Professional Foundation Repair, Concrete leveling & Basement Waterpoofing in Richland County, SC

Chuck R. has a beautiful home in Irmo, right on Lake Murray.  His picturesque back yard almost matched the exquisite home... almost.  The gorgeous two-tier pool was surrounded by a cracking and moving concrete slab patio.  Not only was it displeasing to the eye, but it also created functionality problems and safety hazards.

Chuck called in Cantey Foundation Specialists to fix the problem.  TJ Harden, our PolyLEVEL Specialist, and assistant Ryan McPherson arrived unto the scene and detected that over ten slabs needed to be lifted to a level position.  After a few hours and setbacks with the rain, TJ and Ryan finally finished the PolyLEVEL process.

Chuck is now worry-free about the aesthetics of his back yard and pool, and he also does not have any concern that someone will hurt themselves tripping or falling in by the pool!

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!

Customer Isabelle S. of Eastover, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists because her floor was sloping, and she had noticeable cracks above the doorway in her kitchen.  System Design Specialist James Davis explained to Isabelle that her floors were sloping in areas because her crawl space support system was settling, making the floor unstable to walk on.  Specialist James' solution to the problem was to reinforce the main structural beam with our patented SmartJack system, which lifted and stabilized the floor back into place.  After being installed by Production Crew Foreman Matt Garcia, customer Isabelle was amazed at the difference!  She no longer has to worry about the support system underneath her house.

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.

Margie W. is a loving mother who wants nothing more than to leave a stable home for her daughter. In all the years she has lived at her home she can't recall a problem that she hasn't dealt with herself. From raising her kids and providing for her family she has done it all. Somethings however, she can't deal with alone. When Margie saw that her home was settling and her floors were sagging she didn't know what to do. A friend recommended that she call Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection.  Specialists Jamie Beresford came out to Margie's home and explained to her that Cantey had the solution she needed. Jamie explained how Cantey's patented Push Pier system would raise her homes foundation and Cantey's Smart Jack system would raise and stabilize her sagging floors. The combination of these two systems would provided stabilization and support for years to come. This way Margie could pass her home down to her kids, due to Cantey's transferable warranty.

Homeowners Robert and Amy B. from Irmo, SC love using their porch for relaxing. They sit out on the porch on afternoons after work and weekend mornings with their coffee. They began to notice that porch was starting to sink and they worried that it could possibly cave in. Due to their concern they did not want to use their porch but soon enough it was something they started to miss. Robert and Amy did not want to have to replace the porch entirely so they searched the web for different solutions that would be more affordable. They came across Cantey Foundation Specialists in their search and gave them a call. System Design Specialist Alexander Lovette came out and did an inspection on the porch. He sat down with Robert and Amy after his inspection and told them about Cantey's PolyLevel system. Alexander explained that Cantey's crew would drill small holes into the concrete then inject the PolyLevel which comes out as a liquid so that it can fill all the voids underneath the concrete. The PolyLevel would harden within 15 seconds and create lift for their porch. Production Team Leader TJ Harden and Production Team Member Jeremey Wilson came out and effectively installed the PolyLevel system as well as filled in the injection spots. Robert and Amy are back to relaxing on their porch and thankful to Cantey for the work they did to give them their oasis back.

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.

These beams will go between the woodwork and SmartJacks in order to apply pressure through the entire length of the sagging floor.
