This Richmond Hill, GA homeowner became concerned about her home's foundation when she noticed her hardwood floors cupping and the tile floors cracked. She contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule an appointment with one of our inspectors.
Our inspector suggested that she encapsulate her crawl space with our CleanSpace to prevent further moisture and weakening of her floor joists. CleanSpace is a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. He also suggested that she lift the settling foundation with SmartJacks, galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.
After four days of installation, the crawl space was completely encapsulated and the sinking floors were no longer a frustration for the homeowner, she was more than pleased with the outcome!

The job took three days to complete and Chris noticed a difference in his home after two weeks. He was very happy with the job and wish he would have called Lowcountry Basement Systems first.
