Whiteville, NC Reliable Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair & more

20-year homeowner Morris was searching on Google for a company that could fix the problems he was having under his home. His crawlspace leaked frequently, his floors were sagging and soft, and he was concerned about the air quality as his wife had allergies. After receiving multiple confusing quotes from another company, he decided to give Southeast Foundation & Crawlspace Repair a call.

We quickly sent our design specialist Kevin to conduct an inspection of Morris’s crawlspace for free and answered any questions he had. Kevin reported many issues with Morris’s crawlspace that could cause costly damage to his home. The digital temperature humidity meters displayed Morris’s crawlspace at a relative humidity of 82.5%. The relative humidity needs to be below 50% or mold will grow. The moisture meter measured the moisture in the wood at 18.6%. Moisture levels above 14–16% are generally considered bad for indoor wood and structural framing, as they absorb water, increasing the risk of mold, decay, and swelling.

Kevin explained to Morris that when wood beams are rotting due to moisture, they become unstable or lose the ability to hold the house together.  This often leads to sagging floors, cracked walls, or in some cases, structural collapse. Kevin offered the most practical and affordable solutions to help Morris fix these issues.

Morris chose to fully encapsulate his crawlspace to stop the moisture the wood was absorbing. He also wanted woodwork to fix the sagging floors and stabilize his foundation.

 On April 15, 2026, Southeast Foundation & Crawlspace Repair installed sister joists, a full beam replacement for the foundation, and a full crawlspace encapsulation system with a Triple Safe Sump Pump.

The Crawlspace Encapsulation completely seals off the space from outside air, as well as conditions and humidifies the air to prevent moisture.

The Triple Safe is a Triple protection sump pump system used to stop water from seeping into the crawlspace. Inside, there is a primary Zoeller M53 cast iron pump, secondary Zoeller M98 cast iron pump, and an Ultra Sump automatic battery backup pump which can pump 12,000 gallons of water. The Triple Safe protects from overwhelming water levels or power failure.  It collects groundwater that accumulates around a home's foundation and pumps it away from the house through a discharge pipe. The discharge pipe extends 15 feet away from the house exterior and is buried 4 inches deep.

Also, we installed an Ice Guard system that allows water to escape from a discharge pipe if the exterior pipe freezes or blocks. We provided a Silver Glow expanded poly-styrene foam insulation liner around the walls of the crawlspace, as well as a custom-made crawlspace door.

We are so happy to have eliminated Morris’s worries about damage to his home. He was overall happy with our service and left us an awesome review.

“We never knew how bad our crawlspace was until we got an evaluation, but we are sure glad we did. From start to finish, everyone we talked to and had been involved with were very communicative about everything we had to have done, and they were all a pleasure to work with. The guys finished the project in a reasonable amount of time, and we are very happy and pleased with the work they’ve done. Our floor is leveled now, and our crawlspace looks great now. We would recommend these guys to anyone who needs their services.”
