A homeowner had a concern of their chimney separating from the home as a crack was very noticeable from the outside. A helical pier was installed on each side of the chimney to stabilize it from any further settlement.
Gary C. of Vidalia, GA called Lowcountry Foundation Repair with a problem. His floors felt weak and sagged in the living room. Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a SmartJack System to stabilize and lift the subfloor. The project took one day to complete.
This home in Augusta, GA had sloping floors that were very noticeable when walked on. After some research, they called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair and set up an appointment. Our team installed SmartJacks to relevel and stabilize the floor. There was also a moisture issue causing damage to the wood stability and mold, so a CleanSpace Encapsulation was installed to resolve that developing problem. Now the homeowner can feel the difference in the floor and feel confident in the health of their home.
Teresa N. of Lyons, GA purchased a home with a foundation problem. The floor was not level, it was slanted. Teresa called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to get a free quote.
We inspected the crawl space foundation and identified the problem. The main beam supporting the home was sagging. That’s why the floor was not level. We also noticed the corner of the foundation was sinking. To fix the home, a SmartJack System was installed as well as a Push Pier System.
SmartJacks are custom-cut to height, galvanized steel crawl space support columns. They are capable of supporting loads greater than 60,000 pounds. Those were installed in the crawl space. The Push Pier System was installed on the exterior of the foundation wall to stabilize and lift the footer of the home. The push piers were driven down to load bearing strata where the weight of the home could be transferred to prevent it from ever sinking again.
Cracks near a window raised concern for a homeowner who promptly engaged our team. Our expert inspector confirmed a settling corner of the home as the culprit. To address this, we recommended and seamlessly implemented the installation of piers, assuring the home's permanent stabilization in the affected areas. With a diligent approach, we resolved the issue, offering peace of mind to the homeowner and preserving the integrity of their Twin City residence.
