Cracked Kitchen Tile a Sign of Foundation Settlement in Savannah, GA

Laura G. of Savannah, GA had cracked tile in their kitchen floors and cracks appeared in the drywall in the hallway. Their house was going up on the market soon and they didn’t want the new owners to inherit their issues, or worse yet, lose money in the sale.

Laura searched online for flooring issue fixes but was overwhelmed with information. One night she was sitting at home and opened a pack of RSVP coupon cards that had come in the mail. One was a postcard for Lowcountry Foundation Repair. Laura picked up the phone and called the next morning for a free inspection. The inspector noted high moisture and microbial growth in the crawl space. The moisture was causing rotting wood and insulation to fall down. The inspector recommended galvanized steel SmartJacks to add additional support to her foundation under the subfloor, as well as additional PowerBrace supplemental beams to support, level and stabilize the home’s sagging subfloor. Laura agreed and the project was completed in just one day.
