Crawl Space Repair, Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractors in Summerville

Stan Y. of Summerville, SC wanted to encapsulate his crawl space. He wanted to improve the quality of air coming up through the subfloor from the crawl space into the house. He was also worried about the possibility of mold growing under his home.

Lowcountry Basement Systems installed a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to remove moisture and reduce humidity from the crawl space. In addition to preventing mold from growing, the system drastically improved the air quality in Stan’s home.

The project took the Lowcountry Basement Systems team three days to complete. After two weeks of the system running, Stan and his family noticed the differences and they were thrilled with the results.

Stan Y. of Summerville, SC had tiles cracking in his bathroom and cracks forming around the door corners in his home where he had lived for 62 years. The tile repairman told Stan his house had settled and that he needed to have his foundation looked at; that he probably had a moisture issue. Stan saw an ad in the Charleston Post & Courier for free crawl space estimates and called Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule one.

The inspector performed a thorough evaluation of Stan’s home and crawl space and noticed soggy, fallen insulation, standing water and mold growing on some of the joists in the crawl space. The inspector gave Stan a custom quote for a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System which would reduce the moisture and remove the humidity from his crawl space. Stan agreed with the plan to protect his home for the future and had the work done. In just a few days his crawl space was transformed, and the cracks in the rooms above would seal themselves as the air in the crawl space dried out and removed from the wood.

Jane M. of Summerville, SC called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help with her foundation. Jane had multiple issues going on at the same time. Her foundation walls were sinking, causing star-stepping cracks in her brick wall. Her floors were sagging in some areas, and the crawl space had mold growing in it.

Lowcountry Basement Systems lifted the foundation wall, closing the cracks by installing helical piles around a portion of the home’s perimeter. The sagging floors were fixed using a SmartJack System in conjunction with a PowerBrace (I-beam). All parts of the helical piles and SmartJack System are made with galvanized steel so they won’t rust over time.

The job took three days to complete and she noticed a difference right away. She wondered why she didn’t call earlier.
