Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Damp, Humid Crawl Space Causing Sagging Floors Fixed in Macon, GA
Jesse S. of Macon, GA noticed sagging, sloped floors over the last year. He had lived in his home for 40 years but realized he had a problem as the floors felt different underneath his feet. His family changed their walking patterns to avoid the problem areas, but the problem caused aggravation and frustration for Jesse and those in the house. Jesse looked in his crawl space to see if he could find the problem and saw wood rot and mold. He called the experts at Lowcountry Basement Systems to take a look and tell him the full extent of the problem.An inspector from Lowcountry Basement Systems performed a thorough evaluation of Jesse’s home on the inside and in the crawl space as well. The inspector noted significant wood rot and mold, as Jesse had seen, as well as unsupported sections of subfloor as some of the beams and joists had become brittle and damaged due to the high humidity and moisture in the crawl space. The inspector recommended a custom solution of SmartJacks to support the areas of the subfloor that were damaged, and a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to reduce moisture and remove excess humidity.
