An open dirt crawl space can cause a whole host of problems if left untreated. Many homes are supported with wooden beams in the crawl space, but these supports are exposed to so much environmental moisture they could become weak, starting to warp and rot from moisture concentration. An unsealed crawl space can invite mold and mildew in, as well as leave the home above uncomfortable -triggering indoor allergen problems. It can also leave the floors feeling spongy or unlevel to walk on. Using a CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, a thick, moisture-resistant barrier, we've sealed this crawl space off from the potential dangers of an unfinished crawl space.

This Beaufort, SC homeowner was concerned about his crawl space when he noticed standing water underneath his home after heavy rains. He called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection of the area.
We waterproofed the crawl space with some drainage matting to help with the flow of water to the SmartSump system we installed, which are designed to evacuate any water from the crawl space. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona which is a dehumidifier that maintains the relative humidity in the crawl space to prevent moisture and microbial growth.
After four days of installation the crawl space was waterproofed, and the homeowner was very happy with the results!
