Before & After Photos

Vivica F. and her husband moved into their Lexington, SC home 8 years ago. They decided to purchase a bigger home in preparation for starting a family. It was definitely the right decision for them, they love their home. Of course, having small children has prevented them from doing a bunch of updates on their home. There is just never enough time it seems. They did notice, however, that over time their bedroom door would not close all the way. Soon after, a crack began to form which prompted Vivica to want to get the problem fixed. While watching the evening news, Vivica saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in to schedule an appointment. System Design Specialist Brandon Privette came out and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Brandon found that the area under the bedroom was lacking support. He sat down with Vivica to show her how the SmartJack system could help. The SmartJack system would begin with a steel beam being installed for extra support. Then a hole would be dug under the beam and filled with engineer designed gravel. Then a bottom plate would be placed on top of the gravel to hold the SmartJack. The SmartJack would also be attached to the steel beam above. When the jack is level, the crew then tightens the jack to create lift and stabilization. Vivica felt like this was the best solution for her home and scheduled an installation day. Production Crew Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Crew Member David Herbert, and Production Crew Member Phillip Sullivan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Vivica and her family now have peace of mind in their home and no longer have issues with their door.

Cantey went to this home in Blackstock, SC because the homeowner was concerned about interior cracks. The cracks were a sign of sagging floors and a compromised foundation. Smart Jacks were installed to offer a permanent solution.  

Karl W. of Rock Hill, SC was planning on selling his home; however, after looking in his crawl space, he knew he needed to fix the termite-ridden and rotten wood rim joists.  After seeing Cantey's name in the local Money Mailer, Karl called for a free inspection and estimate.  System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford examined the crawl space, and he had a simple solution: replace all the rotten wood with our treated lumber.  Production Crew Foreman Dallas Darity and his crew were able to do this in a timely manner and at a reasonable price!  Now, Karl can have the peace of mind to begin the process of selling his home.

Installing space insulation during your encapsulation can greatly reduce the energy costs of your family home. 

Using Cantey Foundation Specialists before, Tom B. called us again because he wanted to stabilize one side of his house.  An addition to the home later on, the garage and extra room were not fully stabilized.  Although this section of the house only sunk about a quarter inch into the ground, Tom B. wanted to stop further settling.  Four push piers were installed raising the house up the quarter inch, and PolyLEVEL was pumped horizontally beneath the floor to fill any voids.  Tom's house is now fully stabilized, and he does not have to worry about his home settling in the future!
