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.
Frank L. of Mayesville, SC noticed his bedroom doorway having cracks in the sheet rock, and there was also a popping sound of the subfloor in the same area. Concerned this could be a major issue, he researched Cantey Foundation Specialists online and received a free estimate. With the recommendation of installing a SmartJack crawl space jack and supplemental beam, Cantey was able to lift and close the visual gaps between the subfloor and joists. Frank also asked to replace the crawl space door with our patented vacuum tight CleanSpace door, which ensured bugs and other pests could not find their way into the crawl space.
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.
