We installed our SmartJack support system to address the sagging floor issue caused by inadequate supports underneath. This involved assessing the problem areas, preparing the site, placing the SmartJacks at strategic points, and adjusting them to lift and stabilize the floor. A final inspection ensured the supports were properly installed and the floor was level and stable.
Before encapsulating the floor with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting was installed throughout the floor to prevent moisture build up. The dimples on the matting creates an easy drainage path for water to drain to the sump system for easy removal.
Our foundation pier system addressed a homeowner's settling foundation by stabilizing and lifting it back to its original position. Steel piers were driven deep into stable soil layers, bypassing the weak, shifting soil near the surface. This provided a solid foundation for the structure, preventing further settlement and restoring structural integrity.
The StarPipe system was installed outside this foundation wall to collect water and reroute from the foundation wall.
Thomas G. of Savannah, GA called Lowcountry Foundation Repair on behalf of Saint Paul Missionary Baptist Church. The church was settling into the ground. The main piers in the crawl space were sinking into the ground.
Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed five concentric piers in the crawl space to support the beam, replacing the need for the sinking piers. It took the team two days to stabilize the foundation of church. When it was done, all of the church members noticed and were happy to preserve their church.
