Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner had sagging floors and concerns about soft spots in the floor. One of our inspectors came out to the home and did a thorough inspection. They found that the kids' room had a subfloor and joists that were rotting. Some of the joists were broken and sagging. Our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair removed the rotten floor and replaced it with a new subfloor.

A homeowner in Summerville, SC contacted our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair with interest in a free inspection and quote for recommended repairs. Upon inspection, there were several signs of a humidity & water seepage issue. In order to keep the crawl space dry and healthy, our team installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System to essentially create a sealed, conditioned space that monitors and controls both the humidity and water level.

This home in Summerville, SC had high moisture in the crawl space that was putting the subfloor and joists to weaken over time. Our team was able to put a CleanSpace Encapsulation System in place to effectively reduce the moisture level and hold it at a safe 55% relative humidity.

This home in Summerville, SC had cracks appearing on the exterior of the home, indicating a foundation settlement issue. This issue would only get worse over time without repair, so our team installed helical piers to stabilize the foundation, preventing future settlement. With a hydraulic lift system, the piers were used to attempt to bring the settled area back closer to a level position.

This home in Summerville, SC had a moisture issue in the crawl space, which two different local companies had unsuccessfully attempted to solve. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the existing moisture barrier was a cheap, thin plastic that tore easily and was not properly sealed. Additionally, the multiple dehumidifiers were not draining properly and were exacerbating the moisture issue. The walls were covered in non-moisture-proof fiberglass insulation, which was breeding mold and allowing water to seep into the crawl space. To effectively solve these issues, a CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed, which is specifically designed to address common encapsulation problems like these. As a result, the crawl space is now a dry, healthy, and moisture-controlled space.
