Before & After Photos

Margaret M. has owned her Lugoff, SC home for quite some time but has finally decided she needs a change. She has always loved her home but she believes it is time to downsize. She no longer needed the space now that her kids have moved out. Margaret decided to get ahead of the game and make sure all would go well with the inspection before she sold the home. First, she wanted to make sure her foundation and crawl space were in good condition. She searched for a local foundation repair company and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. They looked like a trustworthy company with some great reviews plus the inspection was free. System Design Specialist, Scott Townsend arrived to do a thorough inspection of Margaret's home. He found that there were a few places that Margaret did need some extra support. Cantey's SmartJack system could provide the lift and stabilization that her home needed. Soil would be removed at the sites and then filled with engineer fill. A footing is then installed on top of the fill and underneath the steel beam installed above. The SmartJacks are then sized to be secured in place and then tightened. Margaret decided to hire Cantey so that she could sell her home with no issues. Production Team Leader, Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member, Oscar Mota, and Production Team Member, Francisco Lopez came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Margaret had no trouble selling her home and the new owner loves the fact that there was a transferable warranty with the SmartJack system.

Recently Cantey Foundation Specialists responded to a homeowner in State Park, SC concerned with sagging floors in their kitchen. The System Design Specialists performed a thorough, FREE, inspection and developed a permanent solution that would restore the floor to a level position using Smart Jacks and replacing a supplemental beam. The work was done in March 2023 and the homeowner could not be more pleased. 

Uneven sidewalks pose a significant trip hazard, especially for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues. Additionally, a level sidewalk enhances your property's curb appeal and can potentially increase its value which is why this homeowner in Columbia, SC contacted Cantey Foundation Specialists. 

Lori and Jerry S. are homeowners in Bishopville, SC who are retired and still enjoying the home they built many years ago. They love spending time on their porch watching the cars go by while getting some fresh air. Recently, Jerry noticed that the porch had started to sink making it look unsafe. He worried about their safety when they went outside and wondered how he could get it fixed for his peace of mind. While they were watching the morning news one day they saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. Jerry was impressed that the owner of Cantey himself was on the commercials. He thought that the owner putting his own face on the work was a sign of a company with integrity. Lori and Jerry called in and set up an appointment with System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford. Jamie found after his inspection of the porch, that Cantey's Helical Pier system would be the right solution for this problem. Jamie further explained that the Helical Piers would be inserted into the ground at a depth that would reach the competent soil. This soil would have to be strong enough to hold the weight of the porch. Once this level is reached, a metal bracket is placed on the bottom of the porch. Then using hydraulics, the piers would push against the capable soil and use the bracket to lift the porch back to its original position. This would lift and stabilize the porch for a lasting solution. Production Team Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardner came out and successfully installed the Helical Pier system. Lori and Jerry are back to relaxing on their porch and are thankful to be able to recommend a company with such integrity to all their friends.
