Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in Greenville, SC

Located halfway between Atlanta, GA, and Charlotte, NC, Greenville is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US. For homeowners in Greenville, protecting their foundations is essential to enjoying the area they call home. Environmental factors, like the area’s soil which is a mix of rock and sandy clay, plus the 51 inches of rain they receive annually do a number on foundations. Clay soil expands when wet, adding pressure to foundation walls, while sandy soil is prone to washout causing your home to sink and settle. Homeowners need to be aware of problem signs of both hydrostatic pressure and a settling foundation. Look for bowing walls, cracked foundation walls, sticking doors and windows, and a tilting chimney. Luckily, our experts at Mount Valley have been repairing foundations in Greenville for more than 35 years and have developed proven solutions like piers, wall reinforcement, and beams.   

Greenville’s, humid subtropical climate and 51 inches of annual rainfall are to blame for your crawl space problem signs. Moisture is a crawl space’s enemy and the humid summers and precipitation year-round lead to water being absorbed through your crawl space floor. This leads to mold, condensation, musty odors, high humidity inside the crawl space, and high energy bills. Encapsulation, or sealing out moisture in all its forms, is the best way to create a dry, usable space. Depending on your home’s needs, a combination of drainage, a sump pump, a vapor barrier, and a dehumidifier may also be needed. A free estimate from an experienced MVFS inspector can let you know exactly what to expect.  

A wet basement may be common in Greenville, but it’s far from healthy. The area’s more than 50 inches of rain per year and mix of sandy and clay soil means a wet basement is almost inevitable. If you’re sick of drying out a leaky basement or looking to finish the basement and want to protect your investment, Mount Valley Foundation Services can help. Homeowners should look for water seepage, condensation, a musty smell, or mold that indicate a problem. Our trained professionals conduct a free and complete inspection to offer the best solution. From below-grade drainage to sump pumps, vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers, our repair solutions are tailored to your home’s unique needs.   

Cracked and sinking concrete driveway, sidewalk, or pool deck slabs are not only ugly to look at, but are a serious tripping hazard, especially for the elderly and young children. It’s important to get them fixed before the problem gets worse. At Mount Valley Foundation Services, we have the solution to restore your concrete to peak condition. Unlike older methods like mudjacking and replacement that don’t address the original cause, the soil failure beneath the slab, polyurethane injections stabilize the soil and lift slabs to a level position.
