The Crawl Space is so Dry

A prospective buyer of a home with our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, installed 3 years ago, called for a service visit to ensure the system is in good working order. He stated that the termite company inspected the house the other day and was impressed by our system. He also stated that "the crawl space is so dry even roaches won't want to live in it"!

What a great thing for a prospective home buyer to hear! Thumbs up to our Production Installation Team!

Robert Videon joins FCA Endurance Team in Haiti

Robert Videon and his son, Holden, joined the FCA(Fellowship of Christian Athletes)Endurance Team on a mission trip to Haiti in May. They are visiting an extension of Northwest Haiti Christian Mission in Mole, St. Nicholas. During the trip, they plan on bringing much needed shoes to the Haitian people. Many do not attend church, because of the lack of shoes. The team sized their feet, washed them, then gave over 100 people a pair of shoes. The team will also be setting up a water cistern to allow them to have fresh drinking water. But most importantly, they will be sharing Jesus and telling them the Good News of Christ!

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!

CASE STUDY: CleanSpace & SmartJacks

Project: The Averitt Foundation
Location: Statesboro, GA
Date: July 2010


Problem:
Built in 1965, this home belonged to the late Mr. George Averitt. He was a professor at Georgia Southern University and left the home to the university to be used in the name of academia. Behind all its beauty, the museum grade home was beginning to suffer from major moisture issues. The Averitt family consulted with Lowcountry Basement Systems for a solution to the mold that was cultivating throughout the house and the water that was stagnant in the crawl space and, at times, making its way into the house.

Solution:
Lowcountry Basement remedied the problem by installing a CleanSpace system consisting of 20 mil CleanSpace Liner, drainage matting, SmartSump Pump, SaniDry CSB and Mini dehumidifier. the vents were sealed and the rusty entrance panel was replaced with an EverLast door to keep the elements out of the crawl space. The sodden structural beams were fused with steel beams to create sturdy and level floors. Concrete blocks were replaced with SmartJacks to raise the home, bringing it back to its original elevation while sealing the cracks on the interior walls. Anabec Advanced Cleaning Solution and X-70 was applied to clean existing mold and hinder future growth, and provide the homeowner with a 20 year manufacturer warranty.

Results:
The home was isolated from the earth, moisture was under control and the relative humidity inside the crawl space was decreased, which eliminated the breeding ground for mold. The floor joists dried out, and the SmartJack system has given the home a strong foundation so it can safely be used for classrooms at any time.

Project Summary:

Certified Inspector: Robert Videon

BEFORE: Moldy, damaged HVAC duct
