Peach County, GA Foundation & Waterproofing Company

Shane F. of Byron, GA was concerned about his home when he noticed his foundation sagging on one corner with some stair-step cracks on the side of the exterior wall. He noticed an ad for Lowcountry Basement Systems in his local newspaper, and immediately called to schedule an appointment with one of our inspectors.

Our inspector Brian came to Shane’s home and took notes and pictures of what he saw, and shared them with Shane to explain what needed to be done. Shane’s foundation needed to be lifted with our Helical Piers which are made of heavy duty steel that permanently stabilizes the home. After two days of installation, we lifted Shane’s home back to level and closed the cracks in his wall. He was amazed with the results! 

This Byron, GA homeowner was experiencing multiple signs of foundation settlement. His floors were uneven and sagging in some spots. He also noticed stair-stepping cracks in his brick wall. He didn’t know where to begin, so he went online and started searching for help.

He found Lowcountry Basement Systems’ website and called for a free inspection. The Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector designed a custom solution to fix the cracked brick wall and sagging floor. A Push Pier System was recommended to stabilize the sinking foundation wall and possibly lift the wall, closing the cracks.

To fix the sagging floors, the inspector recommended installing a SmartJack System to provide the needed support to the subfloor. The homeowner agreed with the findings and the solution to fix the foundation. He had the work done and was thrilled with the results!

Rebecca C. of Fort Valley, GA had a problem. She had moisture issues in her crawl space which caused cold floors in the winter. She also smelled musty and damp odors in her house during heavy rains. She was referred to LowcountryBasement.com from one of her neighbors and saw photos of nasty crawl spaces and wondered if that’s what hers looked like. She filled out an online form to schedule an inspection of her crawl space.

The Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector performed a thorough evaluation inside her home and in the crawl space. He noted mold and wood rot. Her crawl space indeed had moisture issues! The inspector recommended a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System be installed to seal the crawl space from the earth to reduce moisture and humidity. Rebecca agreed, and after a few days, the Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System created a hostile environment for mold to grow. No more musty damp smells and cold floors. The problem was fixed and Rebecca was thrilled!

Don S. of Fort Valley, GA called Lowcountry Foundation Repair concerned about moisture in his crawl space. He recently had a company in his crawl space that noticed condensation on his HVAC ductwork. Don wanted to install a vapor barrier below his home to protect this home.

Don did some research and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help. An inspector was sent out to his house and the crawl space was examined. The inspector recommended encapsulating the crawl space. Don wanted to protect his home from mold growth and decided to have the work done.

The job took three days to complete. First, CleanSpace liner was installed to reduce moisture in the crawl space. The crawl space piers were wrapped with CleanSpace liner. Then the crawl space vents were sealed. An Everlast crawl space door was installed and replaced the old leaky crawl space door. A SmartSump sump pump was installed and Sedona SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed.

After a few days, Don started noticing a difference in his home. It was not as humid, the air quality was better and he saved money on his next electric bill.

Lowcountry Basement Systems was able to help Sabrina by installing two SmartJacks. The project took one afternoon and she was thrilled right away!
