Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The crawlspace of this Hilton Head Island, SC property was extremely damp, which contributed to floor problems. A year ago, the subfloor was newly built and insulated with spray foam. Within a year, the wood moisture levels had escalated to the point that spray foam was peeling off the wood in several places and falling down in the crawl space. The underlying issue was moisture entering the crawlspace via the walls and ground, significantly elevating the humidity. Mold development and wood rot can begin when the relative humidity rises over 60%. Our inspector came out to the house for a free examination to completely examine the problem. The humidity level was measured at just above 80%. To fix the problem, our inspector suggested using the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Our crew installed the system, sealing out the moisture and controlling the humidity level to preserve the floor.

With the installation of a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, this homeowner who was experiencing high humidity levels and flooding in the crawl space was able to seal out humidity and pump away water, protecting the wood framing supporting the floor from mold and wood rot.

This home in Hilton Head Island, SC had issues with water flooding into the crawl space and raising the humidity levels, starting to develop a mold & wood rot issue. The existing sump pump in the crawl space was not designed for constant regular use and would clog. Our sump pump drainage systems are designed for regular constant use and have a yearly maintenance schedule rather than potentially weekly or monthly.

This open basement in Hilton Head Island, SC had water seeping into the basement when it would rain, and the relatively high humidity levels known to the Hilton Head area were coming in the openings. The invading moisture caused mold growth on the subfloor & joists, decreasing the air quality of the living space above. Our team was able to help solve the issue by installing a WaterGaurd drainage system to capture the water and a TripleSafe sump pump to pump it out of the basement. The walls and openings to outside air were sealed with Foamax wall and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was also installed to monitor and control the humidity level of the air down to a safe 55% relative humidity, stopping mold growth and protecting the floor from wood rot.
