Before & After Photos

David and Laurie M. bought their home in Laurens, SC because of its age. The home was built in the 1800s and they loved the idea of restoring it to its former glory. Getting started they did some painting and replacing wood on the inside. David knew there was the possibility that wood or other repairs would have to be done to the crawl space. Laurie had heard from her mother that Cantey Foundation Specialists did free no obligation inspections. They decided to call in and set an appointment. System Design Specialist Katherine Dillon arrived for the appointment and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Katherine found that there were several areas of wood that needed be replaced around the crawl space. She assured David and Laurie that Cantey could definitely replace their wood with no problems. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, and Production Team Member Nick Riddick came out and successfully replaced the damaged areas of wood. David and Laurie are now moving forward with different renovations and are thankful for the help Cantey provided on their journey to restoring this beautiful home.

Wood rot can happen for many reasons, such as, moisture in the crawl space under your home or leaks from foundation cracks and groundwater from above. Whatever the cause might be, it can lead to serious issues including mold on the walls and in the HVAC system, termites, critters and even worse, structural damages. The joists in this crawl space of this home in Augusta GA, had serious wood rot, which contained termites and mold. Cantey crew members replaced all the joists and beams, removing the mold and giving the homeowners peace of mind. 

This homeowner had constant issues with flooding after each rain fall and needed a permanent solution for basement waterproofing. Installed was the Cantey Water Guard Solution; Completed with a SmartSump pump system, and an extended discharge system through the garage (pictured above), along with a water guard inspection port. 

Garrett B. Called with problems about his floor bowing when he would walk over it. We came out and found that most of his main support beams were rotten and needed to be replaced. By replacing the joists, we were able to provide him the comfort of not falling through his floor in his space of peace. 

Clifford S. has lived in his Clover, SC home for 20 years and has decided it is time to sell. After his wife passed last year, he decided it would be best for him to be closer to his children and grandchildren. Before moving, he knew that the concrete wall in his driveway needed to be fixed. It had started to lean and crack which he knew would be the first concern potential buyers would have as they pulled up in the driveway. Clifford received an advertisement in the mail that showcased local companies and one of them was Cantey Foundation Specialists. He decided to call in to see if Cantey could help him find a solution. System Design Specialist Alex Lovette arrived for the scheduled appointment and assessed the situation. Alex found that the best solution would be Cantey's Geo-Lock Anchor system. These wall anchors would be installed on the interior of the wall then a steel rod would be placed through the wall. This rod would anchor the wall using the most competent soil underneath the surface. This anchor system would stabilize the wall and stop the leaning. Production Team Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member Francisco Lopez, and Production Team Member Oscar Mota came out and successfully installed the Geo-Lock Anchor system. Clifford is thankful to Cantey for helping him find a solution just in time for him to put his home on the market.
