Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

Junius S. has owned his home in Pickens, SC for over 20 years now. It has been a good home to himself and his family but he has decided to build a home. He and his wife want to down size now that they are empty nesters and they have always dreamed of building their own home. Before they leave though, Junius wants to make sure his home is a fresh start for the new family that will ultimately move into their home. The floor in the living room has always sloped slightly but has gotten worse over time. Junius decided he would find a company to fix the foundation so that was not a worry for the next family. His neighbor had foundation problems in the past and Cantey Foundation Specialists did an excellent job. Junius called into Cantey and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Katherine Dillon. When Katherine came out and did her inspection she found that what Junius needed to solve his foundation issues was Cantey's patented SmartJack system. Katherine further explained that soil would be removed at each of the SmartJack locations along the crawl space. Tightly compacted crushed stone would fill these holes and a footing would be placed on top of that creating a stable foundation. Galvanized steel beams specifically cut for Junius's home would then be attached to the footing and then attached to a beam that would run along the top of the crawl space. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Junius is now building his new home and putting the finishing touches on his for a new family to make memories in.

Cindy P. is a homeowner in Hartwell, GA who enjoys the porch on the bottom of her home. She is able to read the books she loves and knit out in the fresh air while still having some shade. Because she spends so much of her time on the porch she noticed when the top of it started to lean. This happened over time but recently started to concern Cindy. She did an internet search on her issue and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. She called in the next day and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Dallas Rabideaux. When Dallas arrived for the scheduled appointment Cindy took him over to the problem area of the porch. After the inspection, Dallas came to the conclusion that Cindy needed Cantey's patented SmartJack system to lift and stabilize the porch area. Dallas further explained that the process would start by removing sections of soil where the tightly compacted crushed stone would fill to create a stable base for the footing to be placed on top. A steel beam that would be specifically cut to fit under the porch would then be placed on top of the footing and attached to the top of the add-on. These steel beams or SmartJacks could then be adjusted to lift the add-on to its proper position. Production Team Leader Israel Santana and Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system to Cindy's porch. Cindy is once again relaxing on her porch, no longer having to worry about its stabilization.

Gene and Melissa R. are homeowners in Liberty, SC and have been for a while. They currently plan to stay in their home as they still have two teenagers at home. Having two young boys is not easy as homeowners that want to take care of their home. Gene and Melissa have had to do many repairs to their home due to their rough and tumble boys. When the bathroom door would not shut, Gene and Melissa imagined it was just more damage that their children had caused. They had someone come out and look at it that told them that the problem was actually foundation related because the floor was sagging. While watching the news, they saw an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the appointment and did an inspection of the crawl space and problem area. Ryan found that Gene and Melissa just needed some extra support which Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system installation would start with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These holes would then be filled with tightly compact crushed stone that would be the solid ground for the footing. The SmartJack would be specifically cut for their crawl space and attached to the footing as well as the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it is then adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Gene and Melissa felt like this would be a lasting solution and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Gene and Melissa are back to making sure their boys do not tear up the rest of the house but with the peace of mind that their foundation is strong.

George and Melinda L. recently bought their home in Easley, SC. During the inspection of their new home, the inspector did not catch the need for foundation support under their bedroom. As time passed George and Melinda noticed the floor in their bedroom continuously getting worse. They knew it was time to find someone to help them feel safe again. Melinda's sister suggested to them that they call Cantey Foundation Specialists and ask if the SmartJack system that was installed under her home would be right for them too. They called in and were scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway. Specialist Ryan came out and did an inspection, finding that Melinda's sister had been right. Cantey's patented SmartJack system would be the perfect solution to solidify their foundation and give their floor the lift it needed. He further explained to George and Melinda that a section of soil would be removed for each SmartJack where the tightly compacted crushed stone would be placed. Footings would rest on top of that to form a base for each galvanized steel column measured to fit their crawl space would be positioned. The steel columns would then be attached to the existing beams in their crawl space and then be adjusted to create lift. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system to George and Melinda's home. George and Melinda no longer worry about the foundation under their bedroom and finally feel safe again.

Michael, in Spartanburg, realized that his sagging floors were getting worse and worse. Upon inspecting his crawl space he saw that not only was there deteriorating wood but the pillars supporting his house were merely concrete blocks stacked on top of one another. Cantey Foundation Specialists were able to go in and replace the wood where needed and put proper support using our SmartJack system. The SmartJacks are able to be adjusted until the floors are level again.
