Before & After Photos

Sagging floors are not only uncomfortable to walk on, but they can be a sign of a foundation problem. The owners of this home in Woodbine, GA home changed their walking patterns in their home to avoid the floor issue, but after a few years they decided to called the experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to fix the issue.

Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed steel SmartJacks, capable of supporting up to 60,000-pounds each under the main beams to stabilize the foundation and transfer the weight from the sinking piers to the new adjustable steel piers. The subfloor was lifted, and the sagging floor problems went away!

This home had severe sagging floors that the homeowner was unable to walk on. Our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed SmartJacks to lift and support the sagging floors. Now the homeowner will have permanent support for the floors.

This home in Saint Marys, GA had an area of the floor that was unlevel in the home. The crawlspace was subjected to high moisture levels, weakening the wood foundation over time, and increasing the need for more support in areas between the existing piers. We were able to help this homeowner by first installing SmartJacks to support one area of concern. Although the homeowner didn't have the resources at the time to have a full encapsulation installed, we were still able to provide a customized partial solution to the homeowner including drainage matting, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and a waterproofing system to pump excess water away from the space. The homeowner plans to make the investment in getting a full encapsulation in the future, complete with the CleanSpace vapor barrier.

David J. of Savannah, GA had issues with a settled foundation. The master bedroom floor of his 108-year-old-house sagged in the middle. After six years of worry that his home would completely cave in David finally had enough of the sloping floor. He had seen one of Lowcountry Foundation Repair trucks driving around his neighborhood and called for a free inspection of his foundation.

The inspector recommend a galvanized steel SmartJack System be installed in the crawl space to effectively support the sagging beams and floor joists, and supplemental PowerBrace beams to stabilize the subfloors of the house. Each SmartJack can support loads over 60,000 pounds and can be adjusted over time. David agreed to have the work done and in one day his floors were level again. No more sagging. David was thrilled!
