Crawl Space Encapsulation and Repair

Nobody wants mold and rot in their home, especially considering it causes structural and air quality problems for the entire house.  Any trace of mold or rot is a problem that needs a professional solution, not a DIY or quick fix.  In fact, if ventilation in the crawl space is not executed properly, it will create more problems than are solved.

At Cantey Foundation Specialists, we use expert, trusted solutions for crawl space repair and encapsulation by utilizing the CleanSpace system.  Depending on your home’s specific needs, we will install a combination of a crawl space vapor barrier, thermal insulation, dehumidifiers, or drainage matting.  At your FREE, no obligation cost estimate, our service expert will assess the needs of your home and determine the necessary course of action.  

If rotted or sagging support joists are your problem, we will install galvanized steel crawl space support jacks.  Your crawl space supports the weight of the floors above, so if that area is compromised, your floors will be too!

PolyLevel® for Concrete Repair in Sumter, SC

Sunken, uneven concrete creates hazardous tripping opportunities, not to mention a huge eyesore.  The solution to uneven concrete is not to ignore it, but to call in the experts at Cantey Foundation Specialists.  We use PolyLevel® for lifting and leveling concrete.  PolyLevel® is a lightweight polyurethane foaming agent that is injected beneath the concrete through small holes.  Once injected, a reaction takes place, expanding the foaming agent and lifting your concrete back into place.  This solution is not only fast acting, but affordable and environmentally friendly!

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.
