Before & After Photos

The chimney on this house had begun to pull away. The homeowners were worried that it might eventually lean enough to cause it to fall over - and they were right. We installed two piers on either side of the chimney in order to lift it and make it stop retracting from the home.

After the flood, Julia R. from Camden called Cantey Foundation Specialists with a whole array of problems.  The first project?  Draining her crawl space of any water, decreasing the humidity so living organisms would not grow, stabilizing her floor through our SmartJack system, and encapsulating her whole crawl space to prevent further damage of rotting or mold.  

David P. noticed moisture, erosion, standing water, mildew and mold throughout his crawlspace in his Camden home, so he called Cantey Foundation Specialists.  Cantey was happy to help find the solutions to David's problems by installing SmartJacks and a crawl space liner!

James K. of Camden, SC and his wife Harvee were both bothered by the bounciness of their kitchen and living room floors. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford performed a full home inspection for free, and he left them with a solid solution and estimate.  A few weeks later, Cantey's Production Crew led by Foreman Israel Santana installed four SmartJacks and 20 ft of Supplemental Beam, which replaced the insufficient concrete piers, and lifted and leveled the living room and kitchen back into place.  James and Harvee now can walk through their kitchen and living room without the fear of the floor falling underneath their feet.

John H. of Camden, SC's home showed the effects of the October flood.  Cracks appeared along the exterior of his home because of the soil displacement and eventual settlement.  Thinking it couldn't get worse, John wanted to fix more pertinent problems first.  However over the past eight months, it has continually gotten worse and worse causing him to take action. He also had plans for his daughter to inherit the property in the future. John called Cantey Foundation Specialists, and shortly after System Design Specialist Luke Stemple inspected the interior, exterior, and crawl space of the home.  Specialist Luke recommended installing ten Helical Piers to reach deep beneath the home to find the most stable soil. Production Foreman Ryan Shirley and his crew installed the ten Helical Piers around the problematic areas.  Because of the strength of the helical piers and the supporting soil, the home was able to be lifted and stabilized back into place thus closing the cracks.  Now John can be confident in leaving a safe home for his daughter.
