Before & After Photos

This North Charleston, SC home had a basement wall bowing inward from the outside pressure of the soil and water. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to prevent the wall from collapsing. Upon inspection, the PowerBrace System was the best solution to stabilize the wall.

Before calling us, the homeowner noticed alarmingly buckling floors above the crawl space, a clear signal of an unstable foundation—a sight more common in North Charleston than one might hope. But there's no challenge too big for Lowcountry. We installed SmartJack support systems to secure and stabilize the area.

This 1960 brick ranch had damage to the sub-floor in the bathroom. Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed SmartJacks to support the floor joist and repaired the sub-floor.

Mike H. of Kathleen, GA had a problem a few years ago, his shower had a small leak. Over time, the subfloor rotted and became weak. Mike called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to help him repair his foundation.

Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a SmartJack System in Mike’s crawl space to support the subfloor under the shower. SmartJacks are capable of supporting 60,000 pounds each! The job took the team one day to complete.

Lisa S. of Kathleen, GA. had a problem with her foundation. Three of the foundation piers in her crawl space sank into the soil and no longer supported the joists or subfloor. Just a few weeks ago, she listed her home for sale, then she realized the problem would need to be fixed before selling or she ran the risk of losing money on the sale! Lisa went online and read reviews for Lowcountry Foundation Repair on HomeAdvisor. She called for a free inspection of her crawl space.

The inspection confirmed the sagging beams in the crawl space as they were no longer supported. Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a galvanized steel Push Pier System of tubes, hydraulically driven through steel foundation brackets to reach competent load-bearing strata. Once locked into place the weight of Lisa’s home was transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil below. Her foundation was supported again and ready for sale at full asking price!
