Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

Richard N. is a homeowner in Columbia, SC and loves the area he lives in. He bought the home so his children could be close to their schools. When Richard bought the home not that long ago there were not many improvements he had to make. Recently though his living room floor began to worry him. It is the place where his kids often play and watch television. The floor began to slope making Richard feel like his family was not safe in their living room. One night while watching the evening news he saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. The next day he called in and scheduled a free, no obligation inspection just to see what was going on. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford came out and did an inspection and found that a beam was beginning to fail underneath the living room. Specialist Jamie told Richard that the solution he needed to protect his family and his home was Cantey's patented SmartJack system. The SmartJack system would be installed underneath the failing beam to give it lift and stabilize the floor above. A section of the soil would be removed and filled with tightly compacted stone. A footing would then be placed on top of this and connected with a galvanized steel column that would be leveled to fit perfectly under the wooden beam. The steel column would then be connected to the wooden beam and the column could be adjusted to create lift. Production Team Leader Trey Dukes, Production Team Member Estevan Lopez, and Production Team Member Brooks Walker came out to Richard's home and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Richard is now no longer worried about his kids playing in the living room and is thankful to Cantey for the best, lasting solution.

Francis W. has owned many homes over the years but has finally found a true home in Branchville, SC. He previously moved around because of his position. Working for a company that was nationwide was exciting but he is happy to finally be able to settle down somewhere. As he was getting settle in, he noticed that the floor in the bedroom and living room were sloping. Francis worried that his new found home was in trouble and decided to find a company that could inspect this issue. He searched online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists' website. After reading some information and reviews, Francis decided to call in to make an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Trey Dukes was scheduled for the inspection and met Francis at his home. Trey started his inspection, going through the crawl space and taking note of the places that needed extra support. Afterward, he told Francis that he needed extra support that the SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system would begin with soil being removed at the sites where the SmartJacks would be installed. These sections are then filled with tightly compact crushed stone and a footing is installed on top. Each SmartJack is then cut to specifically fit the area in which it will be installed. The SmartJack is attached to the footing and then to the beam above. Once each SmartJack is secure, they are adjusted to create lift and stabilization. Francis really felt like he could trust Trey and his solution so he decided to schedule an installation date. Production Team Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Francis could not be happier that his floors are now level and permanently stable. 

Gail R. is a homeowner in Walterboro, SC who loves taking care of her home and updating it. She had decided that her next big project was the remodel her kitchen. Before she could do so, she knew her foundation had to be repaired. Years ago she was told that her foundation was starting to sink causing the kitchen floor to slope. Gail was not sure who to call so she did her research online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. She gave them a call and was set up with an appointment. System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand came out and did an inspection that confirmed what Gail had already known. He explained to her that the solution she needed was Cantey's SmartJack system. Holes would be dug along the crawl space that would be filled with tightly compacted stone that would be a resting place for a perfectly sized structural footing. These structural footings would then be attached to a steel beam that would be attached to the home and run the length of the crawl space. This would create solid foundation support for the floors of this home. Production Team Leader Israel Santana and Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Gail has remodeled her kitchen and is looking forward to working on other projects now that she is sure of her solid foundation.
