SmartJacks Improve Bakers Kitchen in Gaffney, SC

Cheri B. has owned her home in Gaffney, SC for 20 years now. Since retiring, Cheri has found different activities to do at home and out with friends. She joined a church group that has introduced her to knitting and her new favorite, baking. Cheri had baked a few times over the years but it was never a regular hobby. She loves baking different pies, cookies, and cakes for church fundraisers or just to share with friends and neighbors. Cheri's church was having their annual Fall Festival so she was hard at work in her kitchen until her foot slipped on her sloping floor and all her hard work was ruined. Luckily, she was alright but she worried about her safety as she enjoyed her favorite past time. While watching the news that evening, she saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. She felt like Cantey was the right company to call and made an appointment the next day. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway came out and did an inspection of Cheri's floor and crawl space. Ryan found that Cheri needed extra support and lift that could be provided by Cantey's patented SmartJack system. The SmartJack system begins with soil removal at the places that the SmartJacks will be installed. These removal sites are then filled with tightly compact crush stone. A footing is then placed on top of this stone where the SmartJack will be attached. Once the top of the SmartJack has been attached to the beam above, it is adjusted to create lift and stability. Production Team Leader Dallas Darity, Production Team Member Dallas Elgin, Production Team Member David Watson came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system to Cheri's home. Cheri is now underway with yet another baking project but no longer has to fear about her safety while she is hard at work.

Sinking Garage Floor Lifted Back into Place in Gaffney, SC

There were numerous tripping hazards in Adam P.'s garage in Gaffney, SC, and he wanted them to be fixed as soon as possible.  He researched online and found CanteyCanFixIt.com and learned about our patented PolyLevel process.  Specialist Nathan Bailey inspected his garage and driveway, and Specialist Nathan explained that the PolyLevel polymer in pumped underneath the concrete slab to raise it back into place.  It would also be stabilized so that the concrete slab could not settle again because of soil erosion.  Ecstatic with the results, Adam can now enjoy his garage without the worry of tripping hazards!

SmartJacks Teach the Importance of Repairs in North Augusta, SC

Rebecca R. moved into her North Augusta, SC home almost 10 years ago and has no plans to move. She has always loved the area being able to enjoy both South Carolina and Georgia. She has plenty to do between the two states and loves keeping herself busy. Often because she is away, household chores and repairs fall by the wayside. When she was at home recently, she noticed that her living room floor had begun to sag. This was a wake-up call that she needed to protect the biggest investment she has. She did some research on the internet and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. After reading some great reviews, Rebecca called in and made an appointment for an inspection. System Design Specialist John Adams came out and did an inspection on the entire crawl space. John found that Rebecca needed extra support that could be provided by Cantey's patented SmartJack system. The SmartJack system installation would start with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These holes would then be filled with tightly compact crushed stone that would be the solid ground for the footing. The SmartJack would be specifically cut for Rebecca's crawl space and attached to the footing as well as the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it is then adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Rebecca is more involved now with her home repairs and recommends Cantey to others that are having crawl space issues.

Helical Pier Lift in Pineville, NC

London V. of North Augusta, SC scheduled a FREE inspection and estimate with Cantey Foundation Specialists. It was determined that the family home would benefit from helical piers. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. In many scenarios, these foundation piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation.

With knowledge of local soil conditions, helical piers can be an ideal solution because the installing contractor will know exactly how deep to install the piers to reach a stable soil layer that can support your home. If your goals are the following, helical piers are a good choice:

  • You need the best opportunity to lift your home back to its original position.
  • Lighter structures, such as decks or stoops, are in need of stabilization.
  • You'd like minimal disturbance during installation.
  • You're looking for a fast, effective installation.
  • Restoring your property value is a priority.

Once your helical piers have been installed, you can count on your problem to be solved -- once and for all!
