Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

If your home has an inefficient sump pump, then it cannot effectively protect against basement flooding, water seepage, and water damage. The waterproofing professionals at Lowcountry Foundation Repair, offer the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, a battery-powered pump that promises security even during power outages. This three-pump system also automatically adjusts to meet pumping needs. By also repairing floor cracks, by backfilling them with stone and covering it with fresh concrete, we can further protect your below-grade space from water damage. Cracked concrete basement floor slabs are porous, meaning water can seep through, exacerbating the crack and leading to further structural damage.

Many homeowners think that because their home was built on a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. The experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair know differently and have seen the signs and solutions to crawlspace moisture problems. Humidity and standing water in the crawlspace will eventually evaporate into the air and create a moist air environment, causing the floor joists to begin rotting, grow mold, and sink over time into the soft soil. One of the most common indications of a moisture problem in the crawlspace is falling insulation because once moisture soaks the insulation, it falls or holds water against the wood. By adding a CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System, the crawl space can be sealed off from environmental moisture & humidity, keeping the crawlspace dry. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!

This home had puddles of water throughout the crawlspace. One of our inspectors did a thorough inspection of the home, providing customized quotes for options to solve the water issue. A part of that solution was installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, making the crawlspace dry all the time.

This homeowner had a sump pump in the garage to keep the space dry when water would come in during times of heavy rain. It was a sump pump not designed well enough to function after long-term use and maintenance. The water was starting to overflow from the sump, causing a serious water issue. They called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to fix the issue. Our team installed "The King" of sump pumps, called the TripleSafe sump pump, and installed a perimeter drainage system that would lead all of the water entering the garage into the sump pump, finally keeping the space dry as it should be.

This home in Hilton Head Island, SC had severe humidity in the crawlspace contributing to an issue with the floor. The subfloor had been newly installed and insulated with spray foam a year ago. Within a year, the wood moisture levels had risen so much that spray foam was falling off of the wood in some areas in the crawl space. The true problem was the moisture coming through the walls and ground into the crawlspace, raising the humidity extensively. At above 60% relative humidity, mold growth and wood rot can start to take place. Our inspector came out to the home to fully evaluate the issue with a free inspection. The humidity level was measured at just above 80%. Our inspector recommended having the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed to solve the problem. Our team installed the system, effectively sealing out the moisture, and monitoring & controlling the humidity level to protect the floor.
