Foundation Repair Products Before & After Photos

Rotted, wet wood in the crawl space of this family home located in Greer, SC was causing sagging floors and safety hazards. After replacing the rotted wood, this family can once again safely enjoy family dinners at their dining room table. 

Settling foundation around the front porch of this home in Irmo, SC caused the porch to separate from the home, which in turn created cracks in the bricks as the weight of the front porch was sinking away. Helical piers were installed to raise the weight of the porch and lift it back toward its original position. Helical piers are great for stabilizing lighter structures, such as porches, decks and stoops. 

Gary and Deborah G. have been homeowners in Salem, SC for a while now. They love their home and plan on staying in Salem for quite some time. One of their favorite features of the home is the back porch because of its warm fire place and open space. It is the perfect place to host guests on a summer day or even on a chilling evening in the fall. They began to notice a crack forming causing part of the porch to begin leaning away from the home. They were beginning to plan their annual Halloween party and needed to fix this problem for the safety of their guests. Gary did an internet search to see what local company he could find that could do the job right. He came across Cantey Foundation Specialists and saw that they offered a free no-obligation inspection. Gary and Deborah felt like it was worth a shot to make an appointment to see if Cantey was right for them. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway came out and did an inspection finding that there was indeed a perfect solution Cantey could provide. He explained to Gary and Deborah that soil would be removed from the area where Cantey's Helical Pier system would be installed. Then the Helical Pier is drilled into the ground to the proper depth so that foundation brackets can be positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then shifted through the Helical Piers to the competent soil underneath. The piers would then lift the home back to its original position. Gary agreed that this was the right solution for his home. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Helical Piers. Gary and Deborah are moving forward with plans to enjoy the company of family and friends for their Halloween party thanks to Cantey's solution.

Deborah G. has owned her home in Salem, SC since 2005. It is a peaceful place with a porch over looking all of the beautiful scenery. About a year ago her mother became ill and moved in with Deborah because she needed extra help. Her mother cannot get out much but one thing that brings her joy is sitting on the back porch and taking in the view. It is her place of peace and where she finds comfort. Often Deborah sits out with her mother and a warm cup of coffee. A few months ago Deborah started to notice that part of the porch was beginning to lean and moving away from the house. She felt like it was not safe for her mother but knowing what it meant to both of them, she had to fix it. While listening to the radio one day on the way to pick up groceries she heard a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. She called in and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway. Specialist Ryan came out and did his inspection finding that Cantey could indeed fix it. He explained to Deborah that Cantey could install Helical Piers that would be placed in the ground deep enough to find competent soil. This soil would create the perfect anchor for the pier to push on while the footing of the pier would find the bottom of her home's foundation. The Helical Pier would then be able to create lift and safety for Deborah and her mother. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Helical Piers. Deborah and her mother are back out on the porch anticipating the fall weather and the leaves changing now that they feel safe once again.
