Before & After Photos

Brad H. moved into his Simpsonville, SC home about 10 years ago He and his family love their home and the neighborhood. The kids are always playing outside with all the other kids that live around them. One day while playing some flag football with all the neighbors, Brad’s next door neighbor noticed the huge crack on his foundation. His neighbor suggested that he call Cantey Foundation Specialists because the crack was a serious issue and he could at least get a free estimate. Brad called in that Monday and scheduled an appointment. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the inspection and looked over the problem areas as well as the crawl space. Ryan determined that Brad really needed to stabilize his foundation, otherwise it would only get worse. Ryan explained that Cantey had a solution called the Push Pier system that would lift and stabilize the foundation. The process would begin with the crew digging holes around the foundation. A bracket would then be placed at the footing and then piers would be driven into the earth until they found the more competent soil. Once they reached this point, the piers would push against the bracket to lift the foundation back into place. This also creates permanent stability for the foundation. Brad knew he needed the work done and believed that Cantey was the right company for the job. The installation was scheduled and Production Crew Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Crew Member Robert Gardner, and Production Crew Member Justin Stillinger installed the Push Pier system effectively. Brad now has a permanently stabilized foundation and no longer has to worry about his family home.

Karl W. of Rock Hill, SC was planning on selling his home; however, after looking in his crawl space, he knew he needed to fix the termite-ridden and rotten wood rim joists.  After seeing Cantey's name in the local Money Mailer, Karl called for a free inspection and estimate.  System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford examined the crawl space, and he had a simple solution: replace all the rotten wood with our treated lumber.  Production Crew Foreman Dallas Darity and his crew were able to do this in a timely manner and at a reasonable price!  Now, Karl can have the peace of mind to begin the process of selling his home.

Installing space insulation during your encapsulation can greatly reduce the energy costs of your family home. 

Using Cantey Foundation Specialists before, Tom B. called us again because he wanted to stabilize one side of his house.  An addition to the home later on, the garage and extra room were not fully stabilized.  Although this section of the house only sunk about a quarter inch into the ground, Tom B. wanted to stop further settling.  Four push piers were installed raising the house up the quarter inch, and PolyLEVEL was pumped horizontally beneath the floor to fill any voids.  Tom's house is now fully stabilized, and he does not have to worry about his home settling in the future!
