Photo Album: Weakened, Damaged Floors Fixed in Savannah, GA with Encapsulation
Chester E. of Savannah, GA owned this house and another house. He had similar problems with both homes. The flooring was weak, and the humidity was high in both places. He found Lowcountry Basement Systems and inquired about the Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
Lowcountry Basement Systems met with Chester at his home and inspected both crawl spaces. The moisture from the earth and excess water from storms was damaging his foundation and subfloor. It was recommended to seal off the crawl space, remove the excess moisture and dehumidify the area with a Complete CrawlSpace Encapsulation System.
