Before & After Photos

This 60-plus-year-old home had settling walls and cracks appearing on the exterior bricks of the home. The owner called us at Lowcountry and our team installed a pier system to level the walls back into a level position.

Excessive moisture in a crawl space can weaken the wooden floor joists and subflooring, causing them to sag over time. Our SmartJack support system was installed to address this issue by providing additional support to lift and level the sagging floors. The SmartJack system consists of adjustable steel posts that are placed beneath the beams, providing a stable and secure foundation. This system not only corrects the sagging but also prevents future issues by stabilizing the structure. Benefits of the SmartJack system include improved floor stability, enhanced structural integrity, and increased home value.

On Johns Island, SC, we encountered a twisted tale of sinking and bouncy floors affecting a homeowner’s peace of mind. As you can see in the before photo, the instability cast a shadow. In the after photo, sunshine of stability returned with our SmartJack and PowerBrace solutions. By bolstering the beams with precision, we brought the floors back toward their original position, reclaiming that solid ground feeling. Our work reflects the assurance and commitment to giving homes the steadfast support they deserve, transforming spaces with care and skill.

This Goose Island, SC homeowner was concerned about his foundation when he noticed stair-step cracks in the brick on the exterior of his home. He called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to have his foundation inspected.

We fixed his foundation problems with our SmartJacks, which are used as a column support that lifts sagging floor joists. The SmartJacks are installed underneath the home in the crawl space to lift the area that is sagging. After two days of installation, the project was completed and the homeowner was thrilled with the result! 

This Goose Creek, SC homeowner became concerned about his crawl space when he noticed his floors were starting to sag in his downstairs bathroom. He contacted Lowcountry Foundation Repair to receive a free estimate on his crawl space and scheduled an appointment with one of our inspectors. 

Our inspector suggested he lift the sagging floors with our SmartJack system, a galvanized steel column support that lifts sagging floor joists. To replace the weak floor joists, we stabilized the foundation with our heavy-duty steel beams attached to our SmartJacks. 

After two days of installation, this homeowner no longer had to worry about sagging floors. The foundation was lifted and the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome!
