Before & After Photos

Basement and crawl space flooding can be caused by a variety of reasons and can become very problematic. This crawl space in Columbia, SC, needed maintenance as it had leaking pipes and an old sump pump, which became clogged and started to overflow. When sump pumps stop working, they allow the water vapor to rise from the ground, providing the perfect conditions for mold and mildew to spread throughout the space, into the HVAC and ultimately through the vents of the house. Cantey Foundation Specialists has specifically designed a high-quality Sump Pump that sits deep into the ground and is covered by a perforated liner, containing a reliable pump and an alarm system that will alert you if water vapor is released. The alarm acts as a safety precaution so the homeowners will know if the air becomes compromised by mold and mildew. A proper discharge line is attached and is custom fit for each home to flow in a direction away from your home and keep your property clean and free of groundwater.

When Ted J. of Shaw AFB, SC was looking to put his family home on the market to sell, he knew he had to address the excessive standing water in his basement. A wet basement could hinder the sale of his home. Ted called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a FREE inspection and estimate for a complete water basement system. The Cantey Team were able to find the right solution for Ted and his family. 

Jackson M. and his wife Amy became homeowners in Central, SC soon after becoming newlyweds. Now they have a bundle of joy on the way, soon they will need a room for their little girl to call her own. Jackson like any new father is running around baby proofing the house and helping Amy decorate a beautiful nursery. While painting the nursery Jackson started to notice the sloping in the floor and worried that this could potentially be a hazard for his newborn. He heard an advertisement on the radio for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call to see how they could help. System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey came out to do an inspection and explained to Jackson there were several wood beams that needed to be replaced. They had begun to rot and were producing mold growth that would not be good for the nursery above. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and successfully replaced the beams with new wood. Jackson and Amy are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby girl and are confident she will have a safe nursery at home.

Amy S. has owned her own home in Central, SC for a few years now. As a single woman, she is proud to have her own home however she has not learned much about home improvement. Usually, if there is a problem she calls her father to come have a look at it and see what his opinion is. Her living room floor began to sink in one spot. After some time of ignoring the problem, she finally called her father and he told her she probably had rotting wood in her crawl space. He had heard of Cantey Foundation Specialists from a neighbor so Amy decided to call. She was set up for an inspection with System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey. Specialist Nathan did an inspection and concluded that Amy needed to get some of the beams replaced in her crawl space. Amy agreed that this needed to be done soon. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and successfully replaced the wood causing Amy problems. Amy is now no longer worried about her living room floor and plans to learn more about home improvement to do more projects in the future.
