Ray A. of Bluffton, SC called Lowcountry Foundation Repair with a problem. A crack in his drywall appeared in the corner of his door frame. The crack stretched from the frame to the crown molding near the ceiling.
The subfloor was sinking under the home, cracking the drywall. Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a SmartJack System in the crawl space to provide proper support to the home. SmartJacks are custom-cut to-length crawl space support columns that can support 60,000 pounds each! Ray needed four SmartJacks to fix his foundation. The job took one day to complete and Ray was thrilled with the result!

A homeowner in Bluffton, SC had sloping floors in the home and contacted us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair with concerns about settling, creaking noises in the floor, and a slope in one area. They were already aware the issue was likely exacerbated by having a moisture issue in the crawl space, so they also had an interest in having the crawl space cleared out, waterproofed, and encapsulated. Our inspector did a thorough inspection of the crawl space, and was able to diagnose the issue, presenting a solution customized to the needs of the home. Our team then came out and installed the SmartJack Support System and the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to solve the crawl space issues.
This Bluffton, SC homeowner was experiencing sagging floors, a master bedroom door that would not close, and cracks in his drywall. He knew something must be wrong with his foundation, so he called Lowcountry Foundation Repair and scheduled a free appointment with one of our inspectors.
Our inspector, Brian Hunter, suggested that he attempt to lift his foundation back to its original position using our SmarJack, a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.
After just one day of installation, the home was level, doors were now opening properly, and the homeowner was thrilled!
