Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

One thing homeowners Mike & Kathy never considered was how important a secure crawlspace door was for their crawlspace. Not only does it protect their foundation from the elements like excess moisture and flooding and prevent critters from moving in, but it also allows homeowners an opportunity to know right away if something isn't right under their home. Cantey Crew to the rescue making sure this Columbia, SC home stays safe and energy effiecent for years to come. 

Blown away by this Before & After in Columbia, SC using Helical Piers to redefine this family's foundation. 

Mark N. inherited his Columbia, SC home several years ago and has since rented it to a wonderful tenant. Mark wanted to rent to provide an extra income for his family. The tenant, Pam, was good about calling if something was wrong and Mark was happy to help. One day, Mark got a call that his tenant had fallen because of the dip in the kitchen. Mark had been meaning to get someone out to look at it and this was all the more reason. He did a search online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. He scheduled an appointment to meet a representative at his rental home to see what could be done about the floor. System Design Specialist Richard Early came out and thoroughly inspected the floor and underneath in the crawl space. Richard found that an old refrigerator leak had caused the wood to rot under that section of the kitchen. Richard suggested having Cantey support the beams as well as replace the subfloor. Mark agreed that the work needed to be taken care of and he trusted Cantey to do the job right. Production Crew Leader Oscar Mota, Production Crew Member Nick Riddick, and Production Crew Member Ryan McAlister came out and effectively replaced and supported the floor. Mark no longer worries about his tenant and is thankful that he found Cantey.

Jonathan R. called Cantey about Issues with his home being unusually humid inside. He told us that he had been constantly sick for a little over a month when the rain season started in Columbia. We asked him if he had any inspections done before and he said he had not, but this was never a problem for him before. After we inspected his crawlspace, we found mold and very damp soil under his home. Few people know whether they have mold under their house or not, but the only way you can know for sure, is if you have a Cleanspace or not. We changed out his Dehumidifier that was almost as old as the house was, cleaned out all signs of mold and encapsulated his crawlspace with our Cleanspace so the mold would never come back. After only a week, he said he lost his cough and stuffy nose. "I almost forgot what it was like to breathe clean air without going outside," said Jonathan. "I didn't think I was ever going to get over that."

Allen S. called Cantey Foundation Specialists because his beautiful Columbia home was settling into the soil, causing displeasing cracks in the foundation and stabilization problems.  System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis suggested the Push Pier System as a solution to Allen's problems.

Production Crew Foreman Jonathan Driggers and Production Crew Members Israel, Ethen, and Ryan installed 8 push piers on one side of Allen's home, which lifted it a quarter inch back into place and stabilized the structure. Now, Allen can sleep peacefully in his home knowing that his foundation will no longer settle into the surrounding soil!
