This nasty dirt crawl space was having moisture issues. Installing a vapor barrier in the crawl space can prevent groundwater intrusion, environmental moisture damages, and mold growth. Adding our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the waterproofing specialists at Lowcountry Foundation Repair were able to transform this nasty, damp crawl space into a moisture-controlled space, protecting it against flooding, ground moisture, and high air humidity. Combined with our Foamax board crawlspace wall installation, the health, energy efficiency, and value of the home are significantly improved!
This North Charleston, SC homeowner contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair when he noticed some issues with his previously encapsulated crawl space. The crawl space was encapsulated in 2008 by another business, but he wanted to make some changes so he called Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule an appointment with one of our inspectors.
Our inspector listened to the homeowners concerned and suggested that he install a new EverLast Crawl Space Door. EverLast Crawl Space Door is made of a thick polypropylene plastic so it will not rust or rot.
After one day of installation, the crawl space door was replaced and the homeowner was very happy with the outcome!
