Job Stories From Lexington County, SC

Chapin, SC Home is Stabilized

Richard S. of Chapin, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists after his exterminator realized there was a bowing wall in his foundation. The cement wall was barely connected to the wooden mainframe beams (pictured). If it moved any further, the house would have fallen and created more serious problems.

Cantey Foundation Specialists brought in Production Crew Foreman Sixto Lopez and Production Crew Member Mariano to stabilize the home using SmartJacks, remove the current wall, and rebuild it in a secure fashion. Now, Richard has the confidence that Cantey fixed his foundation, and his home will not buckle because of an unsturdy bowing wall!

Stabilization through PolyLEVEL inside Chapin Home

Vincent C.’s home on Lake Murray in Chapin, SC was primarily built upon a cement foundation. During the flooding, he had a spot in his slab that leaked. Wanting a solution to prevent this from happening again, he called Cantey Foundation Specialists to fix it. Creating a dam between the slab and the ground to prevent the water table from rising through the slab, PolyLEVEL Technician and Foreman TJ Harden injected the polymer throughout the living room and bedroom to fill the voids underneath. Now, Vincent does not have to worry about his home flooding or settling!

Chapin Garage Floor Lifted with Patented PolyLEVEL

Jonathon L. of Chapin, SC  called Cantey Foundation Specialists because his garage concrete slab had sunk over 3 inches. The stairs to enter his home via garage were not even touching the floor anymore, so he had two wood blocks to hold it up temporarily. PolyLEVEL technician and Production Crew Foreman TJ Harden and Production Crew Member Ryan McPherson used our patented polyurethane PolyLEVEL system to raise and stabilize his garage.

Customer Jonathon was nice enough to brew some wonderful coffee and show us coffee bean plants.

Within a few hours, Jonathon’s garage was lifted over 3 inches and put back into place. Through the process, the PolyLEVEL also stabilized the concrete slab, which ensured that the garage will not sink down again.

Cantey was happy to help find a solution for Jonathon’s problems!

Push Piers Stabilize Home in Gilbert, SC

Elliott E. of Gilbert, SC noticed small cracks forming on one corner of his home. Worried his home had major foundation issues, he called Cantey Foundation Specialists. We sent in System Design Specialist Jason Hardage to inspect Elliott’s home and give a free estimate. Jason’s solution to Elliott’s foundation issues was to install two push piers on the one corner of his home. This process would lift and stabilize his home without it ever settling again. As Production Crew Foreman Sixto Lopez and Production Crew Member Mariano Amaya were able to install the two push piers and also close the small cracks that appeared on the external wall of the home. We were happy to help Elliott fix his foundation issues!

Crawl Space Issues Fixed in Lexington, SC Home

Rod D. of Lexington, SC wanted to sell his home, but he knew he had some crawl space issues he must fix first before the home inspection. After calling Cantey Foundation Specialists for his free estimate and inspection, System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis explained to Rod that he had numerous problem including drainage issues and mold growth.

Production Crew Foreman Israel Santana got rid of the mold growing on the surface of the wood beam structure; fortunately for Rod, the mold had not begun to break down the wood itself. Next, the Production Crew graded and installed the sump pump to ensure that water flowing through the crawl space would be adequately pumping away from the home. Lastly, the crew laid down a thick vapor barrier to keep the crawl space clean and keep moisture levels low.

Customer Rod D. was able to sell his house shortly after Cantey’s life-changing customer service!

Push Piers Save Jeep from Harm in Gilbert, SC

Dwight S. built his home back in the 1970s in Gilbert, SC. He knew that Gilbert had always been his home and would continue to be. A few years after the completion of his home, he decided to build a garage to go along with his home. It has been one of the best decisions because it keeps his prized Jeep out of the elements. That is until a few years ago when he started to notice cracking on the side of his home. His neighbor was over one day and told him about Cantey Foundation Specialists. He said they could help him fix and stabilize his foundation. Dwight called Cantey and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis. Eddie came out and did a thorough inspection of Dwight’s garage determining that Push Piers would be the right solution. He explained that the Push Piers would be installed deep enough to reach competent spoil underneath the footing. The bracket of the Push Piers is then installed below the foundation’s footing. Then hydraulics are used to drive the piers causing the weight of the home to be transferred through the pier to the competent soil below. This would then raise the garage back to its original position. Dwight felt like this solution would give him the peace of mind he needed and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the Push Piers. Dwight no longer has to worry about the stabilization of his garage and the safety of his prized Jeep thanks to Cantey’s lasting solution.

Do you know why concrete sidewalks become uneven?

You probably don’t spend much time thinking about the sidewalk in front of your home. It’s not so much for you as it is for the pedestrians around your neighborhood. However, the sidewalk on your property is your responsibility to maintain.

There are a few factors that could cause a sidewalk to need repairs. Rain can wash away the dirt underneath the concrete sidewalk slabs, causing them to sink or settle. In dryer months, the soil can dry out and shrink. This can cause concrete to crack and potentially become a trip hazard.

Regardless of the reason for repairs, the safety of your sidewalk is important. Many people use the pathway, whether it’s to get to work or to exercise. Children might use your sidewalk to get to and from school.

In many places, it’s the home owner’s responsibility to repair the concrete sidewalk on their property. Often times, the sooner you get it fixed, the less expensive the cost will be.

Dampness Concerns in West Columbia, SC

Ms. Carlson, a lovely homeowner in the West Columbia, SC area, gave us a call. Now, she wasn’t initially thinking about foundation specialists like us. Her regular pest control expert, the guy who keeps the creepy crawlies away, had flagged something concerning: high moisture levels and a damp crawl space. That’s like a red flag waving in the unseen parts of her home!

Think about it from Ms. Carlson’s perspective. Her bug guy, someone she trusts to keep her home pest-free, is now telling her about a whole other issue lurking beneath her floors. Dampness? That doesn’t sound good. It can lead to all sorts of worries – musty smells, potential mold, and even concerns about the structural integrity of her home.

That’s when Cantey Foundation Specialists got the call. We’re the folks who dive deep – literally – into the foundations of homes to tackle these very issues. For Ms. Carlson, our visit wasn’t just an inspection; it was the start of bringing peace of mind back to her home.

Our diagnosis confirmed what her pest control expert suspected, and we laid out a clear plan of action – a three-pronged approach to make her crawlspace healthy and sound again. First, we’d install our champion moisture barrier: CleanSpace. Imagine a bright, clean, and dry space replacing that dampness. CleanSpace is like a heavy-duty raincoat for her crawlspace, sealing out that unwanted moisture from the ground and creating a healthier environment.

But we didn’t stop there. Because of the existing dampness, we knew mold could be a concern. So, our second step was a thorough mold treatment. Think of it as hitting the reset button, ensuring any existing mold is addressed and creating an environment where it’s less likely to return.

Finally, during our inspection, we identified a joist that needed some extra support. So, our team would also be expertly “sistering” a new joist alongside the existing one. This is like giving that part of her home’s foundation a strong, reliable partner, ensuring stability for years to come. For Ms. Carlson, this wasn’t just about fixing a damp crawlspace. It was about protecting her home, ensuring healthy air quality for herself and her family, and knowing that the structural elements were sound. It was about taking that worry off her shoulders.

When we complete this project for Ms. Carlson, it won’t just be an installation; it will be a transformation. It will be the peace of mind that comes with knowing her home is healthy from the ground up. And that’s what we, at Cantey Foundation Specialists, are all about – building trust, one healthy crawlspace at a time.

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.
