Monroe County, GA Foundation Repair & Crawl Space Waterproofing

Denny E. of Forsyth, GA had a problem with his home. Water ran from the driveway towards the house and caused leaks in his basement because chipmunks tunneled under the concrete! Frustrated, Denny started researching repair options and discovered Lowcountry Basement Systems. He called for a free inspection.

The Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector noted the drops in the concrete and suggested using PolyLevel to fill the voids underneath the slabs. PolyLevel is injected through small dime-sized holes drilled into the sunken concrete. It expands due to a chemical reaction, and lifts slabs back towards their original position.

In less than a day, Denny’s driveway was back to level again and the water diverted away from the house. He was thrilled with the results!

Doyal B. of Culloden, GA had a floor problem, he thought. The floor was bouncy and sagging in some areas. Naturally, Doyal went online and searched for flooring companies to repair to his “floor” however, the floor wasn’t the problem.

Underneath Doyal’s home, the main supporting beam was sagging, not fully supporting the subfloor – creating the flooring problem. Doyal had a foundation problem. He called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help.

Lowcountry Basement Systems installed a SmartJack System to stabilize and support the beam. The beam would properly support the floor as it had been designed to. The project took two days to complete and the flooring problem was fixed!

Tripp has a beautiful home nestled back in the wooded country of Smarr, GA. He noticed that his hardwood floors were cupping and warping. He suspected he may have a moisture problem so he reached out to Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help. 

The system design specialist came out to inspect the issues and, sure enough, Tripp had high humidity levels that were causing his insulation to fall, and his hardwood floors to swell and buckle from all the water. 

The solution was CleanSpace encapsulation to dry out the space to prevent further damage to his flooring. After the install Tripp replaced the damaged flooring and he no longer has any issue with moisture beneath his home. 

When this homeowner noticed dips all in their flooring. Once they came across our Lowcountry Foundation Repair, they called us right away to receive their free estimate on the job. The homeowner agreed to hired us and our installation crew arrived at the home and began work on this crawlspace by placing down the solid concrete footings that the new supports will rest on. These footings sit on a layer of engineered fill to avoid setting them 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 in unevenly. Now that the project this homeowner set out to accomplish has been completed, their crawlspace is much more accessible. These new SmartJack piers will keep this home supported for many years into the future.
