Lowcountry Foundation Repair Helps Bluffton, SC Homeowner with Humid Home

Glenn G. of Bluffton, SC had a problem with humidity in his 5,600 sq. ft. home. He noticed musty, mold odors in parts of his home and his air conditioner was working overtime, trying to keep up with the demand for cool dry air. He researched the problem and found Lowcountry Foundation Repair.

After meeting with an inspector from Lowcountry Foundation Repair, Glenn decided to have his crawl space encapsulated to prevent moisture from entering his home and causing the mildew. It would also reduce the wear and tear on his air conditioning unit.

The inspector recommended the installation of a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent moisture from entering his home. CleanSpace Liner was installed to seal out moisture, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier collected moisture from the air and pumped it to a SmartDrain. The foundation walls were insulated with thermal foam board insulation. The vents were sealed with CleanSpace Vent Covers and the crawl space door was replaced with an EverLast CrawlSpace Door.

The project took seven days, and the effects were very noticeable right away. Glenn was thrilled!

Flood Insurance Inspires Installation of SmartVents in Beaufort, SC Crawl Space

George M. of Beaufort, SC was concerned about the condition of his home after Hurricane Matthew. He noticed extremely high levels of humidity that never seemed to go away.

Due to FEMA regulations, George was prohibited from sealing his crawl space vents, thereby preventing him from completely sealing off his crawl space. However, he was very interested in putting down a vapor barrier. He called Lowcountry Basement Systems because he knew it was going to be a difficult job, “that should be undertaken by professionals.”

Billy Brandenburg, one of Lowcountry Basement Systems’ inspectors, recommended sealing the earth off from the crawl space with Clean Space Linear. Billy also recommended an EverLast Crawl Space Door to seal the crawl space entrance. A SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed to remove the moisture from the air. Billy recommended installing 10 SmartVents around the crawl space to allow water pressure to equalize around the foundation in the event of another hurricane.

George was thrilled with the design and execution from the Lowcountry Basement Systems team!

Okatie, SC Home with Standing Water in Crawl Space

Ken K. of Okatie, SC received some disturbing news from his property manager. Ken was told that was standing water in his crawl space, directly under the center of his home. Ken was advised to call Lowcountry Basement Systems to help remove and protect his home from moisture.

Ken took the advice and scheduled a free inspection with Lowcountry Basement Systems. The standing water noticed by the pest control company was still there when Brian Townsel of Lowcountry Basement Systems showed up to do the inspection. Brian asked Ken if it was a common issue, or if he just recently noticed it. Ken said water tends to stay there after heavy rains.

Brian recommended Ken protect his house from the moisture. If the subfloor, joists, or main beams absorb water vapor, it would weaken the structure of the house, Brian explained. Ken took Brian’s advice and decided to prevent bigger and more expensive problems in the future by encapsulating his crawl space.

Crawl Space Makeover and Restoration in Beaufort, SC

Richard J. of Beaufort, SC contacted Lowcountry Basement Systems after Hurricane Irma flooded their crawl space in August of 2017. Before the hurricane, Richard was noticing moisture in the crawl space causing his floors to sag and potentially create mold growth.

Brian suggested that he encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. Since Richard's floors were sagging, Brian also suggested he have SmartJacks installed, a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

After a few days of hard work from the Lowcountry production team, Richard's crawl space had a complete makeover! The crawl space was now dry from the moisture, and the sagging floor joists were lifted with SmartJacks. Richard was thrilled with the outcome!

Crawlspace Encapsulation and SmartJack Supports in Saint Helena Island, SC

Martin in Saint Helena Island, SC was concerned when he noticed some cracks in the ceiling and walls, as well as some doors sticking. He called Lowcountry Foundation Repair and one of our inspectors came out to provide a free inspection and custom quote. Our inspector determined that the issues were caused by excess moisture in the crawlspace, which in turn weakened the support beams.

Our inspector recommended our SmartJack support system as a permanent solution to stabilize the floors. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel to prevent rusting and are adjustable so they will continue to offer support even if there is further foundation settlement in the future. In addition, our inspector recommended our CleanSpace Encapsulation System to protect the crawlspace from moisture and humidity. As part of our custom solution, the encapsulation included our CleanSpace liner, a sump pump to direct water out of the crawlspace and away from the house, and a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in the crawlspace.

Martin decided to move forward with the project and was very pleased with the results. Thanks to Lowcountry, his floors have been stabilized and his crawlspace has been transformed into a clean, dry, useable space

This home had a musty odor emanating from the crawlspace. The homeowner was concerned there may be mold growing in the crawlspace, so they called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a solution.

Vapor Barrier Placement in Okatie, SC

The owner of this home contacted us with concerns about their crawl space. They mentioned critters like to live under the house sometimes and there are musty moldy smells that get worse during more humid seasons. One of our inspectors came out to the property and did a thorough inspection of the foundation of the home. In the crawl space, the measured relative humidity level of the air was above 80%, a very high level. The relative humidity really should be kept at about 55% to prevent microbial growth, mold, and wood rot. With this in mind, our inspector recommended having the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed to seal off the harmful moisture levels, monitoring & controlling the relative humidity to around 55%. A decrease in humidity can make the crawlspace a less habitable space for critters. The homeowner decided to move forward with having the project done, and our team installed the encapsulation.

Encapsulation in Spring Island, SC

This home out on Spring Island had a severe moisture issue in the crawl space. The homeowner called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to stop the moisture issue completely. One of our system design specialists was sent out to the home to do a free inspection, investigating the crawl space thoroughly and crafting a custom-designed CleanSpace Encapsulation solution to solve the issues for good. One element of the customized encapsulation that was particularly unique was that the home had an open crawl space rather than a vented crawl space, so in addition, a product called Foamax was used to create an insulated wall barrier, closing the openings off from outside air leaks. Our production team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed the solution expertly alleviating the moisture and creating a conditioned, insulated space.

Crawl Space Moisture Elimination in St. Helena Island, SC

In St. Helena Island, SC, we successfully solved a homeowners crawl space moisture problem, which caused the floors above to rot and require replacement. Our team had to remove all wet and moldy debris from the space and fully encapsulate it. Encapsulation of the crawl space involves sealing all cracks and gaps in the foundation walls, floors, and rim joists, and installing a waterproof vapor barrier on the ground. This ensures that no moisture from the ground can penetrate the crawl space and cause any further damage. Additionally, a crawl space dehumidifier was installed to promote air circulation and remove any damp or humid air from the space.

Sunken Concrete Repair in Hilton Head Island, SC

A Hilton Head Island, SC homeowner contacted our office to help repair their sunken, cracked, and uneven concrete driveway. The most effective solution for repairing the driveway was to use our PolyLevel System.

First, small holes are drilled into the sunken concrete slab. Then, a specialized polyurethane foam called PolyLevel is injected through the holes. As the foam expands, it fills the voids underneath the slab and lifts it back to its original position. Finally, the holes are patched, leaving behind a level and stabilized concrete surface.

The installation process begins with excavating small areas around the foundation where the piers will be placed. Next, steel brackets are attached to the foundation’s footing, and hydraulic cylinders are used to drive the piers deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock.
