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

Wet Crawl Space and Sagging Floors

This vented dirt crawl space had water pooling in the crawl space. All that moisture led to mold, wood rot, odors and structural decay. The concrete piers were also cracked, causing unstable floor support. We installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, completly isolating the ground from the earth. A sump pump and drainage were installed to control the water intrusion, along with a dehumidifier to control the humidity. SmartJacks were also installed to replace the cracked concrete piers. The crawl space is now dry, and the floor is back to level and stable again!

BEFORE: Wet crawl space with structural decay, sagging floor joists and cracked piers


AFTER: CleanSpace Encapsulation System and SmartJack Stabilizers installed.


Another wet, nasty crawl space made healthy with the CleanSpace System!
