SmartJacks Keep Homeowners' Independence in Goose Creek, SC

Dale H. has lived in his home in Goose Creek, SC for a few years now by himself. His wife passed away and ever since he has had to take care of his home alone. His children try to help as much as possible but Dale insisted on being as independent as possible. On the day of his yearly termite inspection, he was told that one of his piers had fallen in the crawl space. He had thought something was off with the floor in the master bedroom but did not investigate further. Dale knew something needed to be done because he did not want to risk his safety or the safety of his home. At church that Sunday, he asked some of his friends if they had any suggestions of companies he could talk to. They told him that he needed to call Cantey Foundation Specialists and that he would be in good hands. When he called in that Monday morning, he was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist, Kendall Moore. Kendall arrived and went straight to work inspecting the crawl space. He found that the pier was definitely a problem and was glad that Dale had called when he did. Kendall discussed with Dale how Cantey's SmartJack system could ensure the stability of his home. The installation process would begin with soil removal at the sites that would then be filled with engineered fill. Then a footing is installed on the solid base that the fill creates. Each SmartJack is then sized and installed at each site. Once each SmartJack is attached, they are then tightened to create stabilization. Dale believed this was the right decision for safety and his independence. Production Team Leader, Israel Santana, Production Team Member, Zenen Dominguez, and Production Team Member, Brooks Walker came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Dale now has the peace of mind that his home is protected and his safety is intact.

SmartJacks Restore a Cracked Garage in Charleston, SC

Walter Z. is a homeowner in Charleston, SC who spends plenty of time in his garage fixing and woodworking through many projects. He began to notice a crack forming above his garage door. He attempted to fill it several times, which would hold for a while but eventually get right back to the way it was. His neighbor had used Cantey Foundation Specialists for a similar problem and was happy with the work they did on his home. Walter decided he would give them a call and schedule a day for someone to come out and inspect. System Design Specialist Kendall Moore came out to do a free inspection and estimate. Walter explained to Kendall that his expectation for the project was to just have peace of mind that these cracks would not continue to get worse. Kendall did an inspection of the garage and the areas around it concluding that Walter needed to lift his garage with Cantey's SmartJack system to give his garage lift and stabilization. This would give him lift to fill the current crack and prevent any others from forming. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Estevan Lopez came out to Walter's home and installed the SmartJack system which lifted the garage, effectively filling the worrisome crack. Walter is now satisfied with how his garage is looking and tributes Cantey with restoring his favorite place in his home.
