Before & After Photos

Gary K. is a homeowner in Boiling Springs, SC who has had an issue with his home's walls cracking. The issue started a few years ago. Gary patched his walls with new dry wall and paint initially but the problem persisted. Gary was confused at how cracks kept reappearing after he fixed them so many times. The problem isn't with the walls however, the problem is in the home's foundation. One symptom of sagging floors is cracked walls. Gary was tired of dealing with it and after hearing about Cantey Foundation Specialists on his local television station he gave us a call. Specialist Nathan went out to Gary's home and explained to him that his sagging floors were the issue and that our patented Smart Jacks were the solution he was looking for. Team Leader Dallas Darity, Team Member Austin Strong, and Team Member Dallas Elgin were sent to Gary's home and installed Smart Jacks for him. "I am so happy to finally be able to relax now that I know the problem is taken care of," said Gary. "I never would have guessed that it was my floors that were the issue, I could have saved a lot of money."

Gary and Deborah G. have been homeowners in Salem, SC for a while now. They love their home and plan on staying in Salem for quite some time. One of their favorite features of the home is the back porch because of its warm fire place and open space. It is the perfect place to host guests on a summer day or even on a chilling evening in the fall. They began to notice a crack forming causing part of the porch to begin leaning away from the home. They were beginning to plan their annual Halloween party and needed to fix this problem for the safety of their guests. Gary did an internet search to see what local company he could find that could do the job right. He came across Cantey Foundation Specialists and saw that they offered a free no-obligation inspection. Gary and Deborah felt like it was worth a shot to make an appointment to see if Cantey was right for them. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway came out and did an inspection finding that there was indeed a perfect solution Cantey could provide. He explained to Gary and Deborah that soil would be removed from the area where Cantey's Helical Pier system would be installed. Then the Helical Pier is drilled into the ground to the proper depth so that foundation brackets can be positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then shifted through the Helical Piers to the competent soil underneath. The piers would then lift the home back to its original position. Gary agreed that this was the right solution for his home. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Helical Piers. Gary and Deborah are moving forward with plans to enjoy the company of family and friends for their Halloween party thanks to Cantey's solution.

Deborah G. has owned her home in Salem, SC since 2005. It is a peaceful place with a porch over looking all of the beautiful scenery. About a year ago her mother became ill and moved in with Deborah because she needed extra help. Her mother cannot get out much but one thing that brings her joy is sitting on the back porch and taking in the view. It is her place of peace and where she finds comfort. Often Deborah sits out with her mother and a warm cup of coffee. A few months ago Deborah started to notice that part of the porch was beginning to lean and moving away from the house. She felt like it was not safe for her mother but knowing what it meant to both of them, she had to fix it. While listening to the radio one day on the way to pick up groceries she heard a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. She called in and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway. Specialist Ryan came out and did his inspection finding that Cantey could indeed fix it. He explained to Deborah that Cantey could install Helical Piers that would be placed in the ground deep enough to find competent soil. This soil would create the perfect anchor for the pier to push on while the footing of the pier would find the bottom of her home's foundation. The Helical Pier would then be able to create lift and safety for Deborah and her mother. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Helical Piers. Deborah and her mother are back out on the porch anticipating the fall weather and the leaves changing now that they feel safe once again.

Marsha and Rob G. of Salem, SC were concerned about a couple of areas in their sidewalk that were sinking towards the lake. It was important the sidewalks were level and safe as Mrs. G uses a wheelchair for mobility. Cantey Foundation Specialists were able to lift and repair the sidewalks permanently using PolyLevel Lift which allowed the couple to quickly be able to use their sidewalks the same day installation. 

John L. of Wellford, SC noticed his floors were beginning to sag between his kitchen and dining room, but he left it alone until his pest control company completed an inspection.  The pest control company found termite damaged wood in the crawl space which weakened the structural support.  The pest control company referred John to Cantey Foundation Specialists, and he received a free inspection and estimate by Specialist Katherine Dillon.  Within a few weeks, John's termite damaged wood beams were replaced with our treated lumber, which brought the floor back to level and strengthened the structure.  Now, John can enjoy his home for years to come!
