Phuong N. moved to Columbia, SC a few years ago to take a surgical position at a local hospital. She loves her work and helping those that are in need. The home she bought in the area was ideal for her and she was content with her decision to move. That was until she started to have some allergy issues that prevented her from working. One day she noticed that there was mold growing on one of her vents in the bedroom. Phuong knew this had to be the cause of her getting sick. She did not know personally of any companies in the area that did crawl space repair so she turned to the internet. After a quick search she found Cantey Foundation Specialists and saw that they were a local company. Phuong called in a scheduled an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford came out and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Jamie found that Phuong had quite a bit of moisture in her crawl space which was causing the mold growth. He sat down with her to explain the CleanSpace system that Cantey has. The CleanSpace system consists of a thick liner that is wrapped around each pier, covers the floor, and is secured on the walls of the crawl space to keep out moisture. This creates a complete barrier between the earth and the home, preventing any damage and providing cleaner air to breathe. Phuong was sold with this system that would finally give her a healthier home and scheduled an installation day. Production Crew Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Crew Member Frank Lopez, and Production Crew Member David Watson came out and successfully installed the CleanSpace system. Phuong no longer has allergy problems and is back to helping those in need with no interruption.

Fast & Affordable Concrete RepairConcrete Leveling

Around your property,  you may have noticed sunken or uneven concrete.  Unfortunately, you not only have an eyesore near your home, but you have a serious tripping hazard.  Don’t worry though, fixing your uneven concrete is simpler and faster than you probably knew!  At Cantey Foundation Specialists, we use PolyLevel®, an industry leading concrete lifting and leveling product.  PolyLevel® is lightweight and fast acting; it is injected into small holes in the concrete and has a reaction in which it expands into the area.  During this expansion, the uneven concrete is lifted back into place.  Another great feature is that PolyLevel® is long lasting and environmentally friendly!

If not treated properly, the small crack in your concrete could be an opportunity for moisture to seep through and cause the soil to wash away. NexusPro can seal up the crack and provide everlasting flexibility!

Professional Aluminum Gutter Installation in Columbia

Your gutters are more important than you may think. Healthy gutters help maintain a healthy home, transporting water and debris from your roof and safely depositing it away from areas where it can cause damage. While you might think faulty or ineffective gutters limit damages to the roof, think again. Foundations can be at risk as well. Without properly-fitted, high-quality seamless gutters, you might find yourself with a wet basement, leaky roof, or other avoidable household issues. You need a gutter contractor you can trust to make sure the job gets done right.

Cantey Foundation Specialists installs durable seamless gutters constructed from single pieces of high-strength aluminum. With this construction technique, our aluminum gutters avoid the pitfalls of traditional seamed gutters, like debris clogs. Seamless gutters are just one component of our fully-customized gutter systems. We install innovative gutter guards as well, which permanently eliminate the need to clean your gutters. We can guarantee a clog-free seamless gutter experience with safe water evacuation for years to come!

We are the Columbia area’s premier gutter contractor, specializing in aluminum gutter installation, gutter guards, downspout extensions, and more. Call us today for your no-cost, no-obligation gutter replacement estimate!

Water Intrusion in Columbia, SC

The Cantey Team recently helped Jennifer S. of Columbia, SC and her family so that they could get their house sold. They have their house on the market and unfortunately had some water intrusion in their finished basement last week.

Solving Sagging Floors in Columbia, SC

A Columbia, SC homeowner called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a FREE estimate and inspection on their sagging floors. The floors had progressively gotten worse and the homeowners were concerned about further and costly damage. Here, Cantey Team Member Israel carefully measures the length they will need to cut the beams to be used to support the home permanently.

Woodworking Opens a New Door in Columbia, SC

Suneetha M. is a homeowner in Columbia, SC that like most people has routine termite inspections. During an inspection, the inspector did not find any termites but did tell Suneetha about the wood rot underneath one of his doors. Wanting his home to be in good condition, Suneetha wanted to find someone that could replace this wood. Suneetha went to a home show in Columbia one Saturday and found a booth for Cantey Foundation Specialists. He got some information and signed up for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis came out and did an inspection on the wood in question. Eddie told Suneetha that Cantey could definitely help and would replace the wood with no problems. Production Team Leader Matt Garcia, Production Team Member Nick Riddick, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and successfully replaced Suneetha's rotting wood. Suneetha is back to being worry free about the wood underneath his home and recommends Cantey to anyone that is in need of crawl space or foundation repair.

Columbia Home Touble Selling Because of Front Porch

Michael M. bought his home in 1980 and decided that now he would like to sell it, the only problem is that Michael's home has a foundation issue. His front porch has sank beyond a level of acceptance for anyone. He noticed it 15 years ago and decided not to do anything about it until now.  This has put a lot of stress on Michael seeing that the home is in disrepair, and the eye sore on the front porch could potentially scare away home buyers. Michael, full of frustration, sees Cantey's Facebook page and decides to give them a call. He gets in contact with Specialist Alex Lovette, who comes to Michael's home and gives him a free inspection of his front porch. Alex then explains to Michael that Cantey's patented PolyLevel process can fix his problem and help him sell his house. Team Leader Roberto, and Team Member Nick quickly dispatch to Michael's home and begin working.  Afterwards, Michael is very pleased with the results.  The crew was able to raise his porch and level it out, sealing off the gaps and making his home look cleaner and more presentable for potential home buyers. Now Michael can sell his home with peace of mind that Cantey did the job right.

Basement Water Damage including Foundation Wall in Columbia

Patrick B. called Cantey Foundation Specialists because he (and his renters) were concerned about the kitchen floor falling in, water damage, and a disintegrating foundation wall.  Patrick tried to fix the problems himself; however, he realized that he needed a more permanent solution so that he could have peace of mind.  

Cantey installed 4 SmartJacks at the height of almost 7 feet tall, created a drainage system, and rebuilt the foundation wall with brackets to stabilize until Patrick was able to continue with renovations.

Now, Patrick has a more durable solution for his problems!

Chimney is leaning. During previous deck repair during summer of 2022, i noticed that the base of the chimney was rotted apart and wet due to improper flashing.I replaced the rotted board one section at a time and wedged these boards in place to provide some sort of support. I had to cut roughly a quarter inch off to get the boards to because the chimney had already settled. I want to see if this can be properly repaired. I don't want it to turn into a bigger issue. If I take a level against the wall that this chimney is affixed, I see a slight lean that gets stronger the higher up on the wall.
