Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

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.

The Branchville United Methodist Church called Cantey Foundation Specialists because their floors were sloping and squeaking throughout the hundred year old building.  In this Before & After, you can see how the brick column was not only crumbling but was also sinking further into the soil causing the floor to sag.  The SmartJack lifted the floor back into place and stabilized it for many more years to come!  

Francis W. has owned many homes over the years but has finally found a true home in Branchville, SC. He previously moved around because of his position. Working for a company that was nationwide was exciting but he is happy to finally be able to settle down somewhere. As he was getting settle in, he noticed that the floor in the bedroom and living room were sloping. Francis worried that his new found home was in trouble and decided to find a company that could inspect this issue. He searched online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists' website. After reading some information and reviews, Francis decided to call in to make an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Trey Dukes was scheduled for the inspection and met Francis at his home. Trey started his inspection, going through the crawl space and taking note of the places that needed extra support. Afterward, he told Francis that he needed extra support that the SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system would begin with soil being removed at the sites where the SmartJacks would be installed. These sections are then filled with tightly compact crushed stone and a footing is installed on top. Each SmartJack is then cut to specifically fit the area in which it will be installed. The SmartJack is attached to the footing and then to the beam above. Once each SmartJack is secure, they are adjusted to create lift and stabilization. Francis really felt like he could trust Trey and his solution so he decided to schedule an installation date. Production Team Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Francis could not be happier that his floors are now level and permanently stable.
