This is a home in North Charleston that had an old vapor barrier that over time came up and now they were noticing dust and musty smells in their home. Much of the air that you breathe in your home comes from your crawl space. They had us come out and replace their vapor barrier and also some of the wood damage that was found as a result of the inspection.

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!

Crawl space encapsulation and repair

Humid crawl spaces are breeding grounds for mold and rot, causing structural and air quality problems for the rest of your home. What's even worse is that traditional methods of keeping crawl spaces dry, such as venting, have been proven time and time again to create more problems than they solve.

Cantey Foundation Specialists offers complete crawl space repair and encapsulation services using the CleanSpace system. By installing a crawl space vapor barrier and additional products like thermal insulation, dehumidifiers, or drainage matting if need be, you can create a fully enclosed, arid crawl space that won't allow for any moisture to enter.

If your crawl space has rotted or sagging support joists, we can also assist by installing our galvanized steel crawl space support jacks. Your crawl space bears the weight of the floors above, so having stable supports is crucial!

Charleston, SC Basement Waterproofing

Does your basement leak or flood every time it rains? Do you have mold, musty smells, chalky looking deposits on basement walls, or does your basement feel really humid in general? Even though they might not seem that serious, all of these are signs that you may have a basement water problem.

A wet, moldy basement will spur allergy issues, lower home value, and make your basement an unusable space. But with a basement waterproofing system from Cantey Foundation Specialists, you can transform a damp basement into a dry, attractive space. Our basement waterproofing solutions, developed by Basement Systems, include many products and techniques:

  • Drainage systems
  • Sump pump installation & replacement
  • Basement dehumidifiers
  • Wall coverings
  • Basement flooring
  • Basement windows
  • Water heater flood protection

No matter how big or small or a water problem your basement may have, it's always prudent to act sooner rather than later - before mold grows and damages to your personal property add up. Cantey Foundation Specialists's proven basement waterproofing services can help you get your basement back to normal.

Job Stories From Charleston, SC
Push Piers & Smart Jacks in Charleston. SC

Cantey Foundation Specialists recently helped Jessie and Dan P of Charleston, SC. They recently purchased this house a couple months ago and they want to renovate it. They were told about some exterior cracks on the house. Therefore, they called us to take a look at it. We sent our System Design Specialist out for a FREE inspection and estimate. While there the Specialist showed both Dan and Jesse with a laser level on the house where the exterior crack is located along with pictures of inside the crawlspace and other issues that they were not aware of. Dan was very troubled at the additional discoveries. He expressed that he would like to get multiple quotes to make sure the job is done correctly. From there, the Design Specialist and the homeowners had a lengthy conversation about Cantey and how we can get this job done properly for them. After going over the solutions and options once more, both Dan and Jessie decided to proceed with the project. Shortly thereafter Cantey Foundation Specialists installed push piers, jacks on the main beam, jacks with supplemental beams and remove all the excess insulation.

Woodworking Helps Property Flipper Get Started in Charleston, SC

Brian P. is a business man in Charleston, SC that enjoys taking older, run down homes and turning them into beautifully renovated houses. He often finds homes that need a complete overhaul which was the case for this project. Close to downtown Charleston sat a house that no one had touched in years. This home did not even have flooring to get started on renovations. Brian wanted to find the best company to help him get started on making this home beautiful once again. Someone else in Brian's line of business recommended that he call Cantey Foundation Specialists because of their woodworking skill. Brian called into Cantey and was set up with an appointment. System Design Specialist Craig Adams came out to the site and did an inspection of the entire home. Craig told Brian that Cantey could definitely do the woodworking it would take to start on this home. Brian felt confident with Cantey's ability after speaking with Craig and decided this was the company he wanted to assist him. Production Team Leader Sean Hawkes, Production Team Member Diego Sanchez, Production Team Member Jesus Gonzalez, Production Team Member Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardner got to work and successfully completed the woodworking. Brian is now moving forward with his plans to make this home beautiful and is looking forward to working with Cantey again in the future.

We live on the marsh in Charleston. The original front 2 story portion of the home is from 1940s era. Master and large addition first floor addition completed by previous owners in 2010s...we moved in about 2 years ago. We have noted cracking of drywall on ceilings, window corners and doors. We replaced some trim rot on windows as well. Majority of cracking is in the upstairs portion of the original house. We do have some mild buckling of hardwood floors on first floor as well as mild sagging/springiness over parts of the floors. We installed a whole home dehumidifier last year which has been great for indoor moisture issues. The crawl place is spray foamed, but not encapsulated so we're unclear if there's any underlying joist issues. That fairly well sums it up. I've heard great reviews about y'all and would like to get your help investigating what issues we may have. Thanks! Peter
