Before & After Photos

Katie D. has lived in her Anderson, SC home for quite some time. Being a single woman means that Katie often has to do her own home repair. Luckily her dad taught her a thing or two when she was growing up. Recently, however, there was a problem had come up that Katie simply did not know what to do. She loves sitting on her screened in porch in the evenings but over time she noticed that the floor was unlevel. She had no idea who to call or trust with this kind of repair. One night while watching the news, Katie saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. Cantey looked to be a company she could count on so she called in to schedule an appointment. System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey arrived for the inspection and checked out the crawl space. Nathan found that Katie's porch did not have the support it needed. The temporary piers that had been installed could not do the job. Nathan suggested Cantey's SmartJack system to Katie. He explained that the system would start with holes that would be filled with engineered gravel. This would be a solid base that would not sink over time like soil. Then a metal plate would be installed on top of the gravel and a metal beam would be installed over the existing wooden beams. A SmartJack would then be secured to the top beam and the bottom plate. Once the SmartJack is level, it is then adjusted to create the lift that the floor above needs. After seeing the pictures of what was holding up her floor, Katie knew she needed something that could permanently give her peace of mind. Production Crew Leader Israel Santana, Production Crew Member Nick Rish, and Production Crew Member Stephen Halsall came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Katie is now back to enjoying her screened in porch in the evenings now that her floor is perfectly level and supported.

We take pride in all of our work, but when we get to see stabilization and the cracks disappear, we take extra pride in that.  

Trina G. is a homeowner in Anderson, SC who has had a problem with her floors for a while. She was tired of worrying if her or someone else was going to fall through the floor because of rotten wood damage and sagging floors. She decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists to fix her problems before that happened. Specialist Nathan visited Trina's home and explained to her that with this type of floor issue that the best solution would be our patented Smart Jack technology.  Smart Jacks effectively lift and stabilize sagging floors by providing the support for your home that your structural frame may no longer provide. Team Leader Dallas D., Team Member Dallas A., and Team Member Oscar quickly came to Trina's rescue and installed the Smart Jacks under her home to ensure that she wouldn't have to worry about her sagging floors. With Cantey's help, Trina can now enjoy the peace and comfort of her home once more.

Estelle M. of Easley, SC inherited her mother's home many years ago, and now Estelle would like to leave the house for the third generation to inherit: her son Tom.  Worried that the front porch is going to fall in, Estelle decided to fix the problem before it became her son Tom's problem.  After seeing Cantey's commercial on TV, Estelle decided to call and receive her free inspection and estimate on her home.  Specialist Nathan Bailey visited a few days later and inspected her home, and he had the solution for her front porch.  He suggested that we connect brackets to the two corners of her front porch, and then drive two helical piers into the ground until it reached steady bedrock.  This would lift the porch back into place, and support it for many generations to come.  Now, Estelle can confidently leave the home to her son without any fears!

This before and after of a Poly Level lift in Easley, SC speaks for itself. This homeowner no longer needs to worry about a tripping hazard.
