Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Summerville, SC contacted our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair with interest in a free inspection and quote for recommended repairs. Upon inspection, there were several signs of a humidity & water seepage issue. In order to keep the crawl space dry and healthy, our team installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System to essentially create a sealed, conditioned space that monitors and controls both the humidity and water level.

This home in Summerville, SC had high moisture in the crawl space that was putting the subfloor and joists to weaken over time. Our team was able to put a CleanSpace Encapsulation System in place to effectively reduce the moisture level and hold it at a safe 55% relative humidity.

This home in Summerville, SC had a moisture issue in the crawl space, which two different local companies had unsuccessfully attempted to solve. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the existing moisture barrier was a cheap, thin plastic that tore easily and was not properly sealed. Additionally, the multiple dehumidifiers were not draining properly and were exacerbating the moisture issue. The walls were covered in non-moisture-proof fiberglass insulation, which was breeding mold and allowing water to seep into the crawl space. To effectively solve these issues, a CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed, which is specifically designed to address common encapsulation problems like these. As a result, the crawl space is now a dry, healthy, and moisture-controlled space.

We installed SmartJack support posts in the sagging crawl space to stabilize the structure and prevent further settling. These posts are designed to provide targeted support, lifting and reinforcing areas where the foundation has weakened or settled. By addressing the root cause of the sagging, SmartJacks help restore the crawl space's structural integrity and ensure long-term stability.

The homeowner in Summerville, SC, had concerns about moisture in their crawl space, which our inspector verified during a thorough investigation. Our team discovered falling insulation, high humidity levels, standing water, and some areas where the wood had lost its structural integrity due to moisture damage. We recommended installing the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space and sistering joists to stabilize the areas with damaged wood to address these issues. Our team expertly installed both solutions, providing a long-lasting and effective solution to the homeowner's concerns.
