This Savannah, GA homeowner became concerned when she noticed pooling of water in her crawl space. She decided to call Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule a free appointment with one of our inspectors.
Our inspector, Brian Hunter, suggested that she encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace liner, a seven-layer reinforced laminate that isolates the home from the earth completely and reduces humidity levels. Brian also suggested that we install our SaniDry Sedona, a dehumidifier that maintains the relative humidity in the crawl space to prevent moisture and microbial growth.
After two days of installation, the crawl space was completely encapsulated and the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome!

Addressing the moisture problem would prevent mold, wood rot and it would stop pests and small animals from making John's crawl space their home.
A homeowner in Savannah, GA recently called us after experiencing issues with raccoons living under their house. Although they had taken steps to resolve the issue by having critter control come, the raccoons had torn up the existing vapor barrier & vent connections. The homeowner noticed uneven floors and cracks in the drywall, which were likely caused by water seepage and pier settlement due to the damaged vapor barrier. Our inspector conducted a thorough inspection and confirmed that there was indeed water pooling in the crawl space and identified the extent of the problem.
After assessing the situation, we recommended the installation of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The system is designed with all common sealed vapor barrier issues in mind, including rodents and critters. The CleanSpace liner is extremely durable and outperforms other vapor barriers in terms of longevity. Our team also installed SmartJacks to support the sagging floor affected by water seepage and pier settlement. The result was a durable, moisture-controlled, and critter-free crawl space that will remain in good condition for years to come.
Mike and Michele F. of Savannah, GA recently purchased a home they wanted to remodel. Savings on heating and cooling costs was a priority to the new homeowners, so Mike went online and researched remodeling tips and tricks. He came across Lowcountryfoundationrepair.com and read about the encapsulation process for crawl spaces which help keep energy costs low. Mike called for a free estimate.
An inspector visited the home and thoroughly evaluated the crawl space and the home above. Mike noted his floors were cold and figured the encapsulation would help with that. The inspector confirmed Mike was correct. A custom solution was put in place for Mike and Michele to seal their crawl space. Over 2,600 square feet of CleanSpace liner was installed as part of the Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System, and SilverGlo rigid foam insulation completed the project. Mike and Michele were thrilled with the results and their next electricity bill!
