Glynn County's Leading Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor

Maureen M. of Sea Island, SC was walking in her home one day when she noticed her floors had started buckling in a few areas. She peeked in her crawl space and saw her insulation falling. Although there was no standing water, she could feel a large amount of moisture in the air.

It didn’t take her long to call Lowcountry Basement Systems for a free inspection. Upon the arrival of John, System Design Specialist, Maureen felt relief. John recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation system to prevent moisture from destroying her home from the foundation up.

Maureen’s project was scheduled and completed. She had Smart Jacks installed to provide additional support to her joists, CleanSpace liner to block out moisture from the ground, a SaniDry™ CX dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air and SilverGlo insulation added to her crawl space walls. The water was collected via TripleSafe Sump Pump and pumped away from her home.

Every time he walked across his kitchen floor he felt uneasy like he was about to fall right through his floor into his crawl space. He also noticed other signs of settlement around his home. Cracks in the drywall, doors that did not open or shut properly were becoming a daily nuisance. After doing some research online, Matt called Lowcountry Basement Systems for a free inspection of his foundation.

Lowcountry Basement Systems' sent an inspector to Matt's home to carefully look at his crawlspace and document the problem areas.

In one day the SmartJacks were installed, and the floor was properly supported. Matt no longer had to worry about falling through his kitchen floor!
