Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Kevin and Kim S. have lived in their Greer, SC home for over 10 years. They are finally making an attempt at downsizing now that their children are grown up. Their son asked if he could purchase the home from them to start his own family. Of course, Kevin and Kim were happy that the home would stay in the family but there were some repairs they needed to do first. They had known for a while that there was some wood that needed to be replaced in their crawl space. While watching the news one morning, Kim saw an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in. System Design Specialist Jerod Tafta arrived for the inspection ready to go and thoroughly looked through the whole crawl space for wood damage. Jerod found that there were quite a few beams that needed to be replaced. He assured Kevin and Kim that Cantey often did wood rot replacement and they could have the job done within a day. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and successfully replaced all the damaged wood. Kevin and Kim are currently helping their son and his family move into their memory-filled home with the peace of mind that it is the safest place for them to be.

Teresa G. has lived in her Greer, SC home for about 10 years now. She and her husband love taking care of their home because it has been their biggest investment. When the concrete in their garage started to crack they had Cantey Foundation Specialists come out and repair it. During this inspection, System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey also looked over the crawl space. He found that there was also some rotten wood but Teresa and her husband were just concerned about the garage. A few months later, however, Teresa started to notice that the floor in the hall was sagging. She decided to call Cantey back out to see what they could do to replace the wood. System Design Specialist Nathan mapped out a plan to get the wood replaced and fix the floor in the hall. Teresa trusted Cantey to get the job done right because of the great job they had already done on the garage. Production Crew Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Crew Member David Herbert, and Production Crew Member Dillon Price came out and effectively replaced the rotten wood. Teresa and her husband are once again impressed with Cantey and have referred several of their friends that have similar issues. 

Roger K. of Honea Path, SC used his unfinished basement for storage; however, he noticed after heavy rains that the basement would flood creating high levels of humidity.  After installing a dehumidifier, he realized that mold still began to grow throughout the basement.  Researching online, Roger called Cantey Foundation Specialists to receive a free estimate on an encapsulation.  Production Team Leader Matt Garcia and his crew remediated the mold, graded the soil, and completely encapsulated his basement.  Now, Roger can enjoy a dry, bright, and clean basement where he can safely store all of his possessions.

To stop moisture from passing through your floors and porous concrete walls, a crawl space vapor barrier should be installed. A durable liner will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage while transforming your crawl space into usable storage space. This is also the best time to install crawl space insulation on your walls or floors. Installing crawl space drainage matting underneath the crawl space liner will help direct water to the drainage system and sump pump.
