Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Charleston, SC contacted our team at Lowcountry Foundation Repair after the crawl space flooded during hurricane Ian. After a thorough inspection of the crawl space by one of our system design specialists, our team installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System customized to the needs of the home. An encapsulation can act as a barrier to reduce humidity, but our system also has measures to aid the drainage of water, then it pumps that water out and away from the crawl space. This solution will help pump out water that enters during heavy rain or an event like hurricane Ian.

When looking for a permanent solution to keep this crawl space dry all the time, our team of crawl space repair experts decided that installing our SmartSump Pump Crawl Space Drainage System was the most effective option. 

This home in Charleston, SC had a moisture issue in the crawlspace that was starting to have an effect on the integrity of the foundation. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a solution and our inspector came out for a free inspection. Our inspector talked with the homeowner about the solutions we provide and settled on having a sump pump installed to pull water out and away from the foundation, drainage matting installed to help water drain to the pump or away from the foundation, and SmartJacks to adress the foundation issue with the floors being uneven and not properly supported. Pictured is an old DIY sump pump that didn't work long term, and the after picture, showing the new sump pump and drainage matting.
