Bill and Cherie M. of Savannah, GA called Lowcountry Foundation Repair about their unfinished crawl space. The crawl space smelled musty, some areas showed signs of microbial growth, and there was standing water puddles. Bill and Cherie wanted to fix the problem right the first time, so they called us.
Lowcountry Foundation Repair sent an inspector to the home and recommended installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation. The system would reduce the humidity and remove the moisture. With the system in place Bill and Cherie noticed their problems were gone in two weeks! They were thrilled!
Common among homes in Savannah, GA, this home was also experiencing an issue where the subfloor insulation would fall down. This is a common sign of a moisture issue in the crawl space, so our team installed an encapsulation in order to seal out moisture and control the humidity level of the air.
We installed our SmartJack support system to address the sagging floor issue caused by inadequate supports underneath. This involved assessing the problem areas, preparing the site, placing the SmartJacks at strategic points, and adjusting them to lift and stabilize the floor. A final inspection ensured the supports were properly installed and the floor was level and stable.
Bob B., of Savannah GA met a Lowcountry Foundation Repair team member at the Savannah Home and Garden Show and scheduled a free inspection of his crawl space. After the inspection, Bob decided to fix his wet crawl space.
The crawl space was damp, musty, and cluttered with debris. Insulation was sagging, and there were signs of mold and mildew growth on the walls and floor. The area was poorly ventilated, contributing to the overall unpleasant and unhealthy environment. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and well-ventilated. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier has been installed, providing a bright, white, and durable covering that seals the floor and walls. Insulation is properly secured, and there are no signs of mold or mildew. The encapsulation has transformed the area into a clean, usable space that promotes a healthier home environment.
