This home in Jesup, GA had a prior powderpost beetle infestation that left the floor of the home weak and sagging. There were large gaps growing in between the base of the wall and the floor from sagging. The wood was repaired with new treated wood and our team installed the SmartJack Support System to lift and stabilize the new floor into place. Our inspector recommended also considering a CleanSpace Encapsulation later on to control the moisture levels in the crawl space, preventing mold growth and deterring the interest of powderpost beetles.
A call from an early childhood education center alerted us to an issue with their crawl space. Our inspection revealed that moisture and water seepage had caused the subfloor in the classrooms and bathroom to rot. To fix the problem, our team removed the damaged subfloor and replaced it with new treated wood. We also installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent the issue from recurring.

In Townsend, GA, a homeowner reached out to our team, Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair, regarding gaps and separation between their porch slab and surrounding brickwork. Seeking resolution, they requested a no-cost inspection to assess the issue's extent and cause. Our inspector conducted a thorough evaluation, revealing that the porch slab's sinking at the home's perimeter was causing the gaps.
Recognizing the need for stability, our inspector recommended the installation of slab piers. These piers were proposed as a solution to stabilize and elevate the sunken slab back to its proper position. Through the implementation of this strategy, we effectively addressed the issue, ensuring a durable solution for the Townsend, GA homeowner's concern while maintaining the property's integrity.
