Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A Savannah, GA homeowner contacted our office for assistance in stabilizing their damaged floor joists. After a thorough assessment, we sistered the joists with new lumber. This process involves attaching new, structurally sound lumber alongside the existing joists to reinforce and stabilize them. By sistering the joists, we restore the structural integrity of the floor system, prevent further damage, and ensure a safer, more stable foundation for the home.

This homeowner's crawl space was plagued by persistent humidity, moisture, and mold, creating an unhealthy environment and potential structural risks. Our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, effectively eliminating humidity, moisture, and mold issues, transforming the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier area.

Excessive moisture in the crawl space caused the insulation to become wet and fall from the subfloor. Installing the CleanSpace Encapsulation System reduced humidity in the crawl space, creating a moisture-controlled environment, eliminating the need for subfloor insulation.

This Savannah, GA homeowner contacted  Lowcountry Foundation Repair when she became concerned about the moisture in her crawl space. She already had a vapor barrier in the crawl space but noticed it was not helping with the moisture problem and needed to be replaced. She scheduled an appointment with one of our inspectors. 

Our inspector, Jason Ussery, suggested that she encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. This new vapor barrier would keep her crawl space dry and clean and wouldn't have to worry about moisture ruining her floor joists and causing saggy floors! 

After three days of installation, the project was complete and the homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the results! 

The owners of this Savannah, GA home noticed musty, moldy smells. They couldn’t find the problem until one day they went in the crawl space and noticed the duct work was sweating. The crawl space was damp, had a foul smell and there were signs of rats living beneath their home. 

Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to reduce the humidity and moisture in the crawl space. With the crawl space sealed off from the earth, mold would not be able to grow and the joists would not continue to rot. After two days the family living in the house noticed the air smelled better and they could breath easier.
