was sent out to install SmartJacks to stabilize the floor. A CleanSpace Encapsulation was also installed to control the damaging levels of humidity in the space.
Robin R. of Musella, GA had a flooring problem. The piers under her home weren’t supporting the joists like they did when the home was built: the piers were sinking into the ground, causing the floors in the home to sink. Robin could tell something wasn’t right with floor. It felt soft, she said.
After doing some research online, she came across Lowcountry Foundation Repair's website and decided to call for help. We were able to stabilize Robin’s floor with crawl space support piers, called SmartJacks.
Robin needed five SmartJacks to fix the sinking floor. The work was completed in one day and she was thrilled to walk on solid floors once more.
Buck M. of Moncks Corner, SC knew he had a problem with his crawl space, it leaked water, he said. So he called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help. The project took three days to complete, after three weeks Buck noticed a dramatic difference in his home.
Floors sinking and drywall cracks are signs of foundation issues. The owners of this home in Moncks Corner, SC home, Eric and Kim P. called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help. The Lowcountry Foundation Repair inspector suggested installing adjustable steel SmartJacks to support the foundation, taking pressure off the sinking piers that had been struggling to support the home. SmartJacks are capable of supporting loads up to 60,000-pounds, and can be adjusted.
A Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System was then installed to finish this crawl space, sealing it from moisture coming in from the ground, transforming this “problem” crawl space into a clean, dry foundation. The owners were thrilled!
