Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

To stop moisture from passing through your floors and porous concrete walls, a crawl space vapor barrier should be installed. A durable liner will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage while transforming your crawl space into usable storage space. This is also the best time to install crawl space insulation on your walls or floors. Installing crawl space drainage matting underneath the crawl space liner will help direct water to the drainage system and sump pump.

Richard R. and his wife have owned their home in Pacolet, SC for quite some time. They raised their children in the home and do not plan to leave. While they are still here, they are doing everything they can to ensure that the home their children inherit is in great condition. Richard has worked with a few contractors to do some much-needed fixes around the house. One aspect of his home that has always bothered him is the kitchen cabinets that had sunk over time. When Richard heard from one of his friends about Cantey Foundation Specialists and the amazing work they do, he knew he had to call. Richard called in and after expressing his concerns about his kitchen, he was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford. Jamie arrived for the appointment and took a look in the kitchen before inspecting the crawl space. After his inspection, he sat down with Richard to explain how Cantey's SmartJack system would be the right solution. The SmartJack system would begin with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These sections would then be filled with tightly compacted crushed stone. This crushed stone would not have the movement of the soil which becomes the perfect base for the SmartJack. A footing is then installed on top of the stone where the SmartJack is attached at the bottom and then at the top to the beam above. Once each SmartJack is secure, all of them can be adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Richard felt that the SmartJacks would fill the gap that he desperately wanted to see gone so he scheduled an installation date. Production Team Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member Oscar Mota, and Production Team Member David Watson came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Richard is pleased with the outcome and is confident that the SmartJack system will add value to the home he will pass on to his children.

Cheri B. has owned her home in Gaffney, SC for 20 years now. Since retiring, Cheri has found different activities to do at home and out with friends. She joined a church group that has introduced her to knitting and her new favorite, baking. Cheri had baked a few times over the years but it was never a regular hobby. She loves baking different pies, cookies, and cakes for church fundraisers or just to share with friends and neighbors. Cheri's church was having their annual Fall Festival so she was hard at work in her kitchen until her foot slipped on her sloping floor and all her hard work was ruined. Luckily, she was alright but she worried about her safety as she enjoyed her favorite past time. While watching the news that evening, she saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. She felt like Cantey was the right company to call and made an appointment the next day. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway came out and did an inspection of Cheri's floor and crawl space. Ryan found that Cheri needed extra support and lift that could be provided by Cantey's patented SmartJack system. The SmartJack system begins with soil removal at the places that the SmartJacks will be installed. These removal sites are then filled with tightly compact crush stone. A footing is then placed on top of this stone where the SmartJack will be attached. Once the top of the SmartJack has been attached to the beam above, it is adjusted to create lift and stability. Production Team Leader Dallas Darity, Production Team Member Dallas Elgin, Production Team Member David Watson came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system to Cheri's home. Cheri is now underway with yet another baking project but no longer has to fear about her safety while she is hard at work.

There were numerous tripping hazards in Adam P.'s garage in Gaffney, SC, and he wanted them to be fixed as soon as possible.  He researched online and found CanteyCanFixIt.com and learned about our patented PolyLevel process.  Specialist Nathan Bailey inspected his garage and driveway, and Specialist Nathan explained that the PolyLevel polymer in pumped underneath the concrete slab to raise it back into place.  It would also be stabilized so that the concrete slab could not settle again because of soil erosion.  Ecstatic with the results, Adam can now enjoy his garage without the worry of tripping hazards!
