As seen in the before picture, the floor joist had been improperly installed with a large chunk of wood missing and no end supports which only leads to ultimate failure of the joist. We installed a new joist that is properly supported with joist hangers and anchors.
An exterior discharge line is a pipe that directs water from a sump pump or other drainage system away from the home to prevent water accumulation and potential flooding. Attaching a LawnScape Outlet at the end of the discharge line serves as a protective and aesthetic outlet for the water. Its purpose is to safely disperse water into the yard while preventing debris from clogging the line and maintaining a neat appearance.
A homeowner contacted our office seeking a permanent solution to a water problem in their crawl space. Water seepage was causing multiple issues, and their existing sump system was not functioning effectively. We replaced it with our high-performance SmartSump Pump System, designed to handle water intrusion efficiently. The SmartSump features a powerful pump, airtight lid, and built-in alarm to alert homeowners of potential issues. After installation, the crawl space remained dry, and the homeowner no longer faced recurring water problems.
The Aspen air purifier and Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier work together to keep the air in this customers home clean and comfortable. The air purifier removes dust, allergens, and other pollutants, making the air healthier to breathe. Meanwhile, the dehumidifier controls moisture levels, preventing mold and mildew from growing. This means they can now enjoy fresher, cleaner air and a more comfortable living space, free from musty odors and potential allergens.
This Hilton Head Island, SC homeowner contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair to receive a free estimate on some flood vents for his crawl space. His home is close to the coast, and he wants to make sure his foundation can survive flooding stormwater. He scheduled an appointment with one of our trusted inspectors.
Our inspector, Brian Hunter, suggested that he install Smart Vents around the outside of his crawl space. Smart Vents are engineered flood vents that protect houses and buildings during floods by preventing water pressure buildup that can destroy walls and foundations.
After one day of installation, the Smart Vents were installed and the homeowner was very happy with the outcome!
