Before & After Photos

This home was experience in problem that many face in the Lowcountry- bouncy and sagging floors. As you can see from the before photo, the span between the wall and the center beam was so great that the wood has started to bow from the great amount of weight above and the severe lack of support below. Our team came in and installed a Powerbrace and Smartjack system to fortified the area for the life of the structure!

The owners of this Port Royal, SC apartment complex had issues with one of their 2-story apartment buildings sinking on one side up to 10 inches! Not being able to rent the apartments closest to the sinking area, causing a loss in income, they researched online and called the experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to come and look at their foundation issues.

A combination of slab piers, a below-ground galvanized steel solution installed through the garage floors and helical piers, steel piers screwed into the ground around the perimeter of the building, were used to raise the foundation back to level. The combined system is designed to potentially lift slabs and any non-load bearing partition walls that may have settled along with the slab. It did for these building owners, and their building was bought level again. Now the apartments can be rented again!

SmartJack support posts were installed to stabilize the crawl space because the existing support columns were inadequate. These posts provide additional structural support, prevent further settling or sagging, and ensure the stability and safety of the structure above.

This home in Holly Hill, SC had a cracked foundation causing sinking issues. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a solution and our inspector came out to do a free inspection and customized solution to fix the problem, recommending our piering system to lift and support the sinking foundation. After moving foward with that recommendation, the homeowner was very satisfied with the results.
