Before & After Photos

Wood rot can happen for many reasons, such as, moisture in the crawl space under your home or leaks from foundation cracks and groundwater from above. Whatever the cause might be, it can lead to serious issues including mold on the walls and in the HVAC system, termites, critters and even worse, structural damages. The joists in this crawl space of this home in Augusta GA, had serious wood rot, which contained termites and mold. Cantey crew members replaced all the joists and beams, removing the mold and giving the homeowners peace of mind. 

Mildred P. is a homeowner in Lake City, SC. Mildred and her family live in a quiet neighborhood where their kids can play freely and the can enjoy walks in the morning. Not a lot goes on where they live and they like it that way. “The noise and violence in the city drove us to live out in a place like this so we could properly raise our children,” Mildred said. However, things aren’t all fine and dandy. Mildred’s home has sagging floors. She worries as time goes on that thing will only get worse and worse. She decided to get help and stop the problem in its tracks. She called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection. Manager and Specialist Luke Stemple came out to Mildred’s home and completed the inspection.  Afterward, he explained to her that the solution she was looking for was Cantey’s patented Smart Jack system. Smart Jacks are designed to raise a home’s floors without the settling that piers can experience, ensuring that you get the most out of your home. Team Leader Matt, Team Member Robert, and Team Member David came out to Mildred home and efficiently installed the Smart Jacks. After the work, Mildred was so happy that her home was level again. She couldn’t believe how much better it felt to walk over. Now Mildred and her family can go back to enjoying their home knowing Cantey did the job right.

Homeowner Scott R. from Moncks Corner, SC has loved his home for the past 5 years however, he and his wife have chosen to downsize. They began to worry about the value of their home when Scott looked into the crawl space and found a great deal of water. Scott had previously had a pump installed however, it was clearly not doing what it was supposed to do. Scott heard an advertisement on the radio for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call. He was set up with an appointment with System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand. Grayson made an in-depth inspection of the crawl space and decided on a plan that would best suit Scott's needs. Grayson suggested to Scott that they install a SmartSump system that has a 3-year manufacturers warranty that would be transferable to the next homeowner. This pump, when installed, would effectively remove the water from the crawl space to create a dryer area and prevent any further moisture from creating additional problems to the home. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Estevan Lopez came out to Scott's home and efficiently installed the Smart Sump system. Scott now his home on the market and is certain that the work Cantey has done will add additional value to his home that buyers are looking for.

Homeowners Eddie and Lisa F. of Cattageville, SC have recently started to notice visible sagging in the floor of one room in their home. Eddie consulted the help of another company to fix the floor; however, he was not satisfied with their service. Complaining to his neighbor about not being able to find the right people to help, they suggested Cantey Foundation Specialists. Eddie gave Cantey a call, and Specialist Grayson Forehand came out to do a free inspection. After conducting a proper inspection, Specialist Grayson explained to Eddie that he needed his floor joist replaced because they were too rotten to create a structurally sound floor. Specialist Grayson also suggested that Eddie plan to install CleanSpace after the wood work was complete to prevent any further moisture damage to his floors. Production Team Leader Matt Garcia, Production Team Member David Herbert, and Production Team Member Nick Riddick came out to Eddie's home and successfully removed the rotten wood and replaced that with a new floor joist. Eddie and Lisa are now enjoying the new floor in their home and have plans to work again with Cantey to get CleanSpace installed.
