Customer Paul P. of Columbia, SC began noticing cracks inside and outside his home.  He also noticed that his floors were sloping in certain areas, which concerned him.  Calling Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate, System Design Specialist Will Yarbrough inspected the home, and he advised Paul to replace his old crawl space jacks because they were no longer supporting the structure.  Cantey sent in Production Crew Foreman Matt Garcia and his crew to replace the jacks with our patented SmartJack System.  Our SmartJacks are made out of galvanized steel so they are strong and resistant to corrosion, and our SmartJacks also solve the issue of problematic soils which created the problem in the first place!

Marshall M. and his wife owned their Columbia home for many years, and they noticed settlement issues becoming worse and worse.  They wanted to fix the issues now to mitigate future problems.  After seeing Cantey Foundation Specialists' advertisement in the local Val-Pak, Marshall called for a free estimate.  System Design Specialist William Yarbrough inspected their home, and he noticed numerous large cracks in the exterior of the home, settlement in the garage, and drainage issues around the home.  Specialist William recommended that Push Piers would be installed to lift and stabilize the exterior of the home, while our patented PolyLevel could lift and stabilize the concrete slab garage.  He also recommended that Cantey install a drainage system around the home to allow rainwater to bypass and continue past the house rather than flooding the home and crawl space.  The Production Crew was the "Dream Team," which consists of three foreman, Dallas Darity, Justin Wheeler, and Junior Tamaya completed the project in a timely manner so that Marshall and his wife can be confident in living in their home for many years to come.

Job Stories From Lexington County, SC
Chapin, SC Home is Stabilized

Richard S. of Chapin, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists after his exterminator realized there was a bowing wall in his foundation.  The cement wall was barely connected to the wooden mainframe beams (pictured).  If it moved any further, the house would have fallen and created more serious problems.

Cantey Foundation Specialists brought in Production Crew Foreman Sixto Lopez and Production Crew Member Mariano to stabilize the home using SmartJacks, remove the current wall, and rebuild it in a secure fashion.  Now, Richard has the confidence that Cantey fixed his foundation, and his home will not buckle because of an unsturdy bowing wall!

Stabilization through PolyLEVEL inside Chapin Home

Vincent C.'s home on Lake Murray in Chapin, SC was primarily built upon a cement foundation.  During the flooding, he had a spot in his slab that leaked.  Wanting a solution to prevent this from happening again, he called Cantey Foundation Specialists to fix it.  Creating a dam between the slab and the ground to prevent the water table from rising through the slab, PolyLEVEL Technician and Foreman TJ Harden injected the polymer throughout the living room and bedroom to fill the voids underneath.  Now, Vincent does not have to worry about his home flooding or settling!

Chapin Garage Floor Lifted with Patented PolyLEVEL

Jonathon L. of Chapin, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists because his garage concrete slab had sunk over 3 inches.  The stairs to enter his home via garage were not even touching the floor anymore, so he had two wood blocks to hold it up temporarily.  PolyLEVEL technician and Production Crew Foreman TJ Harden and Production Crew Member Ryan McPherson used our patented polyurethane PolyLEVEL system to raise and stabilize his garage.

Customer Jonathon was nice enough to brew some wonderful coffee and show us coffee bean plants.  

Within a few hours, Jonathon's garage was lifted over 3 inches and put back into place.  Through the process, the PolyLEVEL also stabilized the concrete slab, which ensured that the garage will not sink down again. 

Cantey was happy to help find a solution for Jonathon's problems!

Crawl Space Issues Fixed in Lexington, SC Home

Rod D. of Lexington, SC wanted to sell his home, but he knew he had some crawl space issues he must fix first before the home inspection.  After calling Cantey Foundation Specialists for his free estimate and inspection, System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis explained to Rod that he had numerous problem including drainage issues and mold growth.

Production Crew Foreman Israel Santana got rid of the mold growing on the surface of the wood beam structure; fortunately for Rod, the mold had not begun to break down the wood itself.  Next, the Production Crew graded and installed the sump pump to ensure that water flowing through the crawl space would be adequately pumping away from the home.  Lastly, the crew laid down a thick vapor barrier to keep the crawl space clean and keep moisture levels low.

Customer Rod D. was able to sell his house shortly after Cantey's life-changing customer service!

Push Piers Save Jeep from Harm in Gilbert, SC

Dwight S. built his home back in the 1970s in Gilbert, SC. He knew that Gilbert had always been his home and would continue to be. A few years after the completion of his home, he decided to build a garage to go along with his home. It has been one of the best decisions because it keeps his prized Jeep out of the elements. That is until a few years ago when he started to notice cracking on the side of his home. His neighbor was over one day and told him about Cantey Foundation Specialists. He said they could help him fix and stabilize his foundation. Dwight called Cantey and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis. Eddie came out and did a thorough inspection of Dwight's garage determining that Push Piers would be the right solution. He explained that the Push Piers would be installed deep enough to reach competent spoil underneath the footing. The bracket of the Push Piers is then installed below the foundation's footing. Then hydraulics are used to drive the piers causing the weight of the home to be transferred through the pier to the competent soil below. This would then raise the garage back to its original position. Dwight felt like this solution would give him the peace of mind he needed and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the Push Piers. Dwight no longer has to worry about the stabilization of his garage and the safety of his prized Jeep thanks to Cantey's lasting solution.

Do you know why concrete sidewalks become uneven?

You probably don’t spend much time thinking about the sidewalk in front of your home. It’s not so much for you as it is for the pedestrians around your neighborhood. However, the sidewalk on your property is your responsibility to maintain.

There are a few factors that could cause a sidewalk to need repairs. Rain can wash away the dirt underneath the concrete sidewalk slabs, causing them to sink or settle. In dryer months, the soil can dry out and shrink. This can cause concrete to crack and potentially become a trip hazard.

Regardless of the reason for repairs, the safety of your sidewalk is important. Many people use the pathway, whether it’s to get to work or to exercise. Children might use your sidewalk to get to and from school.

In many places, it’s the home owner’s responsibility to repair the concrete sidewalk on their property. Often times, the sooner you get it fixed, the less expensive the cost will be.
