Before & After Photos

Jerry & Julia S. of Clemson, SC noticed moisture problems in their crawl space and some sagging areas in their kitchen and dining room floors.  After researching online, they decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate and inspection.  Specialist Nathan Bailey inspected both the crawl space and the interior of Jerry and Julia's home, and Specialist Nathan found that the moisture problems in the crawl space were rotting the wood through the subfloor in some areas.  Knowing that this problem could only worsen, Specialist Nathan recommended that they install our patented CleanSpace solution and replace most of the wood rotten beams.  The worst area (shown in the picture) was the space between their eat-in kitchen and the steps down to their living room.  This wood beam supported the majority of the kitchen and was completely saturated and rotted.  Production Crew led by Team Leader Israel Santana replaced all the rotten wood beams and joists, and then encapsulated the crawl space with a thick vapor barrier that surpasses our competitors.  Along with a dehumidifier and sump pump, Jerry & Julia S. no longer have to worry about the moisture in their crawl space causing any problems!

Junius S. has owned his home in Pickens, SC for over 20 years now. It has been a good home to himself and his family but he has decided to build a home. He and his wife want to down size now that they are empty nesters and they have always dreamed of building their own home. Before they leave though, Junius wants to make sure his home is a fresh start for the new family that will ultimately move into their home. The floor in the living room has always sloped slightly but has gotten worse over time. Junius decided he would find a company to fix the foundation so that was not a worry for the next family. His neighbor had foundation problems in the past and Cantey Foundation Specialists did an excellent job. Junius called into Cantey and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Katherine Dillon. When Katherine came out and did her inspection she found that what Junius needed to solve his foundation issues was Cantey's patented SmartJack system. Katherine further explained that soil would be removed at each of the SmartJack locations along the crawl space. Tightly compacted crushed stone would fill these holes and a footing would be placed on top of that creating a stable foundation. Galvanized steel beams specifically cut for Junius's home would then be attached to the footing and then attached to a beam that would run along the top of the crawl space. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Junius is now building his new home and putting the finishing touches on his for a new family to make memories in.

John G. had a good amount of rotten wood under his house, so we replaced all the rotten joists and flooring. 

Gene and Melissa R. are homeowners in Liberty, SC and have been for a while. They currently plan to stay in their home as they still have two teenagers at home. Having two young boys is not easy as homeowners that want to take care of their home. Gene and Melissa have had to do many repairs to their home due to their rough and tumble boys. When the bathroom door would not shut, Gene and Melissa imagined it was just more damage that their children had caused. They had someone come out and look at it that told them that the problem was actually foundation related because the floor was sagging. While watching the news, they saw an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the appointment and did an inspection of the crawl space and problem area. Ryan found that Gene and Melissa just needed some extra support which Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. 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 their 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. Gene and Melissa felt like this would be a lasting solution and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Gene and Melissa are back to making sure their boys do not tear up the rest of the house but with the peace of mind that their foundation is strong.
