Manuel was experiencing soft, bouncy floors in his home in Santee, SC. Upon inspection, we quickly realized the floors in his home were suffering damage from wood rot and needed to be replaced.
Often when Cantey Foundation Specialists goes on a FREE home inspection and estimate the System Design Specialists find that not only has the foundation been compromised by settlement, but wood beams and joists need to be replaced as well due to excess moisture.
Eddie J. has lived in his Sumter, SC home for many years now. It was the home he specifically designed for his wife and kids. He has loved his home ever since it was completed. Of course, when he saw a foundation crack he worried what that meant for his beloved home. Eddie went online to search Yelp.com for a contractor that could help him fix his home. He found Cantey Foundation Specialists and gave them a call to set up a free inspection. System Design Specialist John Adams arrived for the appointment and started his inspection. After completing the inspection, he sat down with Eddie to discuss a solution that he had designed for Eddie's home. The home would need support to stop the settlement that had started years ago. John explained that Cantey's Push Pier system could provide the support that Eddie's home needed. The process would begin with the crew digging a few holes around the foundation. Once they reached the footing of the foundation, they would install a bracket to the footing. Then steel tubes would be pushed into the ground until they found competent soil that could properly support the home. When that point is reached, the tubes then push up on the bracket, allowing the foundation to be lifted back to its original position. Eddie was impressed with the plan that John had drawn up and believed it would permanently solve his home's foundation issues. Production Crew Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Crew Member David Watson, and Production Crew Member Francisco Lopez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Eddie finally has the peace of mind he wanted for his home that he one day hopes to pass along to his children.
Cantey Foundation Specialists Team Members place a piece of tape on the side of this Ansonville, NC home so that they can closely monitor the progress of this foundation lift. It is extraordinary how piers can permanently stabilize a home a restore it to it's original condition.
This Patrick, SC home could see the problems with their foundation right there in the chimney. It was tilting away from home which was able to resolved by installing piers and restoring the home to a stable position.
