Before & After Photos

Foundation piers are installed to stabilize and support this homeowner's foundation that has experienced settlement. Settlement occurs when the soil beneath the foundation shifts, compresses, or becomes unstable, leading to structural issues. Foundation piers transfer the weight of the structure to more stable soil layers or bedrock, preventing further settlement and potentially lifting the foundation back to its original position.

SmartJack support systems stabilize sinking floors by providing additional structural support. They are installed beneath the affected area to prevent further settling, redistribute the load, and, if necessary, lift the floor back to a level position. This helps maintain the integrity of the structure and prevents further damage.

The floors in the kitchen of this home felt "floaty" and bouncy. The owner called us at Lowcountry to help with their foundation issue. We identified all the areas of the floor that required support and suggested using our SmartJack Support Posts to lift and support the floor back into place, making it feel level and solid.

Norman H. of Macon, GA had sagging, bouncing floors, and drywall cracks near his door frames. After going underneath his house he realized he needed help and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free estimate after seeing an ad on Macon’s CBS 13.

The inspector noted wet, soggy insulation, and the piers supporting the foundation sunk into the soft soil due to the excess moisture in the crawl space. The cracks and sagging floors Norman experienced were a direct result of a sinking foundation. The inspector designed a custom solution to stabilize the foundation and encapsulate the crawl space to reduce moisture and humidity. SmartJacks were installed to support the joists and main beams in the crawl space which closed the gaps in the home’s drywall. A Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed to reduce moisture and remove excess humidity completed the project. Norman was thrilled!

Cliff R. of Warner Robins, GA didn’t feel comfortable cooking in his home. The floor in the kitchen was uneven and it felt soft beneath his feet, so Cliff didn’t cook that often. One day, Cliff decided he couldn’t live like this. He searched for foundation repair companies in the Warner Robins area and found Lowcountry Foundation Repair.

He inspected the home and recommended installing a SmartJack System to support the area under the kitchen. SmartJacks are capable of supporting over 60,000 pounds each, and they are made of galvanized steel so they won’t rust. Cliff chose to work with Lowcountry Foundation Repair was glad that he did. The work was done in two days and Cliff could finally cook in his kitchen without worrying he was going to fall through.
