Home Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

This home in Waynesboro, GA had cracks in the exterior brickwork, causing concern that the foundation may be settling. The homeowner contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection and custom quote. Our inspector confirmed that the foundation was settling and recommended our pier system to lift and stabilize the foundation as well as prevent further settling. The homeowner decided to move forward with the project and is pleased with the results.

An open dirt crawl space left unencapsulated can leave the foundation of the home open to moisture damage. Homes are supported with wooden beams, and leaving these supports exposed to a harsh environment with high humidity, they will weaken over time. Furthermore, an unsealed crawlspace can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and allergens, ruining the health and air quality of the home. Using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, a thick, moisture-resistant barrier, this crawl space has been transformed into a clean, dry, moisture-controlled space.

A concerned homeowner in Baxley, GA sought our expertise regarding uneven floors attributed to inadequate crawl space support. Our committed inspector conducted a thorough and complimentary assessment, meticulously gauging the support demands for the flooring. After a detailed evaluation, our team devised a personalized remedy, which involved installing both the SmartJack Support System and concentric piers.

The SmartJack Support System was strategically installed to bolster and stabilize the sagging floor, effectively addressing the unevenness. Additionally, our team expertly positioned concentric piers around the home's perimeter to provide comprehensive support and safeguard against foundation settlement. Through the combined installation of SmartJacks and concentric piers, we ensured a resilient and level foundation, delivering the homeowner a structurally sound environment for years to come.
