Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Encapsulated, Restored to Like-New in Charleston, SC
Darold C. of Charleston, SC had serious problems with water in his crawl space. Moisture became trapped between the the subfloor and the main floor due to a kitchen drain leak in the wall behind the sink. One evening Darold saw a Lowcountry Basement Systems ad for crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing on Charleston’s WCSC-5. He called Lowcountry Basement Systems the next day. An inspector from Lowcountry Basement Systems visited Darold’s home and performed a thorough inspection of the crawl space and the damaged areas in the kitchen above. The inspector noted evidence of rodents, and noticed a musty smell in the home. The inspector recommended a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System which would reduce the moisture and remove the humidity from the crawl space. Darold agreed with the plan to protect his home and had the work done. In three days the project was complete, and Darold’s crawl space was protected and the excess moisture removed. He was thrilled with the results.
