This homeowner was noticing cracks appearing in the brick walls of his Vidalia, GA home. This was causing the homeowner to worry about the aesthetics of his home. He didn’t want the problem to get worse, or for his neighbors to notice. The homeowner saw an ad on WTOC-TV and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help.
Galvanized steel SmartJacks, capable of supporting loads up to 60,000 pounds, were first installed in the crawl space to support the main beam and lift the weakened subfloor, then a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed to seal the crawl space to prevent moisture from returning and weakening the subfloor again. The cracks closed and the homeowner was thrilled!

An open dirt crawl space can cause a whole host of problems if left untreated. Many homes are supported with wooden beams in the crawl space, but these supports are exposed to so much environmental moisture they could become weak, starting to warp and rot from moisture concentration. An unsealed crawl space can invite mold and mildew in, as well as leave the home above uncomfortable -triggering indoor allergen problems. It can also leave the floors feeling spongy or unlevel to walk on. Using a CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, a thick, moisture-resistant barrier, we've sealed this crawl space off from the potential dangers of an unfinished crawl space.
This home in Vidalia, GA was experiencing moisture issues along with mold growth in the crawl space. Our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a vapor barrier system to regulate moisture content.
