Encapsulated and Installed Sump Pump in Charleston, SC

This Charleston home had a frightening crawl space when Cantey first layed eyes on it.  Years of stagnant water allowed living organisms to prosper throughout the wooden beams and piers.  The insulation had crumbled and fallen under such humid conditions.  Cantey encapsulated the whole basement, and installed a sump pump to ensure that any additional water would drain out of the crawl space.  This decreased the humidity and practically eliminated the production of mold.  Susan G. is now worry free about her crawl space!

This home is located on James Island and needed some repairs before the current owner could put it on the market. Our crew went in and repaired floor joists and the subfloor where there was alot of moisture damage from standing water. The insulation also had to then be taken out and a vapor barrier was put down. This is a big improvement to the home and the owner is able to use the pictures when showing their home to prospective buyers.

The lower section of this drive way dropped down a couple of inches causing a hump everytime the owner pulled into their drive. That got very annoying after a while so when they saw our booth at the Peach Festival they made an appointment for a free inspection. Our PolyLEVEL system leveled out the drive way at a very reasonable cost!

Kershaw, SC Home Stablized with Smart Jacks

Sara S. is a homeowner is Kershaw, SC who has been living with sagging floors ever since she bought the house 25 years ago. At first, she didn’t think anything of it because it didn’t bother her that bad. As time went on, however, she noticed it more and more. The more she noticed it the more it bothered her. She finally gave in and got someone from her church who had a contrition back ground to come look at it. After he had finished his look around he told her that her floor joist was beginning to give and that she needed them replaced. This didn’t surprise her because that’s exactly what she thought as well so she got them replaced and thought nothing of it. Once again as time goes on she started noticing the sagging again. Frustrated with her floors she calls back her construction friend to look at it once more. This time he tells her that he doesn’t know what it could be, that it’s beyond his understanding at this point. After venting to her friends at church about how aggravated she is with the floors one of her friends recommends she calls Cantey Foundation Specialists to check it out so she does. Specialist Richard Early came out to Sara’s home and gave her a free inspection. After the inspection was done Richard explained to her that it wasn’t her floors that was the problem but her wall. “My wall!?”, she said. “Yes, your wall”, Richard replied. “Sagging walls can often cause rippling effects such as high and low points in your floors. That happens to be the case here”, he explained. He then explained how Cantey’s patented Smart Jack system was the solution to her problems. Production Team Leader Scott and Team Member Kenneth were quickly dispatched to Sara’s home and began working. They made efficient and effective work of the situation installing the Smart Jacks for Sara. “I just can’t find the works to say how happy I am this mess is fixed now, it’s given me this much trouble I’m just glad it’s over”, Sara said. Thanks to Cantey, Sara can now have the peace and enjoyment of her home that she always deserved.

PolyLevel Levels Garage in Awendaw, SC

Mark H. is a homeowner in Awendaw, SC. Mark loves to spend time in his garage, which he has turned into a man-cave. Mark jumps and thrashes around in his man-cave, yelling and sports and cheering with his friends for his favorite teams. The only issue is that Mark’s man-cave was settling. A void had appeared underneath the garage’s slab and was causing it to sink on one side. This caused Mark and his friends all sorts of problems. They were afraid to all meet again because they worried their combined weight would make things worse than they are. Mark decided that he couldn’t let his hard work and dedication to his space go to waste. He decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists after a co-worker suggested that he do so. Specialist Alex Lovette came out to Mark’s home for a free inspection. Afterwards, Alex explained that the solution to Mark’s man-cave issues was Cantey’s patented PolyLevel process. PolyLevel works by injecting polyurethane underneath the slab. This polyurethane expands and hardens effectively lifting and leveling the sunken end. Team Leader TJ and Team Member Jeremy came out to Mark’s home and began working. Throughout the process Mark watch. Mark said, “Wow, that’s really crazy. Look how much it’s coming up. I can physically see the product working. That really is amazing.” After the work was complete the first thing Mark did was jumped up and down to test out the stability. “This is sweet”, he said. “This is exactly what me and the guys needed.” Now Mark and his friends can enjoy Mark’s man-cave once again.

SmartJacks Restore Childhood Home in Johns Island, SC

Jeremy M. has lived in his Johns Island, SC home for as long as he can remember. He inherited his childhood home from his parents and could not imagine living anywhere else. He loves living in the low country and having the ability to enjoy the beach. The only downside to the low country for him has always been the toll it takes on his home. He had noticed that his living room floor was beginning to slope and knew that soil had washed out underneath his home. He had previously had some wood replaced by Cantey Foundation Specialists so he gave them a call for a new solution. System Design Specialist Kendall Moore arrived and inspected the crawl space and found that Jeremy's home just needed some extra support. Kendall recommended Cantey's patented SmartJack system to Jeremy as a lasting solution. The installation would start by removing sections of soil where the tightly compacted crushed stone would fill to create a stable base for the footing to be placed on top. A steel beam that would be specifically cut to fit Richard's crawl space would then be placed on top of the footing and attached to the top of the crawl space. These steel beams or SmartJacks could then be adjusted to lift the kitchen floor to its proper position. Production Team Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardner came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Jeremy is thankful to Cantey for restoring his childhood home and recommends this company to anyone in need of foundation repair.
