Covington, GA Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractors

In Porterdale, GA, a homeowner sought our expertise at Lowcountry Foundation and Crawl Space Repair to address their crawl space issues. They reported excess moisture and sinking floors, common indicators of a compromised foundation. Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an appointment for a thorough inspection.

Upon evaluation, our System Design Specialist determined the source of the problem: a vented, unsealed crawl space that permitted moisture intrusion, leading to weakened structural elements and humidity issues. Recognizing the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and increased energy bills, we suggested a comprehensive solution tailored to their needs.

To transform the crawl space, we installed our CleanSpace system, providing a clean, reliable encapsulation to control moisture levels. Essential to this process was our CleanSpace Drainage Matting, strategically placed to ensure water could be efficiently directed toward drainage systems and away from the home. To further protect from high humidity, we installed the SaniDry Sedona, a state-of-the-art dehumidifier designed to keep the area dry and healthy by maintaining optimal moisture levels.

For the structural integrity of the crawl space, we utilized the SmartJack system. This involved placing galvanized steel columns that reinforced weakened floor joists, restoring floors to their intended position and stability. Additionally, installing PowerBrace beams addressed concerns about any future foundation shifting.

Upon completion, our production team meticulously cleaned the site, leaving the homeowner with a restored and reinforced space. Their investment not only addressed immediate concerns but also offered a durable, long-lasting solution. With the job effectively rectifying the issue, the homeowner can now enjoy a structure secure from moisture and structural threats.
