Foundation Support & Repair in the SC Lowcountry & Coastal Georgia
Not every uneven floor is a foundation failure — and not every foundation problem needs the same repair. We evaluate the structure first, then recommend only what the home actually needs.
Service Overview
What foundation work actually involves
Foundations in the Lowcountry deal with soft, wet soils and a water table that moves with the tide and the season. Over time, piers settle, beams sag and floors lose the support they were designed to have.
Our approach is diagnostic. We look at the floor system, the beams, the piers and the soil before recommending jacks, reinforcement or replacement — because the wrong repair can add cost without solving the cause.
- Structural support jacks
- Beam repair and reinforcement
- Floor support
- Structural stabilization
Common warning signs
- Floors that slope, bounce or feel soft underfoot
- Doors and windows that stick or no longer latch
- Cracks in drywall, especially at corners and above doors
- Gaps between baseboards and the floor
- A visible sag or bow in a support beam
- Cracked, shifted or sinking piers
Potential causes
These are the conditions we look for. More than one is usually present, which is why we assess before recommending.
- Soil settling or consolidating under footings
- Water softening and washing out support soils
- Undersized or undersupported beams and joists
- Rotted sills, beam ends or joist tails from long-term moisture
- Missing, spaced-out or improperly loaded piers
Our Evaluation
How we inspect before we recommend
An assessment is not a sales visit. We gather the information needed to give you a real answer.
- 01
Map the floor elevations to find the actual low points
- 02
Inspect joists, beams, sills, piers and footings directly
- 03
Check for moisture damage, insect damage and decay
- 04
Compare the existing framing against the span it carries
- 05
Separate structural movement from normal settling or framing deflection
