Beaufort County, SC Foundation & Waterproofing Company

One day, Bill C. of Saint Helena Island, SC was enjoying his outdoor pool when he noticed an area of concrete sinking near his pool skimmer. Bill was concerned that his skimmer could be damaged if the situation wasn’t fixed soon. After doing some research online, he learned that Lowcountry Basement Systems could raise and level the concrete around his pool.

Bill called Lowcountry Basement Systems and setup an appointment for an inspector to look at his situation free of charge. John, System Design Specialist recommended PolyLevel® to raise the concrete and prevent damage to his pool skimmer.

Bill was given a quote for the work that saved him thousands of dollars’ worth of concrete removal and construction. The job was scheduled and completed promptly.

Glenn G. of Bluffton, SC had a problem with humidity in his 5,600 sq. ft. home. He noticed musty, mold odors in parts of his home and his air conditioner was working overtime, trying to keep up with the demand for cool dry air. He researched the problem and found Lowcountry Foundation Repair.

After meeting with an inspector from Lowcountry Foundation Repair, Glenn decided to have his crawl space encapsulated to prevent moisture from entering his home and causing the mildew. It would also reduce the wear and tear on his air conditioning unit.

The inspector recommended the installation of a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent moisture from entering his home. CleanSpace Liner was installed to seal out moisture, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier collected moisture from the air and pumped it to a SmartDrain. The foundation walls were insulated with thermal foam board insulation. The vents were sealed with CleanSpace Vent Covers and the crawl space door was replaced with an EverLast CrawlSpace Door.

The project took seven days, and the effects were very noticeable right away. Glenn was thrilled!

George M. of Beaufort, SC was concerned about the condition of his home after Hurricane Matthew. He noticed extremely high levels of humidity that never seemed to go away.

Due to FEMA regulations, George was prohibited from sealing his crawl space vents, thereby preventing him from completely sealing off his crawl space. However, he was very interested in putting down a vapor barrier. He called Lowcountry Basement Systems because he knew it was going to be a difficult job, “that should be undertaken by professionals.”

Billy Brandenburg, one of Lowcountry Basement Systems’ inspectors, recommended sealing the earth off from the crawl space with Clean Space Linear. Billy also recommended an EverLast Crawl Space Door to seal the crawl space entrance. A SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed to remove the moisture from the air. Billy recommended installing 10 SmartVents around the crawl space to allow water pressure to equalize around the foundation in the event of another hurricane.

George was thrilled with the design and execution from the Lowcountry Basement Systems team!

Ann W. of Okatie, SC was concerned about her home when she noticed her floor sagging and doors not opening and closing properly. Ann was tired of seeing these problems in her home every day, so she decided to call Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule a free inspection of her crawl space.

Our inspector carefully took notes and pictures of what he noticed underneath her home, and notified Ann that the home needed nine SmartJacks to lift the foundation. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel, and are used as a column support that lifts the sagging floor joists.

After one day of installation the foundation was lifted back into place, and Ann’s floors no longer sagged and her doors shut properly. Ann was overjoyed with the results, and impressed by how quick our team was able to complete the project. 

Bill C. of Hilton Head Island, SC knew he had a problem with his driveway when a large dumpster was dropped on it years ago and left cracks in the front and back corners. Bill finally found the solution to his problem when he came across a Lowcountry Basement Systems ad in his local newspaper. He decided to call and set up a free inspection.

One of our inspectors, Brian, immediately knew what would fix Bill’s driveway cracks. Brian told Bill that the cracks should be lifted back into place and sealed with our PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. Our PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane that raises concrete slabs back to their desired position, and our NexusPro Joint Sealant is a long-lasting silicone-based sealant to fill joints and cracks.

Two days after installation, Bill was astounded by the results!  

Paul G. of Beaufort, SC had a beautiful back patio that felt incomplete because of the ugly cracks that were in the concrete. He decided to finally get these cracks fixed when he stumbled across a Lowcountry Basement Systems ad in his local paper. He immediately called and scheduled a free inspection.

Our inspector Billy suggested to the homeowner that the cracks can be fixed with our PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. Our PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane that filled the voids in the cracks, and our NexusPro is a long-lasting silicone-based sealant to fill joints and cracks.

After one day of installation, Paul’s patio was flawless, and he was very happy with the results! 

Julie C. of Okatie, SC said she had problems in her crawl space, cats, armadillos and other rodents. Making matters worse, Julie knew she had standing water under her home. She called Lowcountry Basement Systems for a free inspection.

After her two-hour appointment with inspector Brain Townsel. Julie knew she found the right company to help. Brian recommended a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The system would seal off Julie’s home from the elements and the “problems” wouldn’t be likely to return.

Our team was able to accomplish the job in two days. Julie was thrilled that no more animals were living under her home.

Pine Crest HOA of Bluffton, SC was experiencing flooding in their fitness and pool center during heavy rains. They stored expensive pool and fitness equipment that couldn't afford to be damaged. They desperately needed to have the area waterproofed and sealed from flooding water so they called Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule an appointment to receive a free estimate. 

Our inspector, Dan Friesen, carefully took notes and pictures of the damaged area and reported back to the company manager. He suggested that they replace the damaged drywall from the water and replace it with our EverLast Wall Restoration System, a 6 mil vinyl PVC sheet laminated to a ½” fiber reinforced rigid water resistant panel. EverLast wall panels will never rot or warp.

After two days of installation, the EverLast Wall was completely installed and the Pine Crest HOA was very happy with the outcome! 

Arnold W. of Hilton Head Island, SC had a pool in his backyard. The pool deck started to sink and fall away from the pool and into the grass, he said. Arnold also noticed a few cracks in concrete in other places. After seeing an ad in the Island Packet newspaper, Arnold called Lowcountry Basement Systems to lift and level his pool deck back into place.

Brian Hunter of Lowcountry Basement Systems went to Arnold’s house and recommended lifting and leveling the sinking concrete with PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a fast acting, environmentally friendly way of lifting concrete. While Brian was at Arnold’s house, he suggested filling the cracks with Nexus Pro, a flexible joint sealant.

The job took just a few hours and Arnold was thrilled with his backyard once again. 

Richard R. of Hilton Head Island, SC lived in a flood zone. To comply with NFIP Regulations and Building Codes, he was required to install flood vents in the lowest floor of his home, his 490 sq. ft. garage. Richard called the only authorized installer of Smart Vent flood vents in the area, Lowcountry Basement Systems, for help with the installation.

Brian Hunter of Lowcountry Basement Systems reviewed Richard’s preapproved plans, and the installation team was able to install the four vents within one day.

Ken K. of Okatie, SC received some disturbing news from his property manager. Ken was told that was standing water in his crawl space, directly under the center of his home. Ken was advised to call Lowcountry Basement Systems to help remove and protect his home from moisture.

Ken took the advice and scheduled a free inspection with Lowcountry Basement Systems. The standing water noticed by the pest control company was still there when Brian Townsel of Lowcountry Basement Systems showed up to do the inspection. Brian asked Ken if it was a common issue, or if he just recently noticed it. Ken said water tends to stay there after heavy rains.

Brian recommended Ken protect his house from the moisture. If the subfloor, joists, or main beams absorb water vapor, it would weaken the structure of the house, Brian explained. Ken took Brian’s advice and decided to prevent bigger and more expensive problems in the future by encapsulating his crawl space.

Richard J. of Beaufort, SC contacted Lowcountry Basement Systems after Hurricane Irma flooded their crawl space in August of 2017. Before the hurricane, Richard was noticing moisture in the crawl space causing his floors to sag and potentially create mold growth. When the stormwater created an even worse environment for the crawl space, he knew he needed the help of an expert. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Brian Townsel to Richard's home to thoroughly inspect the crawl space. Brian suggested that he encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. Since Richard's floors were sagging, Brian also suggested he have SmartJacks installed, a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

After a few days of hard work from the Lowcountry production team, Richard's crawl space had a complete makeover! The crawl space was now dry from the moisture, and the sagging floor joists were lifted with SmartJacks. Richard was thrilled with the outcome! 

Kevin J. of Okatie, SC contacted Lowcountry Basement Systems after he noticed standing water and an extensive amount of moisture in his new home's crawl space. Kevin was excited about living in his new home and wanted to keep it in perfect shape. He wanted to fix this issue as soon as possible, after doing some research online he decided to call Lowcountry Basement Systems and schedule a free appointment with one of the inspectors. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems had an inspector go to Kevin's home in Okatie and thoroughly check out the crawl space. He took notes and pictures of the problem areas so that he could give Kevin a precise free estimate. He suggested that Kevin waterproof his crawl space with a SuperSump sump pump and drainage matting. SuperSumps are designed to relieve subfloor water pressure and evacuate water from the crawl space. Drainage matting is recycled high-density polyethylene matting with dimples that allow better conductivity for water to easily get to the perimeter drainage or sump pump. 

After two days of installation, the crawl space was fully waterproofed and free of standing water. Kevin was very happy with the results and felt relaxed in his new forever home! 

Nelda R. of Bluffton, SC became concerned about her porch when she noticed her home had started to sink into the ground. The porch became uneven and the white column pillars pulled away. It was Nelda's favorite part of her home and the settlement didn't sit well with her. She spoke to other companies about fixing the issue, and all of them wanted to completely remove the entryway and rebuild it. A process that would be long and expensive. Her mind was put at ease when she saw an ad for concrete lifting and leveling in her local paper from Lowcountry Basement Systems. She immediately called and scheduled a free appointment with an inspector. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Brian Hunter to Nelda's home to inspect her entryway and provide an estimate to fix her problems. Brian suggested she level the sinking porch and columns with PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane that is injected through a dime-sized hole in the concrete. It expands beneath the concrete slab to lift it back to its desired height. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems' PolyLevel installers used PolyLevel to lift the patio to its level position. The patio looked great and Nelda was very excited about the outcome!

Lowcountry Foundation Repair recommended installing six galvanized steel helical piles around the perimeter of the addition to stabilize the slab. The helical piles would also give the installation team a chance to lift the addition. Elaine listened to the recommendation and agreed. She decided to move forward and fix her addition.

The job took two days to complete. The lift was achieved and the addition was made level with the rest of the house. Elaine was thrilled!

This homeowner had a bumpy driveway at his Bluffton, SC home. Some parts of the driveway had sunk, other parts of the driveway had been lifted by tree roots.

Rudy H. of Beaufort, SC owned a home that was 15-years-old. One day after a heavy rain one day, he noticed there were a few puddles of water in the crawl space. Rudy decided to call Lowcountry Basement Systems to look at the issue.

Lowcountry Basement Systems recommended installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The system would prevent rainwater from entering the crawl space. It would also remove the water in the crawl space and reduce the humidity under the home. Rudy liked the idea and had the Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed with a sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

The project took the Lowcountry Basement Systems team about a week to install. Rudy was very happy to have his crawl space protected from mold and wood rot. The system also lowered his electric bill because the HVAC didn't have to run as much to reach and maintain the desired temperature. 

Chuck N. of Hilton Head Island, SC called Lowcountry Basement Systems after seeing an advertisement on television for crawl space repair and encapsulation. Chuck, previously had his crawl space sprayed with foam, but there remained a moisture problem under his home. He wanted his crawl space cleaned up and in nice working order for the HVAC and termite professionals.

Lowcountry Basement Systems inspected the crawl space and showed photos of mold growing under the home to Chuck. It was advised to encapsulate the crawl space, sealing the home off from the earth.

The earth continually releases moisture vapor under homes, if the home is not sealed off, joists beams and subfloors can rot from the excess moisture.

Lowcountry Basement Systems fixed Chuck’s crawl space in one week. First, the crawl space was encapsulated, then a SmartDrain was installed. The crawl space vents were sealed, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed and a new crawl space door replaced the old leaky one.

With the moisture issue addressed, mold would not grow.

Chuck was thrilled!

Ed Appelbaum of Hilton Head Island, SC wanted to sell his home as soon as possible. However, there was one thing slowing him down. One section of his driveway sunk, creating bumps every time someone parked their car. It also created an eyesore and Ed was concerned that it might negatively impact his sale.

Ed called Lowcountry Basement Systems after seeing a couple of advertisements for concrete repair in the newspaper. Lowcountry Basement Systems sent an inspector to Ed’s home and recommended stabilizing the concrete slab with PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a two-part polyurethane foam that is injected under concrete through dime-sized holes. PolyLevel expands rapidly, filling voids, stabilizing and lifts slabs.

Lowcountry Basement Systems stabilized the sinking slab and lifted it with PolyLevel. Lowcountry also installed a CompressionGuard System to act as a shock absorber for naturally expanding concrete. The project took one day to complete after it was complete ED was able to list his house for sale.

The homeowner found that the insulation in their crawlspace was falling down in many places and looked old. They called Lowcountry Foundation Repair interested in getting better insulation and an encapsulation.

Their crawlspace was transformed into a dry, moisture-controlled space, protecting the wood foundation from moisture and creating a conditioned space that protects the AC from working extra hard against hot outside air.

Blaine was replacing the floors in his home when he noticed a huge crack running through the interior concrete slab of his home! With closer inspection, he noticed that floors were sagging so bad in certain areas that it was actually separating from the wall. He knew he needed help, and fast. He reached out to Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection. 

The inspector discovered that the reason the floors were sagging was high humidity levels inside the crawl space were saturating and rotting the wood underneath Blaine's home. He recommended that Blaine have the CleanSpace encapsulation system installed to create a moisture-free controlled environment along with SmartJack stabilizing system to correct the sagging and restore the integrity of the home. 

Blaine agreed and he can now rest easy knowing that his home is stable and protected from further damage.

Martin in Saint Helena Island, SC was concerned when he noticed some cracks in the ceiling and walls, as well as some doors sticking. He called Lowcountry Foundation Repair and one of our inspectors came out to provide a free inspection and custom quote. Our inspector determined that the issues were caused by excess moisture in the crawlspace, which in turn weakened the support beams.

Our inspector recommended our SmartJack support system as a permanent solution to stabilize the floors. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel to prevent rusting and are adjustable so they will continue to offer support even if there is further foundation settlement in the future. In addition, our inspector recommended our CleanSpace Encapsulation System to protect the crawlspace from moisture and humidity.

Homeowner, George, in Beaufort, SC noticed he had water in his crawlspace. There were cracks that let in rainwater during storms.  He knew that this could lead to a larger home problem, so he did some research on the web for who to call. After some looking, George found Lowcountry Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection and a customized quote.

A Lowcountry Foundation Repair inspector evaluated George’s home to look at his crawlspace. He saw there were some cracks in his crawlspace which were causing water to enter the space. The inspector decided that installing an encapsulation would be the best option to seal off any groundwater and keep the crawlspace dry. The production team installed the encapsulation and now George will have a dry crawlspace for many years.

This home had a musty odor emanating from the crawlspace. The homeowner was concerned there may be mold growing in the crawlspace, so they called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a solution. Our inspector evaluated the home to find the moisture levels in the crawl space were high, causing mold to grow and the wood beams to rot. Our team installed the encapsulation, taking care of the humidity in the air and removing groundwater away from the space. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System is the ultimate solution for protecting the home from moisture.

The owner of this home contacted us with concerns about their crawl space. They mentioned critters like to live under the house sometimes and there are musty moldy smells that get worse during more humid seasons. One of our inspectors came out to the property and did a thorough inspection of the foundation of the home. In the crawl space, the measured relative humidity level of the air was above 80%, a very high level. The relative humidity really should be kept at about 55% to prevent microbial growth, mold, and wood rot. With this in mind, our inspector recommended having the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed to seal off the harmful moisture levels, monitoring & controlling the relative humidity to around 55%. A decrease in humidity can make the crawlspace a less habitable space for critters. The homeowner decided to move forward with having the project done, and our team installed the encapsulation.

This home out on Spring Island had a severe moisture issue in the crawl space. The homeowner called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to stop the moisture issue completely. One of our system design specialists was sent out to the home to do a free inspection, investigating the crawl space thoroughly and crafting a custom-designed CleanSpace Encapsulation solution to solve the issues for good. One element of the customized encapsulation that was particularly unique was that the home had an open crawl space rather than a vented crawl space, so in addition, a product called Foamax was used to create an insulated wall barrier, closing the openings off from outside air leaks. Our production team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed the solution expertly alleviating the moisture and creating a conditioned, insulated space.

A homeowner in Forest Park, GA recently discovered signs of a potential foundation issue in their property. They noticed cracks on the exterior brick walls, indicating a settlement problem over time. To address this concern, they sought assistance from our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair. Our experienced inspector conducted a thorough examination of the property, pinpointing the causes behind the visible symptoms.
After careful evaluation, our inspector recommended the installation of helical piers around the settlement area to stabilize the foundation. Helical piers are a proven solution for addressing sinking foundations, effectively preventing further damage and providing long-term stability. By implementing this specialized support system, the homeowner can ensure the structural integrity of their home and mitigate any future issues associated with the foundation settlement.

In St. Helena Island, SC, we successfully solved a homeowners crawl space moisture problem, which caused the floors above to rot and require replacement. Our team had to remove all wet and moldy debris from the space and fully encapsulate it. Encapsulation of the crawl space involves sealing all cracks and gaps in the foundation walls, floors, and rim joists, and installing a waterproof vapor barrier on the ground. This ensures that no moisture from the ground can penetrate the crawl space and cause any further damage. Additionally, a crawl space dehumidifier was installed to promote air circulation and remove any damp or humid air from the space.

As a result of the support system failing, the floors above the crawl space sagged and the interior walls cracked. Providing the necessary support for a safe and stable home was our permanent solution, the SmartJack System.  This system provides a solid base for the floors to sit on, allowing it to stay level and the walls to stay strong. It also helps to redistribute the weight evenly, which prevents further damage from being done to the home.

A Hilton Head Island, SC homeowner contacted our office to help repair their sunken, cracked, and uneven concrete driveway. The most effective solution for repairing the driveway was to use our PolyLevel System.

First, small holes are drilled into the sunken concrete slab. Then, a specialized polyurethane foam called PolyLevel is injected through the holes. As the foam expands, it fills the voids underneath the slab and lifts it back to its original position. Finally, the holes are patched, leaving behind a level and stabilized concrete surface.

Water and humdity was a problem for a homeowner in Okatie, SC. After contacting our office, we providided a through inspection and decided the most effective solution was to fully encapsute the space using our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This system completely seals off the crawl space from moisture, creating a dry, healthy environment. It also prevents rodents, insects, and other pests from entering the space. Finally, the system helps to reduce energy costs by creating a barrier between the crawl space and the interior living space.

When a homeowner in Hilton Head Island spotted concerning cracks in their exterior foundation wall and interior signs of distress around doors and walls, they knew they needed expert help. Our use of the Push Pier system, as detailed in the after photo, directly addressed the underlying foundation issues, stabilizing their home and sealing those once worrying cracks. Through our intervention, we not only restored their peace of mind but also reinforced our mission to offer both a remarkable customer experience and reliable solutions for significant home problems.

When homeowners in Bluffton, SC, noticed their patio steps separating and cracks forming, they knew it was time to call us. The damage was not only unsightly but also a safety concern. Our solution? Installing Helical Piers, a trusted method for foundation repair. 

The installation process begins with excavating small areas around the foundation where the piers will be placed. Next, steel brackets are attached to the foundation’s footing, and hydraulic cylinders are used to drive the piers deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock. Finally, the weight of the structure is carefully transferred onto the piers, and the excavated areas are backfilled, completing the stabilization process.

Facing a sagging kitchen floor in their Fripp Island rental property, the homeowner was unsure about the crawl space's support structure. As you can see in the before photo, the uncertainty was valid—revealing inadequate support. Enter our solution: our SmartJack system. Notice in the after photo the remarkable transformation—safer, sturdier, and more reliable support.
