Before & After Photos

Dora H. is a homeowner in Columbia, SC who has had an issue with her floors sagging in the past. She had a contractor come out and install temporary jacks, which would solve the problem but only for a while. The biggest issue is that temporary jacks aren't made to hold up your home indefinitely so they bend and settle as time goes on. This is exactly what happened in Dora's case. She began to notice a few months after the contractors had left that her floors started to sag again and became bouncy. She was tired of the short term solutions and decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists. Specialist John Adams came out to Dora's home and explained to her that Cantey's patented Smart Jack system was the long term solution she needed. Smart Jacks work to displace the weight of the house through a 2x2x2 engineer filled space to prevent settling. Team Leader Israel, Team Member Austin, and Team Member Jonathan were quickly sent to Dora's home and installed the Smart Jacks. Dora was so happy that Cantey came and gave her a long term solution that she could rely on. "I would have never went to those other guys if I knew Cantey would do such a good job".

Oftentimes Cantey Foundation Specialists is called upon for wood rot and replacement jobs such as this one in Columbia, SC. Moisture in the crawlspace can lead to bigger problems such as rotten wood visible in the floors you walk on every day. The Cantey Crew was able to safely replace the rotten wood and address the bigger issue under the home with a total encapsulation to combat excess moisture, mold and mildew in the future. 

One of the most common signs of settlement sinking are cracks in your sheetrock along doorframes and corners like this Columbia, SC home. Lifting your foundation with piers or jacks could offer a permanent solution and avoid costly repairs in the future. 

Regie Scott of Columbia, SC was told by his termite inspectors that he had major woodwork issues in his crawl space.  Worried that the wood would fail and his house would crumble underneath of him, he called Cantey Foundation Specialists after hearing their radio advertisement on 107.5 The Game.  Specialist John Adams inspected Regie's crawl space and foundation, and he explained to Regie that Cantey could replace the termite-eaten wood with our treated lumber.  While replacing the wood was the best solution, Specialist John also wanted to protect his home from settlement issues in the future.  John suggested our patented SmartJack System, which would support the brand new treated lumber structure for many years to come!
