Morgan and Ashley R. of Jesup, GA called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to help with a mold issue in the crawl space. They were concerned that the mold would continue to grow and spread from the crawl space throughout the rest of the house. They called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to fix the moisture problem causing the mold.
We removed the moisture from the crawl space, and reduced the humidity, (putting the microbial growth in a dormant state), by installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation. The earth was sealed with Drainage matting and CleanSpace liner. The crawl space vents were sealed and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed along with a SuperSump sump pump. The project took three days for the our team to complete. Morgan and Ashley were thrilled to have fixed the problem causing the mold.
Christine noticed that her floors were sagging and bouncy so she went outside to see if try and identify the problem. She was shocked to discover her home appeared to literally be falling off it's existing supports. Looking for a permanent solution to this problem she reached out to Lowcountry Basement Systems.
Lowcountry Basement Systems informed Christine that her existing supports were sinking deeper into the ground due to softening of the soil underneath her home. We used our patented SmartJack system to put Christine's home back on solid ground, level her sagging floors and eliminate the shiftin.
This home in Jesup, GA had a prior powderpost beetle infestation that left the floor of the home weak and sagging. There were large gaps growing in between the base of the wall and the floor from sagging. The wood was repaired with new treated wood and our team installed the SmartJack Support System to lift and stabilize the new floor into place. Our inspector recommended also considering a CleanSpace Encapsulation later on to control the moisture levels in the crawl space, preventing mold growth and deterring the interest of powderpost beetles.
A call from an early childhood education center alerted us to an issue with their crawl space. Our inspection revealed that moisture and water seepage had caused the subfloor in the classrooms and bathroom to rot. To fix the problem, our team removed the damaged subfloor and replaced it with new treated wood. We also installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent the issue from recurring.
A valued customer reached out with concerns that their system wasn’t running as efficiently as it should. Our team jumped into action, connecting them with our service coordinator to get a technician out as soon as possible. Upon inspection, our expert discovered that the perimeter drainage system had come undone, preventing proper water flow. With a quick reconfiguration, the system was restored to full functionality—bringing peace of mind back to our customer!
