Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Supportworks Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems.

Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete.

In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.

If you have a crawl space and the floors above are out of level, you may have a structural problem in your crawl space. Crawl space jacks can address the structural problems.

If a concrete slab is uneven, it could be because of settlement or foundation heaving. Foundation settlement can be solved by installing foundation piers.

Patti S. has lived in her Cayce, SC for a little over 10 years now. She loves her home however, she plans on moving in the next 5 years to be closer to her children. Shortly after she moved in, she noticed that the chimney was leaning away from the house and other cracks were forming. Patti did not pay this much mind until recently when an inspector looked over her home. She wanted someone to come in and take a look to see what she needed to get fixed before selling. The inspector told her that the chimney and the cracks needed to be repaired if she wanted to get the full value of her home. He suggested she give Cantey Foundation Specialists a call, which she did and set up an appointment. System Design Specialist John Adams came out and did a thorough inspection of the foundation around Patti's home. John determined that the solution that Patti needed to hold the value of her home was Cantey's Push Pier system. First, the soil would be removed where the piers would be driven into the ground in order to find competent soil. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to the competent soil that was found below. This system can not only stabilize foundation but create lift that would rid Patti's home of the unsightly cracks and correct the position of her chimney. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system to Patti's home. Patti is finally ready to start putting her home on the market and is looking forward to finally be closer to her children.

Customer Janet B. has owned and raised her family in this Columbia, SC home since 1989.  She moved to North Carolina over the past few years because of work reasons, but she wanted to fix the home now so that she can move back in when she retires.  After researching Cantey Foundation Specialists online, she called to make an appointment for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford arrived at the house and recommended that Janet utilize our patented Polylevel process, which would lift and stabilize part of her slab foundation.  Jamie also recommended eight of our steel-galvanized Push Piers to stabilize her home. Production Crew Foremen TJ Harden and Ryan Shirley installed the PolyLevel and Push Piers to our high Cantey standard. The cracks are gone and the foundation is now stabilized so that Janet can fully enjoy her home when she retires.

Marshall M. and his wife owned their Columbia home for many years, and they noticed settlement issues becoming worse and worse.  They wanted to fix the issues now to mitigate future problems.  After seeing Cantey Foundation Specialists' advertisement in the local Val-Pak, Marshall called for a free estimate.  System Design Specialist William Yarbrough inspected their home, and he noticed numerous large cracks in the exterior of the home, settlement in the garage, and drainage issues around the home.  Specialist William recommended that Push Piers would be installed to lift and stabilize the exterior of the home, while our patented PolyLevel could lift and stabilize the concrete slab garage.  He also recommended that Cantey install a drainage system around the home to allow rainwater to bypass and continue past the house rather than flooding the home and crawl space.  The Production Crew was the "Dream Team," which consists of three foreman, Dallas Darity, Justin Wheeler, and Junior Tamaya completed the project in a timely manner so that Marshall and his wife can be confident in living in their home for many years to come.
