A homeowner in Rutledge, GA reached out after noticing a sudden dip in their living room floor, accompanied by severe floor bounce and a nearby interior door that would no longer latch shut. An immediate inspection in the crawl space uncovered the culprit: an original concrete block support pier had settled unevenly in the soft Georgia clay, lost footing, and completely toppled over, leaving the primary center girder sagging without proper load-bearing support.
To resolve the structural failure, our crew cleared out the collapsed masonry and excavated down to dense, load-bearing strata. The team poured and mechanically compacted an engineered crushed-stone base to prevent any future settling before installing a heavy-duty Supportworks SmartJack® crawl space stabilizer. The galvanized steel column was fitted securely between the stable base footing and the wooden carrying beam, then carefully tensioned to lift the sagging joists back toward their original position. With the failed concrete pier replaced by engineered steel, the Rutledge home now has permanent, adjustable support—eliminating the floor dip, restoring smooth door operation, and ensuring lifelong structural stability.

Narcisa P. of Byron, GA had a problem with an unlevel foundation of her house. As she was selling the house, an appraiser had informed Narcisa that her floors weren’t level. In order to “fix it to list it” Narcisa went online to research foundation issues and found Lowcountryfoundationrepair.com. An inspector from Lowcountry Foundation Repair visited the home and performed a thorough inspection. A custom solution was put in place for Narcisa to fix her foundation issues. Galvanized steel SmartJacks would be installed in the crawl space to support the main beam, and bring her subfloor level again. Narcisa was thrilled with the results.
Gayle L. of Byron, GA was concerned about moisture in her crawl space. With all the rain in previous years, she noticed her foundation had settled as cracks appeared in the outer brick walls. Gayle saw and ad on Macon’s CBS 13 for the foundation experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair and called for a free inspection. The inspector visited the home and noted the dampness in the crawl space and microbial growth on some of the joists. He recommended a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to seal Gayle’s crawl space.The system is designed to lower relative humidity, preventing microbial growth.
