Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Savannah, GA had collecting ground water in their crawlspace. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection and customized quote to fix the issue. Our inspector recommended a Encapsulation to create a moisture controlled environment, sealing off excess water. The homeowner decided to move forward with the recommendation and were impressed with the results.

This nasty dirt crawl space was filled with debris, pooling water, and a damaged, inefficient liner. Installing a barrier between the dirt crawl space and the home can prevent groundwater leaks, water seepage, moisture, mold growth, and other damage. However, if it is an ineffective barrier, it will under-perform and your problems will persist. By adding our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the waterproofing specialists at Lowcountry Foundation Repair were able to transform this nasty, damp crawl space into a clean storage area, protecting it against moisture seepage, water infiltration, air leaks, and more. Combined with our SilverGlo® foam board crawlspace installation, we further boosted home health, energy-efficiency, and value!

A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the rest of the structure. As water vapor evaporates into the home, this can cause mold growth, pooling water, structural damage, and more. Luckily the experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair have an efficient solution with the vapor barrier which has been proven to protect against water seepage, air leaks, water intrusion, and more. By sealing off a dirt crawl space from the rest of the home, we can better protect the entire structure while also creating a clean and secure storage area! By adding crawlspace installation, we can further protect home health, energy-efficiency, and value. We start by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter zone can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then we add SilverGlo® foam board wall insulation, which resists water absorption, mold growth, and water infiltration!

Many homeowners think that because their home was built on a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. Environmental moisture will eventually saturate in the crawlspace causing wood rot and mold growth. By adding the vapor barrier, we can isolate the crawl space from the rest of the home while also protecting it from water leaks, moisture seepage, unsafe contaminants, and more. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!

This home with a crawl space foundation in Savannah, GA was sagging due to a combination of a moisture issue weakening the wood supporting the home and insufficient crawl space support posts. Our team solved the issue by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation to solve the moisture issue and a SmartJack Support System to supplementally support the floor.
