Photo Album: A Sinking Subfloor in Okatie, SC is Fixed!
Doug C. of Okatie, SC had a foundation problem. The weight of his home was not properly supported in his crawl space, causing drywall cracks near some of his doors. Doug called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help.
Lowcountry Basement Systems was able to stabilize the sinking subfloor by installing a SmartJack System. SmartJacks are capable of supporting 60,000 pounds each. Doug needed nine SmartJacks to lift all the areas. The job took two days to complete and Doug was very happy with the results.
