SmartJacks Help Couple Feel Safe Again in Easley, SC

George and Melinda L. recently bought their home in Easley, SC. During the inspection of their new home, the inspector did not catch the need for foundation support under their bedroom. As time passed George and Melinda noticed the floor in their bedroom continuously getting worse. They knew it was time to find someone to help them feel safe again. Melinda's sister suggested to them that they call Cantey Foundation Specialists and ask if the SmartJack system that was installed under her home would be right for them too. They called in and were scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway. Specialist Ryan came out and did an inspection, finding that Melinda's sister had been right. Cantey's patented SmartJack system would be the perfect solution to solidify their foundation and give their floor the lift it needed. He further explained to George and Melinda that a section of soil would be removed for each SmartJack where the tightly compacted crushed stone would be placed. Footings would rest on top of that to form a base for each galvanized steel column measured to fit their crawl space would be positioned. The steel columns would then be attached to the existing beams in their crawl space and then be adjusted to create lift. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system to George and Melinda's home. George and Melinda no longer worry about the foundation under their bedroom and finally feel safe again.

SmartJacks Add Value to Inherited Home in Pacolet, SC

Richard R. and his wife have owned their home in Pacolet, SC for quite some time. They raised their children in the home and do not plan to leave. While they are still here, they are doing everything they can to ensure that the home their children inherit is in great condition. Richard has worked with a few contractors to do some much-needed fixes around the house. One aspect of his home that has always bothered him is the kitchen cabinets that had sunk over time. When Richard heard from one of his friends about Cantey Foundation Specialists and the amazing work they do, he knew he had to call. Richard called in and after expressing his concerns about his kitchen, he was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford. Jamie arrived for the appointment and took a look in the kitchen before inspecting the crawl space. After his inspection, he sat down with Richard to explain how Cantey's SmartJack system would be the right solution. The SmartJack system would begin with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These sections would then be filled with tightly compacted crushed stone. This crushed stone would not have the movement of the soil which becomes the perfect base for the SmartJack. A footing is then installed on top of the stone where the SmartJack is attached at the bottom and then at the top to the beam above. Once each SmartJack is secure, all of them can be adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Richard felt that the SmartJacks would fill the gap that he desperately wanted to see gone so he scheduled an installation date. Production Team Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member Oscar Mota, and Production Team Member David Watson came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Richard is pleased with the outcome and is confident that the SmartJack system will add value to the home he will pass on to his children.

SmartJacks Put Up a Strong Defense in Liberty, SC

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.
