Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

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.

The Methodist Church of Summerton is built on a concrete slab, and after many years of settlement, the congregation wanted to have a safe environment for their Sunday School classes.  After hearing about Cantey Foundation Specialists through word-of-mouth referral, CB Mathis (the representative of the Methodist Church) decided to receive a free estimate.  Specialist Jamie Beresford inspected the church, and he advised that the church's foundation be injected with our patented PolyLevel foam, which would lift and stabilize it back into place.  The PolyLevel crew led by Foreman TJ Harden began their work in the morning, and they were able to not only lift and stabilize, but they were also able to close the wall and floor gaps.  By the early afternoon, the Methodist Church of Summerton was safe to begin their Sunday School classes again!

Susan N. of Eutawville, SC noticed settlement issues throughout her old family home for many years, but she did not worry about it until the home was passed down to her.  Knowing this issue needed to be fixed sooner rather than later, she called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate.  Specialist William Yarbrough inspected the family home inside and out, and he provided Susan with a solution and an estimate.  By installing our patented SmartJack system, we could lift and stabilize the floors back into place.  Subsequentially, this would close any interior cracks and allow Susan peace of mind.  The Production Team, which consisted of Dallas Darity, "Junior" Sotero, and Justin Wheeler, installed seven SmartJacks under the front center span beam in the crawl space.  Now, Susan can enjoy her level floor for the first time in many years!

Mildred P. is a homeowner in Lake City, SC. Mildred and her family live in a quiet neighborhood where their kids can play freely and the can enjoy walks in the morning. Not a lot goes on where they live and they like it that way. “The noise and violence in the city drove us to live out in a place like this so we could properly raise our children,” Mildred said. However, things aren’t all fine and dandy. Mildred’s home has sagging floors. She worries as time goes on that thing will only get worse and worse. She decided to get help and stop the problem in its tracks. She called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection. Manager and Specialist Luke Stemple came out to Mildred’s home and completed the inspection.  Afterward, he explained to her that the solution she was looking for was Cantey’s patented Smart Jack system. Smart Jacks are designed to raise a home’s floors without the settling that piers can experience, ensuring that you get the most out of your home. Team Leader Matt, Team Member Robert, and Team Member David came out to Mildred home and efficiently installed the Smart Jacks. After the work, Mildred was so happy that her home was level again. She couldn’t believe how much better it felt to walk over. Now Mildred and her family can go back to enjoying their home knowing Cantey did the job right.

Cheryl J. has owned her home in Goose Creek, SC for only a few years. When she bought the house there were no foundation issues that were seen by the inspector. As time has gone on, she has noticed more and more sloping in her foyer and had noticed cracks forming on the walls. Cheryl's staircase is in the foyer and she worried about her children's safety while going up to their rooms. She wanted the integrity and safety brought back to her home. She searched for a local company online that she felt like she could trust to do the work. Cheryl came across Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in to make an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand came out and did a thorough inspection. He showed Cheryl the pictures of the beams under her home that were failing. Grayson explained that her foundation just needed a little help holding the weight and that Cantey's patented SmartJack system could do just that. Sections of soil would be removed at the sites where the SmartJacks would be installed. These holes would be filled with tightly compacted crushed stone and a footing placed on top. This would make the solid foundation that would hold the weight of the home and be lasting. On top of the footing, a SmartJack would be installed and attached to a long galvanized steel beam that would run along the top of the crawl space. Once attached to the beam, the SmartJacks would all be adjusted to create lift and stabilize the floor above. Cheryl felt like this was the solution she wanted and would keep her family safe. Production Team Leader Dallas Darity, Production Team Member Dallas Elgin, and Production Team Member David Watson came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Cheryl now does not have to worry about her children's safety and is thankful to Cantey for giving her the peace of mind she needed.
