Greg F. of Savannah, GA became concerned about his home's foundation when he started to notice multiple signs of settlement appearing around his home. His bathroom had signs of settlement, the floors were sagging and the tile was cracking. He also noticed other areas around his home where the floors just didn't seem right, they were unlevel and seemed too weak to walk on. 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! 

Lowcountry Basement Systems sent Dan Friesen to Greg's home to thoroughly inspect the crawl space. Dan took notes and pictures of all the problem areas to show to Greg so he could have a better understanding of the issue. Dan suggested that he have SmartJacks installed in his crawl space. A SmartJack is a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

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.

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.

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. 

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!

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!

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

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! 

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.

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.

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.
