Before & After Photos

Mike F. of Camden, SC called his friend System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis when he realized his bearing wall was sinking causing cracks throughout the interior of his home.  Specialist Eddie suggested that Mike hire Cantey to install our patented SmartJack System, which would lift and stabilize the bearing wall with little work intrusion.  This efficient solution is stronger and more durable than any other product on the market.  Shortly after, Production Crew Foreman Sixto Lopez and his crew installed six SmartJacks along with a galvanized supplemental beam.  Now that the bearing wall is completely supported, it was able to be lifted back into place thus closing the interior cracks.  Now, Mike is confident that his home is safely stabilized!

Before and After in Camden, SC 

Our PolyLevel lift outside in Camden, SC by the Cantey Foundation Specialists team lifted and leveled this sidewalk that had sunk where it meets in the Harbage in only a day. 

Tonie S. moved to Camden, SC about 20 years ago to be closer to her family. She knew that she would miss Ohio, however, she wanted to be able to spend time with her grandchildren as they grew up. She bought a larger house in the area to always have room for the family to come to visit. Throughout the years, she has not had many repairs done to her home. That is until she started having issues with the floors downstairs. The kitchen and hallway floors seemed to start sagging but Tonie had no idea who to call. She saw a truck in town on her way to get groceries that said Cantey Foundation Specialists. Tonie called in to see if her sagging floor was something they could help with. She was pleased to hear that Cantey would send someone out to do a free inspection. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford came out and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Jamie found that Tonie needed extra support for her floors because of settlement. 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. Tonie wanted her floors repaired and believed in the solution Jamie had laid out. Production Crew Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Crew Member David Herbert, and Production Crew Member Dillion Price came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Tonie now has level floors and praises Cantey all over town. 

Peggy and James J. have lived in Camden, SC all their lives and have owned their home there for many years. It is the home they will pass along to their children and where they plan to stay. There are not many aspects of the home that ever bothered Peggy except for the floor in the master bathroom. The floor just seemed to keep sinking until there was a large gap between the floor and the baseboard. This gap bothered her until she finally decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists and schedule an inspection. Cantey is a company located in her hometown and she trusted that they would give her an honest scope of the work that needed to be done. System Design Specialist Kory Sanders arrived for the appointment and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Afterward, he sat down with Peggy and James to discuss a plan he had drawn up. Cantey's SmartJack system would provide the extra support needed to lift and stabilize the floor of the bathroom. 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. Peggy and James believed in this solution and wanted it done quickly. Production Crew Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Crew Member Francisco Lopez, and Production Crew Member Phillip Sullivan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Peggy and James no longer have that pesky gap in their bathroom and they have since referred several of their friends to Cantey.
