Before & After Photos

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!

This Ailey, GA homeowner contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair when she noticed multiple symptoms of foundation settlement around her home. She noticed drywall cracks in her interior walls, doors not opening and closing properly, and some floors buckling when she walked on them. She called Lowcountry Foundation Repair and scheduled an appointment with one of the inspectors. 

The inspector thoroughly took notes and pictures of the issues in her crawl space. He suggested she have SmartJacks installed, a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists.

After one day of installation, this homeowner had ten SmartJacks installed in her crawl space and successfully lifted her foundation. She was very happy with the results! 

This home in Ailey, GA was precariously supported by an assortment of different concrete blocks, bricks, and pieces of wood. The improper support left the floors of the home unlevel. Our team installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to relevel and stabilize the floor.

We repaired a customer's rotted floor joist by replacing it with new lumber and then installed our SmartJack system to lift and level the sagging floor caused by the damaged joist.

This homeowner in Rincon, GA had a problem with the floor in one area of the home. Water had damaged the joists beneath the subfloor, weakening it, and allowing the floor to sag. Before installing additional crawl space support pillars (SmartJacks), the subfloor needed to be replaced.

Lowcountry Foundation Repair first sent out the team to the house to replace the wood. After the woodworking was complete, the team installed SmartJacks to support the newly installed joists and subfloor.
