A homeowner in Mount Pleasant, SC were noticing buckling in their flooring and needed answers. They called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to get answers tailored to their needs. High humidity levels were found as well as mold growing on the floor joist due to the humidity. A Cleanspace encapsulation system, Everlast door, and Sanidry Sedona was installed in tandem with Mold-X2 mold remediation spray to control and regulate organic growth within the crawlspace and the relative humidity.
As seen from the before picture, this crawlspace has been dealing with water intrusion at the foundation wall. With a perimeter crawlspace drainage system, all water will be captured and redirected to the sump pump.
The team installed SmartJack support posts in the crawl space to address the damage caused by high moisture levels. The excessive moisture weakened the joists, leading to sagging floors. SmartJacks provide stability and help lift the floors back to their proper position, ensuring long-term support and preventing further structural issues.
This Sullivan's Island, SC homeowner became concerned when he noticed the floors were slanted in the older home that he had just bought. He contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule a free appointment with one of our trusted inspectors.
Our inspector suggested that he have the foundation lifted back to place with our SmartJacks, galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.The floor joists in his home were weak and needed extra support.
After three days of installation, the floors were no longer slanted and the homeowner was very happy with the outcome.
