Hinesville, GA Crawl Space & Foundation Repairs

In Hinesville, GA, a home faced the challenge of sagging floors, signaling crawl space distress. We intervened with SmartJack, a robust, adjustable support system designed for durability and safety. This photo proudly displays a revived space - solid, level, and secure

This homeowners association building had old rusty light-duty jacks in the crawlspace that were starting to noticeably lose support capability. They came across Lowcountry Foundation Repair and called us to receive a free estimate for what it would take to support the floor properly. After the homeowner viewed the proposed work, they agreed to hire us and our installation crew came out to the home to begin the installation. Holes are excavated and filled with engineered fill to avoid setting the new support on potentially unstable ground. Next, the PowerBrace Supplemental Beams are installed and adjusted to fit against the joists of the crawlspace, creating supports capable of maintaining the desired height the homeowner wants for their crawlspace. These beams can also be adjusted in the future, should the home begin to settle. Now that the project this homeowner set out to accomplish has been completed, the new SmartJack Support System will keep this home level and supported.

The homeowner noticed that their house was sinking into the ground. After calling Lowcountry Foundation Repair, an inspector came to do a free inspection and give an estimate. The inspector saw cracking in many areas, a sign of foundation settlement, and measured the level of the floor to see what areas needed support. The inspector talked to the homeowner and recommended that they use our slab pier system. This would lift and stabilize the foundation to stop the sinking and level the floors. 

After some consideration, the homeowner decided to go through with the slab pier recommendation. Our production team came and implemented the system and was able to stabilize the floors. The homeowner was happy with the results, and this is another example of how we are working to redefine the industry.

Mike and Samantha from Hinesville GA, called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to set up an appointment for a free on-site estimate. Caleb, our design specialist, give them a quote to lift and level their concrete pool deck slabs. Our poly level product, which was used for this project, lifted the concrete and elimanated any trip hazards and the potential for pooling water. 

John M. of Hinesville, GA had a concrete problem. His concrete driveway was sinking in the middle, and the sinking area turned into a dip. Water, said John, errored the soil underneath the driveway causing the problem.

Lowcountry Basement Systems used PolyLevel, a two-part structural grade polymer to lift the concrete, eliminating the dip. First, small holes about the size of a dime were drilled into the area that needed to be lifted. Then, the Lowcountry Basement Systems technician injected PolyLevel through the holes. As the two-parts mixed under the concrete, they expanding and lifted the sinking area.

The job took just a few hours to complete. John was thrilled that his driveway was fixed!

Garion S. of Hinesville, GA noticed cracks in his exterior walls near his patio. Part of his stoop sunk into the patio. Garion was worried about the problem. He knew his house was settling. About 11 years ago he fixed the same cracks, but they kept coming back, the real problem had not been addressed yet. Garion asked his friends about the issue and they suggested he call Lowcountry Basement Systems.

Garion called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help. An inspector went to his house, examined the situation and recommended stabilizing the foundation of the patio with a Push Pier System. The push piers, made of galvanized steel, would be hydraulically driven into the ground, down to the load bearing strata where the weight of the patio could be transferred, stabilizing the patio. After the installation crew stabilized the foundation, they could attempt to lift the sinking area, closing the gaps in the brick wall.

Garion liked the proposal from the Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector and decided to have the work done. It took two days to complete the project. Garion was thrilled with the results!

In 1986 Larry H. moved into his new home in Hinesville, GA. After a while, he noticed the floors seemed weak in a few spots and began bouncing. A tornado in 1998 made his floors worse. The doors and windows started to stick.

Larry saw an ad on TV for our patented SmartJacks. He called the phone number on the screen and asked for a free inspection.

Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector, Brian Hunter went to Larry’s house and recommended six SmartJacks to stabilize the foundation, fixing the uneven floor and making it possible to open and close the windows and doors. The installation was quick, and Larry noticed results immediately!
