Chatham County, GA Foundation Repair & Crawl Space Waterproofing

Paul had concerns about leaks and water intrusion in his Savannah, GA home. The water was coming in through the walls during heavy rains. Concerned about future flooding of his crawl space and possible water damage to his home, it was time to fix the problem. Lowcountry Basement Systems came out and offered Paul a permanent solution.

The waterproofing system included the installation of CleanSpace liner, a 20 mil reinforced vapor barrier, regrading of the crawl space to assist in proper drainage, and a SmartDrain to alert the homeowner of any future plumbing leaks or water intrusions. Our team also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to control the humidity and moisture in the crawl space, and an EverLast door to help seal out the humid outside air.

Paul can now rest assured that his crawl space is protected and will remain dry!

During replacement of their HVAC ducts, a homeowner in Savannah, GA discovered extreme moisture issues in the crawl space that was causing wood rot, sub-floor damage and a sinking floor. Some of the beams were black with tufts of white mold growing and the wood was like a sponge. The homeowner previously had their HVAC company install a vapor barrier, but they were still experiencing moisture problems. 

Our team regraded the crawl space, installed drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, SilverGlo wall insulation. They also installed a SmartSump to address any future water intrusion and a SaniDry dehumidifier to control the humidity and moisture in the crawl space.

The homeowner can now rest easy that the moisture issues are resolved and won't worry about subfloor damage due to water and humidity in the crawl space. 

For far too long, Betty R. of Savannah, GA had been suffering from nasty, musty odors in her home caused by mold growing in her crawl space. The aromas were so pungent that Betty purchased three dehumidifiers for her first floor to combat the hostile mold problem. The equipment ran all hours of the day with no avail. Betty continued to suffer from to the stinky smells, and her health began to suffer.

The dehumidifiers removed moisture from the air. However, they were not able to address the cause of her problems, the mold and moisture in her crawl space. Betty heard of Lowcountry Basement Systems from her neighbor who had similar problems until we fixed them, but it took Betty a little over a year to call to us.

Why?

She assumed that her problem would cost just as much as her neighbors, so she scrimped and saved for a year. When our inspector went to her house, Betty was ready with check-in-hand, but she was surprised to find out that the solution to her mold problem wouldn’t cost as much as her neighbors’. Her crawl space was 40 percent smaller. Consequently, she would not need as much labor as her neighbor, bringing down the quoted price.

Betty's problem was solved when we installed a complete encapsulation system in her crawl space. She had the entire area covered with Cleanspace liner. SilverGlo paneling was installed along the crawl space walls; a Sani Dry dehumidifier collected moisture in the air, then pumped it out from under the home. A sump pump was also installed to remove standing water.

When she found out that she could have called a year ago and financed the project, she felt like kicking herself for not calling us sooner. 

One early morning, Pamela S. of Port Wentworth, GA woke up and went about her daily routine. Much to her surprise, as she was sipping on her coffee, she noticed cracks in along her doors. Pamela started researching the problem and discovered that she had a foundation issue. She called Lowcountry Basement Systems right away.

John, System Design Specialist, went to Pamela’s home in Port Wentworth to look at the problem. He provided her with photos of the issues and explained to her what had happened seemingly overnight. John recommended that she have her house stabilized to prevent further issues. Additionally, it would provide an opportunity to lift the foundation that had settled.

Installation of the five Push Piers was completed in one day. Pamela’s house raised and the gaps between the cracks were closed. Pamela was elated!

Lloye, W. of Pooler, Ga noticed the floor around his fireplace was not level with the rest of his living room floor – it was sinking. The weight of his newly added hearth was too much for the subfloor to bear and the joists started cracking.

Lloye called foundation repair experts, Lowcountry Basements, and asked to have an inspector come to his house. Brian Townsel, System Design Specialist, inspected the home, inside and out. Brian recommended adding support to the subfloor with the PowerBrace™ System and Smart Jacks to support the steel beams.

The Lowcountry Basement Systems team installed 12 Smart Jacks and 60 ft. of PowerBrace™ under Lloye’s home to support his subfloor. The project was completed in two days with all the debris removed. Lloye was able to keep his floor and his fireplace. 

Allen H. of Savannah was making lunch in his kitchen one day when he noticed his floors had started to sag. He immediately became concerned and didn’t want the problem to get worse. Allen and his wife went online to research the issue and found Lowcountry Basement Systems, foundation repair specialist.

Allen called Lowcountry Basement Systems and scheduled a free inspection. Rob Videon, Owner, and System Design Specialist, inspected the home, inside and out. Rob recommended adding additional support to the weaken joist below, using PowerBrace™ and Smart Jacks.

The project went quickly, only taking two days to complete. Both Allen and his wife were happy with the outcome and didn’t have to worry about their floors anymore. Two months later Allen recommended Lowcountry Basement Systems to his friend.

Sereen S. of Savannah, GA had a problem with his foundation. His drywall developed a long crack, and his hardwood floors were sinking in some places. Beneath his feet, the subfloor was experiencing many problems.

After researching the problems online, Sereen found Lowcountry Basement Systems and made an appointment for an inspector to go to his house. Billy Brandenburg went to Sereen’s house and documented his findings. Billy saw the floors sagging in the crawl space; he also noted the cracked and failing joist that were no longer supporting the subfloor.

Sereen’s foundation needed additional support, explained Billy. The floor was sinking, and the sinking action caused the walls to pull apart, cracking the drywall. Billy showed Sereen the photos he took in the crawl space. Billy designed a custom long-term foundation solution Sereen’s home. After it was installed Sereen noticed a difference right away. Three support posts, SmartJacks, and two PowerBraces were installed to provide the house with the support it needed. Lowcountry Basement Systems also installed new joists to replace the broken ones.

Terry R. of Savannah, GA had a problem with his floor. In the past, Terry worked with a different company to add support beneath his subfloor. After a little bit of time, Terry experienced the same problems as before, so he called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection to evaluate what may be happening.

Terry told the Lowcountry Foundation Repair inspector that he wanted to fix the problem permanently. Terry worried that it would be too difficult to install the work, as the crawl space was very short and there wouldn’t be much room to do the work. The crawlspace was at least 16 inches tall, making it difficult, but still possible to install the work under the home.

The inspector identified two main locations where SmartJacks could be installed to solve the problem. The Lowcountry Foundation Repair team was able to squeeze in the tight crawl space and install the support. Terry has thrilled with the results and the professionalism of the team! 

Catherine S. of Savannah, GA was a previous customer of Lowcountry Basement Systems in 2014 when she needed a water damaged floor joist replaced and lifted to prevent her dining room from collapsing. She was so happy with the results the first time that she contacted us again for another project!

Catherine wanted her previous inspector, Brian, to come look at her crawl space again for additional SmartJacks, which are used as a column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

We stabilized Catherine’s foundation with eight SmartJacks, and she was once again thrilled with the results! 

Norman R. of Savannah, GA was a previous customer of Lowcountry Basement Systems in both 2013 and 2014. He previously had work done on his foundation to fix his sagging floors, and decided that he would also like to encapsulate the crawl space. He called us again to schedule an appointment for an estimate on his crawl space.

We encapsulated Norman’s crawl space with our 20-mil thick CleanSpace liner, which isolates the home from the earth completely and reduces humidity levels. We also installed a dehumidifier called SaniDry CX to maintain proper relative humidity in the crawl space. After the project was complete, the homeowner no longer had to worry about flooding or rotting floor joists in his crawl space. He was thrilled with the outcome! 

Tommy H. of Savannah, GA owns a 116-year-old home, and was concerned about the longevity of its foundation. After seeing our ad on television and doing some online research, he decided to call Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule a free inspection. 

Our inspector went to Tommy's home and thoroughly looked in his crawl space. He took pictures of the floor joists and wrote down important notes to show the homeowner. He suggested that Tommy's foundation needed three SmartJacks with steel beams assembled to lift his foundation. Our SmartJacks are used as a column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

After three days of installation, Tommy's historic home was now safe from foundation settlement. He was thrilled!

Susan C. of Savannah, GA almost tripped over her driveway one afternoon. She quickly became concerned about the long crack in her driveway and didn’t want any of her guests to fall. She had heard about Lowcountry Basement Systems concrete lifting and leveling services from a friend and gave us a call.

Brian Hunter, one of our inspectors went to Susan’s home and looked at her driveway. It was installed in 1984, had a long crack through it and was resurfaced a few years ago. Brian recommended lifting the concrete with PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula. Small holes were drilled into the concrete where PolyLevel was then injected beneath the slab. Within seconds the concrete was lifted back into place.

Susan was thrilled with the results! She parked her car on her driveway 15 minutes after the project was complete! 

Guy W. of Warner Robins, GA had a brick front porch that was a mess! Guy and his wife were embarrassed to have any family or friends over because it was a safety hazard for anyone to even get to the front door. He knew that the front of his home was settling because his porch was separating away from his house and the slab had dropped about an inch. He thought there was no solution to these problems until he called Lowcountry Basement Systems. He scheduled a free appointment with one of our trusted inspectors to receive an estimate on his porch. 

Our inspector, Brian Hunter, suggested that Guy have PolyLevel installed to attempt to lift the slab and to push the porch back towards the home. PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane, was injected through a dime-sized hole in the concrete. It then expanded beneath the concrete slab to lift it back to its desired height.

This project only took one day to complete, and the homeowner was absolutely thrilled. His porch is no longer a mess, and he was eager to invite some friends and family over for dinner! 

Theresa G. of Savannah, GA was flipping through the Savannah Home Magazine when she came across a picture that looked just like her home. Theresa’s home was built in 1930 and there were cracks in one of her walls, just like the cracks in the picture. She picked up the phone and called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help.

Brian Townsel, one of our inspectors, went to Theresa’s home and suggested installing three SmartJacks and a PowerBrace. Brian noted a long stretch of joists in the crawl space that were sagging, causing walls to sink and drywall to crack. The SmartJacks would lift and support the galvanized PowerBrace under the sagging joists, lifting them up to support the home.

Theresa went forward with the project. It took one day to complete and she was thrilled with the results! 

Tim C. of Savannah, GA started noticing damp smells in his home. He knew where it was coming from and he didn’t like it. Tim went online and searched for a company that deals with waterproofing issues in crawl spaces. After giving Lowcountry Basement Systems a call, Tim felt better knowing the experts would come look at his home.

During the inspection of Tim’s home, the inspector from Lowcountry Basement Systems asked Tim about the recent hurricane. Tim said the crawl space had received between three and four inches of water. Brian Townsel, the inspector explained what water can do to a structure of a home and he recommended encapsulating the crawl space.

The complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System, suggested by Brian would prevent and remove moisture from the crawl space. This would remove the odor from the home, prevent sagging floors, prevent wood rot under the home and protect Tim’s investment.

Tim decided to move forward with the project. It took three days to complete, but after a week Tim noticed a big difference in the comfort level of his home. 

Spencer E. of Savannah, GA contacted Lowcountry Basement Systems after he became worried his home might flood from the approaching hurricane. Spencer was concerned about the abundant rainfall and high tides, he didn't want his home to be washed away or damaged by a flood. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems' inspector, Brian Hunter, went to Spencer's home and reviewed his flood insurance declaration and elevation certificate. After an inspection of the home, Brian suggested that Spencer have Smart Vents installed on his garage door.

Brian explained the vents would allow water to enter the garage after the flood waters reached four inches. The Smart Vent design allows water pressure to be equalized on both sides of the foundation wall (so water must be on the inside too), protecting his foundation. Smart Vents are the most advanced protection on the market and are ICC-ES certified that protect houses and buildings during floods by preventing water pressure buildup that can destroy walls and foundations. 

In one day, the Smart Vents were installed and Spencer's home was protected. Spencer said he felt a lot better with the hurricane approaching. 

Marianne B. of Savannah, GA became worried about her foundation after noticing her hardwood floors were very cold to walk on and were sagging in specific spots. When she looked in her crawl space she noticed that the subfloor insulation was falling. The entire crawl space was a mess! She did some research online and came across Lowcountry Basement Systems' website. She was very impressed with the numerous customer video testimonials and five-star reviews, so she called and made a free appointment for herself. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Dustin Farthing to Marianne's home to inspect the crawl space and find a solution for her chilly floors. He suggested encapsulating the crawl space with our Complete CleanSpace System. The encapsulation system consists of the CleanSpace moisture barrier, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and a sump pump to evacuate any water in the crawl space. CleanSpace is a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels. The SaniDry Sedona is a dehumidifier that maintains the proper humidity level in the crawl space to prevent moisture and microbial growth.

After a few days of installation, Marianne's home was completely encapsulated. She was so happy that she no longer had to constantly wear socks around her house to keep her feet warm. She was thrilled with the results! 

Natasha B.'s home in Pooler, GA sustained the heavy rain and winds from Hurricane Irma in the fall of 2017. Luckily, Natasha's home survived the storm, but the water eroded much of the soil beneath the foundation. Consequently, the foundation sunk.

Shortly after Irma, Natasha noticed a crack in her slab foundation. Inside the home, she noticed her doors were not shutting properly. She decided to research the problems she was experiencing and came across Lowcountry Basement Systems' website. She was very impressed by the multiple before and after photos, as well as numerous five-star reviews, so she called and scheduled a free appointment with an inspector.

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Dan Friesen to Natasha's house to inspect the foundation. Dan noticed that the foundation was in need of additional support, so he suggested having Push Piers installed. Push Piers stabilize your home’s foundation and in many cases can lift your home back in place.

Lastly, he spotted some cracks in the drywall of his home, a very common sign of foundation settlement. He felt as if his house was crumbling beneath him, so he asked his neighbors for some advice who previously had some foundation work done. They told him to call Lowcountry Basement Systems and schedule an appointment with an inspector. Greg called the very next day!

As soon as he had an opportunity, he called and scheduled an appointment to receive a free estimate. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Dustin Farthing to inspect the crawl space. Dustin took notes and pictures of the crawl space to report back to Brett. After explaining the issues, Dustin suggested the best solutions for Brett's crawl space. He suggested installing CleanSpace, a seven-layer reinforced polyethylene that isolates the home from the earth and reduces humidity levels.

She also noticed that her home seemed very un-level, and was sinking towards the back end of the home. She realized there was a huge problem, so she called Lowcountry Basement Systems to schedule a free appointment with an inspector. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Dan Friesen to Pooler to inspect the foundation. He noticed the common signs of foundation settlement, cracks in the foundation, sticking doors and windows, and unlevel floors. He suggested that Push Piers be installed to level and support the home. Push Piers stabilize your home’s foundation and in many cases can lift your home back to level. Steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket to bedrock or a stable soil level. Then, the weight of your home is transferred through the piers to the competent soil below, and a lift can be attempted to bring the home back to its original position.

After three days of installation, Natasha noticed the symptoms of settlement were gone. She was very thankful that Lowcountry Basement Systems was able to return her home to the way it was supposed to be.

Arthur B. of Savannah, GA had a problem with his driveway. One corner of the slab was sinking and Arthur worried the 10 by 15 foot area would crack. Arthur researched mudjacking a concrete lifting technique that turns a mixture of sand, water, and cement into a slurry of sorts which is then forced beneath the concrete fill voids. Arthur didn’t like the mess or the complications for this type of procedure, so he looked for something better, seeing and ad in the Savannah Morning News for PolyLevel, a two-part, expanding polymer foam that is injected beneath concrete to lift the slab. Lowcountry Basement Systems is the area’s PolyLevel expert and Arthur booked an appointment to have his slab fixed.

In less that one day the problem was fixed! PolyLevel was injected through very small dime-sized holes drilled into the concrete where it filled the void, and lifted the slab to its original height.

However, after thinking about it, he worried that ripping up the concrete would create landscaping problems on his nice green grass. Michael didn't want to choose one over the other, so he called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help and asked if something could be done to save his porch without destroying his yard.

Lowcountry Basement Systems used PolyLevel to lift the sinking areas of concrete, then sealed the cracks with a concrete joint sealant to prevent erosion under the slab.

Steve A. of Savannah, GA owned an older home, it was about 90-years-old. The crawl space had never been encapsulated and the moisture eventually rotted the joists and subfloor. One day, Steve had a HVAC company do routine maintenance and peak in the crawl space. The technician recommended that Steve call Lowcountry Basement Systems for a professional review.

Lowcountry Basements inspected the crawl space and recommended that the subfloor and joists under one-third of the home be replaced. The subfloor could not be saved. If things got worse, Steve feared he might put a hole through the floor.

Lowcountry Basement Systems removed the flooring, replaced the mold-covered joists and rotted subfloor. Then a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed to remove water from the foundation and prevent moisture from entering the crawl space - preventing mold and wood rot from being an issue later.

John C. of Savannah, GA called Lowcountry Basement Systems and asked to have an inspector look at his crawl space. John was concerned after he noticed standing water under his home. Mold, wood rot raced through his mind once he saw the water. 

Lowcountry Basement Systems photographed the standing water, the falling insulation and noted where the water was wicking up the foundation walls. It was recommended to encapsulate the crawl space with a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The system would be comprised of a few different parts: Drainage matting to keep the water down and protect the Clean Space liner that would seal the floor, foundation walls and crawl space pillars. The crawl space vents would be sealed. A new crawl space door would replace the old leaky door. A sump pump and dehumidifier were also installed. 

The system was designed to remove moisture and reduce humidity, preventing the mold and wood rot that John feared. It took the Lowcountry Basement Systems team a couple of days to do the job. After it was done, John was thrilled to know his home was protected from moisture issues!
