This front porch in Savannah, GA was sinking. Small hairline cracks appeared, then grew. The cracks were filled but grew again and became a major eyesore for the homeowners.
Lowcountry Foundation Repair fixed the sinking front porch in one day by installing galvanized push piers. You can see where we dug into the foundation area of the porch in order to install the piers, that use the grounded leverage to correct sinking issues such as this one.
This Savannah, GA homeowner contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair to receive an estimate for a vapor barrier in his crawl space. We scheduled him for a free appointment with our of our inspectors.
Our inspector suggested that we use our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a seven-layer reinforced laminate that isolates the home from the earth completely and reduces humidity levels. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, a dehumidifier that maintains the relative humidity in the crawl space to prevent moisture and microbial growth.
After three installation days, the crawl space was completely encapsulated and the homeowner was very happy with the results!
