Before & After Photos

Junius S. has owned his home in Pickens, SC for over 20 years now. It has been a good home to himself and his family but he has decided to build a home. He and his wife want to down size now that they are empty nesters and they have always dreamed of building their own home. Before they leave though, Junius wants to make sure his home is a fresh start for the new family that will ultimately move into their home. The floor in the living room has always sloped slightly but has gotten worse over time. Junius decided he would find a company to fix the foundation so that was not a worry for the next family. His neighbor had foundation problems in the past and Cantey Foundation Specialists did an excellent job. Junius called into Cantey and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Katherine Dillon. When Katherine came out and did her inspection she found that what Junius needed to solve his foundation issues was Cantey's patented SmartJack system. Katherine further explained that soil would be removed at each of the SmartJack locations along the crawl space. Tightly compacted crushed stone would fill these holes and a footing would be placed on top of that creating a stable foundation. Galvanized steel beams specifically cut for Junius's home would then be attached to the footing and then attached to a beam that would run along the top of the crawl space. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Junius is now building his new home and putting the finishing touches on his for a new family to make memories in.

John G. had a good amount of rotten wood under his house, so we replaced all the rotten joists and flooring. 

Gene and Melissa R. are homeowners in Liberty, SC and have been for a while. They currently plan to stay in their home as they still have two teenagers at home. Having two young boys is not easy as homeowners that want to take care of their home. Gene and Melissa have had to do many repairs to their home due to their rough and tumble boys. When the bathroom door would not shut, Gene and Melissa imagined it was just more damage that their children had caused. They had someone come out and look at it that told them that the problem was actually foundation related because the floor was sagging. While watching the news, they saw an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the appointment and did an inspection of the crawl space and problem area. Ryan found that Gene and Melissa just needed some extra support which Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system installation would start with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These holes would then be filled with tightly compact crushed stone that would be the solid ground for the footing. The SmartJack would be specifically cut for their crawl space and attached to the footing as well as the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it is then adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Gene and Melissa felt like this would be a lasting solution and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Gene and Melissa are back to making sure their boys do not tear up the rest of the house but with the peace of mind that their foundation is strong.

Parry M. of Anderson, SC is a previous customer who had his home stabilized with push piers a few years ago, so when he was beginning to have flooding issues in his front yard, he knew exactly who to call.  System Design Specialist Trey Smedley had the perfect solution for Parry: a french drain that pumped the pooling water from the front yard to around the perimeter and away from the house.  Now, Parry no longer has to worry about flooding issues in his front yard, and we are happy to continue providing life-changing experiences for our customers, past and present!
