SmartJacks Keep Homeowners' Independence in Goose Creek, SC

Dale H. has lived in his home in Goose Creek, SC for a few years now by himself. His wife passed away and ever since he has had to take care of his home alone. His children try to help as much as possible but Dale insisted on being as independent as possible. On the day of his yearly termite inspection, he was told that one of his piers had fallen in the crawl space. He had thought something was off with the floor in the master bedroom but did not investigate further. Dale knew something needed to be done because he did not want to risk his safety or the safety of his home. At church that Sunday, he asked some of his friends if they had any suggestions of companies he could talk to. They told him that he needed to call Cantey Foundation Specialists and that he would be in good hands. When he called in that Monday morning, he was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist, Kendall Moore. Kendall arrived and went straight to work inspecting the crawl space. He found that the pier was definitely a problem and was glad that Dale had called when he did. Kendall discussed with Dale how Cantey's SmartJack system could ensure the stability of his home. The installation process would begin with soil removal at the sites that would then be filled with engineered fill. Then a footing is installed on the solid base that the fill creates. Each SmartJack is then sized and installed at each site. Once each SmartJack is attached, they are then tightened to create stabilization. Dale believed this was the right decision for safety and his independence. Production Team Leader, Israel Santana, Production Team Member, Zenen Dominguez, and Production Team Member, Brooks Walker came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Dale now has the peace of mind that his home is protected and his safety is intact.

He first noticed that his Chimney was cracked about 2 years ago and didn't do anything about it. He said, "it was a little crack at the time so I didn't really pay no mind to it." After a while the crack began to get bigger and then Jabe decided to do something about it. "It got to the point that it was uncomfortable for me to look at, fixing it seemed like my only option really." Jabe decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists. Specialist Richard Early came out to Jabe's home and explained to him that our patented Push Pier system was the solution he was looking for. Team Member Sixto, Team Member Mariano, and Team Member Juan came out to Jabe's home and installed the Push Piers. "The results were amazing, I can't believe the work they did", Jabe can relax now knowing Cantey did the job right.

SmartJacks Levels Home in Adams Run, SC

Adam H. is a homeowner in Adams Run, SC. Over the past year or so Adam has slowly noticed that his home's floor is getting lower and lower. It has been slowly arcing inward creating a small slope for him and his family. "It's become a real nuisance anymore", Adam said. "At the time I just didn't know what to do with it". Adam likes to get on Facebook and look around from time to time and one day he noticed Cantey Foundation Specialists' Facebook page and decided to give us a call. Specialist Michael Scott came out for a free inspection of Adams home. After the inspection Michael explained to him that the problem was in the wall not the floor. Over time the wall had sunk and due to that pressure on the floor it created a ripple effect which caused his floor to drop in that particular spot and rise in another that Adam hadn't noticed. Team Leader Israel, Team Member Jonathan, and Team Member Austin came out to Adam's home and installed the Smart Jacks. "I couldn't believe it was the wall that was the problem and not the floor, I'm glad I called Cantey because that could have been a real mess", Adam said. Now Adam can go back to enjoying his home once more knowing that Cantey did the job right.

Sagging Floors in Ravenel, SC Corrected with SmartJack Solution

Gracie K. noticed several cracks above her living room doorway in her Ravenel, SC home.  After patching and repainting the cracks, Gracie noticed that a few weeks later the cracks would reappear and were becoming larger in size.  Knowing that she must be having a foundation issue, she called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection and estimate.  Specialist Kendall Moore explained to Gracie that the cracks were becoming larger because the floor was not correctly supported.  By installing our SmartJack crawl space jack solution, we could lift and stabilize the floors back into place.  This would ultimately close the cracks in the living room doorway, and permanently stabilize her floor.

After the work was complete Gracie told Specialist Kendall, "I knew it worked because I have repainted over the closed crack, and I haven't noticed any movement since!"
