This Vidalia, GA homeowner became concerned about her home's foundation when she noticed a musty smell in her home. When she looked in her crawl space she noticed that there was a lot of moisture on the wood joists allowing microbial growth to start appearing. She did some research online on how to prevent microbial growth and rot in crawl spaces and came across Lowcountry Foundation Repair. She immediately called and scheduled an appointment with an inspector.
We sent an inspector to Vidalia to inspect the crawl space. He could immediately tell that the crawl space needed to be sealed off from the outside to prevent further moisture and microbial growth. He suggested having CleanSpace installed, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. He also suggested having the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to maintain the humidity that is causing the moisture on the wood joists.
After just two days of installation, this homeowner's crawl space was sealed with CleanSpace. The homeowner no longer noticed a musty smell in her home, she was very happy!
A homeowner in Midville, GA, troubled by water seepage and broken supports in the crawl space, sought assistance from our team at Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair. Our inspector, after a detailed investigation, crafted a comprehensive solution tailored to the home's needs. Understanding budget constraints, the homeowner opted for a phased approach, choosing to prioritize stability by having the SmartJack Support System and drainage matting installed. This strategic step laid the foundation for future encapsulation, providing immediate support while preparing for a comprehensive solution.
This crawlspace had falling debris and moisture issues. After doing some research, the homeowner called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair and our team installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System complete with a dehumidifier and sump pump. SmartJacks were also installed in an area where the floor was sloping to stabilize it and help relevel the floor. Now the crawlspace is supported, dry, and the hanging moldy insulation is removed.

Rodger M. of Waynesboro, GA just purchased this home. Prior this house, he had a crawl space encapsulation installed under his other house. Rodger already knew the damage that moisture can cause to the structure of a home so when he found out that this house did not have the crawl space encapsulated, he called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to do the work.
