Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

Gloria B. just moved into her home in Columbia, SC and is excited to finally be a homeowner. She had always wanted to own instead of rent. Of course, now that she owns a home she is finding out just how difficult it can be sometimes. Repairs and improvements have to be made to keep a home in good shape. Gloria started to notice in the last few weeks that her floor was becoming bouncy out of nowhere. She did not have any experience with crawl spaces so she needed a trusted company to find out what was going on. She remembered her sister had work done on her foundation a few years ago so she asked about the company. Her sister told her to call Cantey Foundation Specialists, they did a wonderful job raising her home. Gloria called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist John Adams. After his inspection, John sat down with Gloria to tell her that she had excessive moisture in her crawl space. This was causing the floor to become bouncy and would cause other problems if not handled properly. John told Gloria that the solution that she needed to protect her home was the CleanSpace system. The CleanSpace system would begin with drainage matting being placed on the floor of the crawl space. Then a thick liner of CleanSpace material would be installed on the floor, walls, and piers of the crawl space for an all-around barrier. The barrier would then be sealed with spray foam adhesive that solidifies the bond between the CleanSpace system and the crawl space. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Matthew Kelley came out and successfully installed the CleanSpace system. Gloria loves her new CleanSpace and the peace of mind that her home is protected from moisture damage.

Oftentimes Cantey Foundation Specialists is called upon for wood rot and replacement jobs such as this one in Columbia, SC. Moisture in the crawlspace can lead to bigger problems such as rotten wood visible in the floors you walk on every day. The Cantey Crew was able to safely replace the rotten wood and address the bigger issue under the home with a total encapsulation to combat excess moisture, mold and mildew in the future. 

One of the most common signs of settlement sinking are cracks in your sheetrock along doorframes and corners like this Columbia, SC home. Lifting your foundation with piers or jacks could offer a permanent solution and avoid costly repairs in the future. 

University of South Carolina Main Campus called Cantey Foundation Specialists because their sidewalks outside of a few buildings were settling.  This caused tripping hazards and bad ascetic.  Production Crew Foreman, TJ Harden and crew member, Ryan McPherson had the solution to USC's problems: the patented PolyLEVEL process. By injecting the PolyLEVEL polymer beneath the concrete slabs, the sidewalks were leveled and lifted to the correct place.  Now, USC has both aesthetically pleasing and safe sidewalks and patios for their buildings!

Our Polylevel easily raised this slab right back where it was supposed to be, permanently. It's amazing what a little polyurethane foam can do for your concrete slabs!
