Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before, the homeowner in Savannah, GA, was constantly dealing with a flooded crawl space every time it rained, which was a huge hassle. After we installed the StarPipe drainage system, their crawl space stayed dry, even during heavy storms. Here’s how it works: the StarPipe system uses pipes with small holes placed around the crawl space. These pipes collect water and send it to a sump pump, which pumps it out and away from the house. It’s a simple and effective way to keep the crawl space dry and protect the home.

Eric F. wanted to sell his Savannah, GA home. He purchased it with the intent to flip it, but was notified by a home inspector of foundation issues in his crawl space. The main beams were not properly supporting the subfloor above. Eric asked the inspector who he would recommend for an estimate to fix the problem before putting the house on the market. The home inspector recommended the foundation experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair.

Eric called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free estimate. The inspector noted the lack of support in the crawl space and recommended adding additional support to his foundation under the subfloor. The project would require adjustable galvanized steel support piers called SmartJacks, to support the sinking area in Eric’s foundation as well as supplemental PowerBrace beams to further stabilize the subfloors of the house. Eric had the work done and was thrilled with the results. The house was ready to list!

A Savannah, GA homeowner contacted our office for assistance in stabilizing their damaged floor joists. After a thorough assessment, we sistered the joists with new lumber. This process involves attaching new, structurally sound lumber alongside the existing joists to reinforce and stabilize them. By sistering the joists, we restore the structural integrity of the floor system, prevent further damage, and ensure a safer, more stable foundation for the home.
