A homeowner in Walterboro, SC noticed the ground outside his home had been very wet for a while. After a couple of months he started to worry about the moisture level under his home. He wanted to make sure that the moisture didn’t cause mold or wood rot to grow under his home.
After doing some research online, he called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help. After a two-hour inspection of his foundation, the inspector recommended encapsulating the crawl space to prevent mold and wood rot.
