A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the rest of the home. As water vapor in the crawlspace evaporates, it creates a high level of humidity in the air, which can damage the wood structure and cause mold growth. Over 60% of the air in a home comes from a crawlspace, so musty moldy smells in the crawlspace can be a sign of a moisture issue. The experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair have a solution! with the vapor barrier which has been proven to protect against water seepage, air leaks, water intrusion, and more. By sealing off a dirt crawl space, the entire structure can be better protected while also creating a clean and secure storage area! By adding crawlspace installation, we can further protect home health, energy-efficiency, and value. It starts by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter zone can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then we add high performance Foamex board wall insulation, which resists water absorption, mold growth, and water infiltration!

Water seepage was causing multiple issues, and their existing sump system was not functioning effectively. We replaced it with our high-performance SmartSump Pump System, designed to handle water intrusion efficiently.

After installation, the crawl space remained dry, and the homeowner no longer faced recurring water problems.
A Beaufort, SC homeowner contacted us about water issues in their crawl space. We installed CleanSpace Drainage Matting, a dimpled plastic material that creates a drainage space under the floor.
We installed the matting across the crawl space, allowing water to flow to a drainage system. This prevents pooling, protects the home from mold and wood rot, and improves air quality. The result? A drier, healthier crawl space.
