Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Suzan M. bought her home in Irmo, SC after years of living in an apartment. She decided she wanted more space for her and her two dogs. Since buying the home Suzan has had to do little to repair it which she counted herself lucky for. She began to notice the corner of her home sinking and cracking. Not knowing how serious this could be, she did not pay it much mind. As the cracks got worse, Suzan began to worry more about the state of what was to be her forever home. She called a company to come out and take a look but after hearing their solution, she was not certain. She needed a second opinion and after doing an internet search found Cantey Foundation Specialists. She called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Brandon Privette. Brandon did a thorough inspection and found that the optimum solution for Suzan would be Cantey's Push Pier system. The Push Piers would be installed deep enough to reach competent spoil underneath the footing. The bracket of the Push Piers is then installed below the foundation's footing. Then hydraulics are used to drive the piers causing the weight of the home to be transferred through the pier to the competent soil below. This would then raise the home back to its original position. Suzan was impressed with Brandon's presentation and trusted that Cantey would fix her home properly. Production Team Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member Oscar Mota, and Production Team Member Francisco Lopez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Suzan is beyond relieved that her home is finally stable and she can get back to relaxing with her dogs.

Barry H. is a hardworking man in Lexington, SC. Barry had worked as a Warehouse Manager for 30 years before recently retiring. After his retirement Barry started to notice more about his home. He began to notice cracks in his walls and he wasn't sure of the cause or how to fix it. Barry did know that he didn't like the way they looked so he decided to do something about it. He called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection. Specialist Richard came to Barry's home and explained to him that the cracks in his walls were caused by his sinking floors. He then went on to explain that Cantey's Smart Jack system was the solution that Barry was looking for. "When you see something like that you don't really think that it's a floor issue, but I'm glad Cantey was able to help me." Team Leader Sixto, Team Member Mariano, and Team Member Jose went out and installed the Smart Jacks that Barry needed. "They were fast and efficient in their work. I'm glad I called Cantey."

Jho M. of Lexington, SC noticed that her kitchen cabinets and fridge were leaning forward and pulling away from the wall, and she was tired of looking at it.  She wanted it leveled so that it would no longer be an eye sore, and so that she could install new floors.  Calling Cantey Foundation Specialists, System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford inspected the interior and exterior of her home, and he recommended installing our patented SmartJack system as the best solution to her problem.  She chose Cantey because she loved the fact that we do not sub contract work out, so she knew that only our #1 team crew would be doing the work.  Production Crew Foreman Dallas Darity installed the 8 SmartJacks in her crawl space, which not only lifted but also stabilized her home for many years to come.  Jho can now install new floowing without worry!

Vivica F. and her husband moved into their Lexington, SC home 8 years ago. They decided to purchase a bigger home in preparation for starting a family. It was definitely the right decision for them, they love their home. Of course, having small children has prevented them from doing a bunch of updates on their home. There is just never enough time it seems. They did notice, however, that over time their bedroom door would not close all the way. Soon after, a crack began to form which prompted Vivica to want to get the problem fixed. While watching the evening news, Vivica saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in to schedule an appointment. System Design Specialist Brandon Privette came out and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Brandon found that the area under the bedroom was lacking support. He sat down with Vivica to show her how the SmartJack system could help. The SmartJack system would begin with a steel beam being installed for extra support. Then a hole would be dug under the beam and filled with engineer designed gravel. Then a bottom plate would be placed on top of the gravel to hold the SmartJack. The SmartJack would also be attached to the steel beam above. When the jack is level, the crew then tightens the jack to create lift and stabilization. Vivica felt like this was the best solution for her home and scheduled an installation day. Production Crew Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Crew Member David Herbert, and Production Crew Member Phillip Sullivan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Vivica and her family now have peace of mind in their home and no longer have issues with their door.

Cantey went to this home in Blackstock, SC because the homeowner was concerned about interior cracks. The cracks were a sign of sagging floors and a compromised foundation. Smart Jacks were installed to offer a permanent solution.
