Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

This Patrick, SC home could see the problems with their foundation right there in the chimney. It was tilting away from home which was able to resolved by installing piers and restoring the home to a stable position. 

Billy & Axia J. of Hartsville, SC noticed that his exterior chimney was beginning to lean away from the home.  Worried that it could fall over and damage the home, they called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate.  System Design Specialist Will Yarbrough inspected the exterior of their home, and found numerous exterior cracks in the brick near the chimney.  Because the soil surrounding the chimney was settling, the whole exterior wall was settling with it pulling the chimney away.  Specialist Will explained to Billy & Axia that the best solution is our helical piers which would lift and stabilize not only the chimney, but also the home back into place!

Michelle H. bought her home in Hartsville, SC a few years ago and loves it. She went to college in Hartsville and since then has considered it home. She found a great job and decided to purchase a home right outside of town. Shortly after moving in, she started to notice the floor sagging in the living room and a drop in the guest bathroom floor. She knew these problems were not going to fix themselves and began her search for just the right company to help. Being a single woman who does not know much about home repair, Michelle wanted to find a company that she could trust. On the radio one morning, she heard an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in. She was scheduled for an appointment and even received a packet in the mail with information on Cantey's products and about the System Design Specialist John Adams who was coming to her home. Before John arrived, Michelle already felt comfortable which made the inspection easier. John went into her crawl space and found the places where the floors were sagging. When he completed the inspection, he sat down with Michelle to tell her about Cantey's patented SmartJack system. Sections of soil would be removed where each SmartJack would be installed and filled with tightly compacted crushed stone. This stone would create a solid foundation for the footing that would be placed on top of it, then a galvanized steel beam, a SmartJack, would be attached to the footing. Each steel beam would be attached to a long beam that would run along the top of the crawl space to give the floor lift. The SmartJacks would then be adjusted to create lift and a stable foundation. Michelle appreciated how knowledgeable John was and decided the SmartJack system was right for her. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jesus Gonzalez, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member Zenen Dominguez came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Michelle could not be happier with the results and feels safer in her own home thanks to Cantey's solution.

Susan N. of Eutawville, SC noticed settlement issues throughout her old family home for many years, but she did not worry about it until the home was passed down to her.  Knowing this issue needed to be fixed sooner rather than later, she called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate.  Specialist William Yarbrough inspected the family home inside and out, and he provided Susan with a solution and an estimate.  By installing our patented SmartJack system, we could lift and stabilize the floors back into place.  Subsequentially, this would close any interior cracks and allow Susan peace of mind.  The Production Team, which consisted of Dallas Darity, "Junior" Sotero, and Justin Wheeler, installed seven SmartJacks under the front center span beam in the crawl space.  Now, Susan can enjoy her level floor for the first time in many years!
