Cracks in your Brick?

Foundation wall cracks have different causes and need different fixes. We'll identify what's causing yours and use the right solution, whether that's foundation piers, wall anchors, or another proven method.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Doors and Windows that stick?

Sticking doors and windows usually mean foundation settlement or failing crawl space supports. We fix these problems with foundation piers, crawl space jacks, and leveling.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Cracks in your sheetrock?

We identify why your foundation is shifting and stabilize it for good. Once we're finished, those cracks stay gone, permanently fixed at the source.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Uneven or bouncy floors?

We've reinforced thousands of floors since the '90s, restoring solid, stable footings throughout your home. The difference is firm, level floors that feel the way they should.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Old, Rotten Wood?

We replace rotted structural wood and seal out the moisture that caused it so your home stays strong. You'll have structural peace of mind when we finish.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Mold or Musty Smells?

Our encapsulation system with other components seal out moisture so your air stays clean and fresh year-round. Breathe easy knowing mold can't grow in a properly sealed crawl space.

Standing Water?

One heavy rain away from serious structural damage isn't where you want to be. We install drainage solutions that actually work year-round.
FIX IT FOR GOOD

Water in your Basement?

Our drainage and sump pump systems keep your basement dry year-round. Store what you want in your basement without worrying about water damage.

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!

Are all floor cracks a sign of a serious problem?

Not all floor cracks are serious. Small, hairline cracks are often a normal result of concrete drying and shrinking. However, if cracks are widening, uneven, or extending into your walls, or if your floors feel bouncy or sag, they could indicate more significant issues like foundation settlement, expansive soils, or crawl space structural problems, and should be professionally inspected.
