Rock n Roll Marathon, Savannah

Robert Videon, owner of Lowcountry Basement, and Jason Simmons, Production Assistant participated in Savannah's first Rock n Roll marathon. This was a grueling 26.2 miles through the streets of beautiful Savannah, but the team pushed forward and completed the race!

Nancy Videon, co-owner of Lowcountry Basement, volunteered as co-captain of the final water station on the course. She helped organize and motivate a team of about 45 volunteers to set up and maintain the water station, which consisted of about 64,000 cups. It was non-stop work for 9 hours, but was loads of fun to encourage each runner as they neared the finish line.

Does Your Home Need Flood Vents?

Is your home located in a designated flood zone? Is your insurance company informing you that your annual rate will increase by $1,000 - $2,000 per year! Yikes!

A recent customer discovered, after purchasing a new home in Southbridge, that her homeowner's insurance would increase by over $1000 a year since the home is located in a flood zone. The home is on a crawl space and does not have flood vents installed. The customer rushed out to Lowe's to find a solution and was then referred to Lowcountry Basement Systems to help solve the issue.

To help the home meet FEMA requirements, our crew installed insulated hydrostatic flood vents, every 200 feet around the perimeter of the home in the crawl space area. The vents, available in either stainless steel or a powder-coat white, automatically release with rising water to unlock the bi-directional flood door. The vents are ideal for encapsulated crawl spaces to keep out air and unwanted pests, but allow for the flow of water in the case of a flood. Installing flood vents will maintain the aesthetics of your home and save you money on your insurance as well!

Basement Flooring in Tybee Island

Ok, you're probably saying..."We don't have basements in Georgia!". We'll actually, we do! They may not be your typical northern style underground basement, but more of a tall, raised crawl space area that has been enclosed into a liveable space. These Georgia basements are still prone to water intrusion and moisture issues, just like any other below grade area.

The ThermalDry Basement Floor Systems are interlocking floor tiles that are made specifically for the basement environment. Created from 100% waterproof materials, they come in five carpeted and vinyl designs. Installed as a floating floor with no adhesives or grout, ThermalDry Floor Tiles will never buckle or peel off of the floor. A typical installation takes 1-2 days to complete. Your floor can be used immediately after installation.

So what's in YOUR crawl space?


This may not be an unusual sight to our CleanSpace installers, but the homeowner was a bit suprised to find a commode in her crawl space. The previous owners had renovated the bathroom, and must have just dropped the commode through the floor into the crawl space to dispose of it. Nice!
