Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Watching the WIS channel on tv, Larry and Geraldine G. saw a Cantey Foundation Specialists commercial offering free estimates on sagging floors and wood replacement.  Knowing that they not only had crawl space issues but also a damaged subfloor from a kitchen leak, they called Cantey right away for an inspection.  System Design Specialist James Davis had the solution for their problems: our SmartJack system to correct the sagging floors, a drainage system for future water issues, and replacement of the damaged subfloors.  This Before & After picture shows the french drain that was installed to prevent future floodings in the crawl space.  It successfully leads water out of the crawl space and away from the home.

Debra C. of Columbia, SC could feel her kitchen and dining room floors bend and sag when she walked in her home.  Worried that this could be a major problem, she found Cantey Foundation Specialists online and called for a free estimate.  Specialist John Adams inspected Debra's crawl space, and he found high levels of humidity and rotting wood beams.  Specialist John Adams explained to Debra that the rotting wood beams caused the floors to weaken, and that they needed to be replaced with treated wood.  However, he also recommended our CleanSpace encapsulation system to protect the new treated lumber and to prevent any future moisture problems in the crawl space.  

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. 

Geneva of Columbia, SC, knew her crawl space was exposed to the dirt and vulnerable to moisture, especially with all the summer heat and humidity. When your crawl space is exposed and moisture is able to enter, the wood can start to rot and the humidity levels provide an environment for mold and dust mites to thrive. Cantey's CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space to protect it from this environment and a dehumidifier with a drainage system helps to keep the moisture out and the energy bills lower. This also ensures the space is clean and free of mold, dust mites and critters. 

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."
