Wilbur, H of Raffin, SC had a wet, dirty crawl space that he had been dealing with for a while. He tried to dry out the crawl space by installing a crawl space fan. The fan blew warm humid air in the cool crawl space only making things worse. He paid a pest control company to put plastic down but it didn't last.
Lowcountry Basement Systems was able to fix the wet, nasty crawl space for Wilbur by installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
This homeowner was interested in decreasing the humidity in their crawlspace. They were noticing small pools of water and gross smells permeating the home from the crawlspace. They called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair and we sent a team out to install a CleanSpace Encapsulation, complete with sump pump and dehumidifier. Additionally, the floor was unsupported in one area, so SmartJacks were installed to stabilize the floor.
This Okatie, SC homeowner became concerned about his crawl space when he noticed water pooling under his home after heavy rains. He contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair interested in a complete encapsulation for his crawl space and schedule an appointment with one of our inspectors.
Our inspector, Brian Townsel, carefully took notes and pictures of the problems in the crawl space and reported what he saw back to the homeowner. He suggested that he should have the crawl space encapsulated with our CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels.
After six days of installation, the homeowner's crawl space was encapsulated, clean and dry. The homeowner was thrilled!
Bruce L. of Okatie, SC had been researching the effects of high moisture levels in crawl spaces. He didn’t like the idea that high moisture could lead to mold, soften wood joists, beams and subfloors. Bruce wanted to prevent those problems and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule an inspection of his crawl space.
Lowcountry Foundation Repair sent an inspector to the home and recommended installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The system would remove excess moisture and reduce humidity in the crawl space. Bruce decided to have the work done. It took the Lowcountry Foundation Repair team three days to install the system and Bruce was thrilled with the work!
This home had moisture issues in the crawlspace and the homeowner was concerned about the insulation falling down from the subfloor. The moisture was saturating the insulation with water and it was falling apart. The insulation was also holding water up against the wood foundation. Lowcountry Foundation Repair encapsulated the crawlspace, creating a dry and clean space.
