Before & After Photos

Joe V. just bought a home for his family in West Columbia, SC with the intention of fixing it up. It will be the perfect home for his family when he is finished. When he started mapping out a plan, he decided that ultimately he needed to start with the foundation. Fixing this home from the ground up seemed like the best course to take. While watching the news one evening, Joe saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. He decided to give them a call to schedule a free inspection. System Design Specialist Jason Hugg arrived for the scheduled appointment and got to work on the inspection after meeting Joe. Jason determined from the inspection that to solve Joe's problem with cracking foundation, Cantey's Push Pier system needed to be installed. The Push Pier system would begin with the soil being removed where the piers would be driven into the ground in order to find competent soil. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to the competent soil that was found below. These Push Piers can not only give lift to the home but permanently stabilize. Joe believed the Push Pier system would give him a great start to making this the perfect home for his family. Production Team Member Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, and Production Team Member Jose Lopez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Joe is amazed by the results of the Push Pier installation and believes that this house is well on its way to become home to his family.

While trimming the grass, a landscaping company noticed numerous cracks on the exterior of a customer's home.  The landscaping company showed the customer Anthony T. of West Columbia, SC the exterior cracks and referred him to Cantey Foundation Specialists.  Anthony called Cantey the next day to receive a free inspection, and System Design Specialist David McNamee arrived a few days later to diagnose the problem with the correct solution. Specialist David recommended installing four Push Piers to lift the affected corner of the home back into place and correctly stabilizing it.  Production Crew Foreman Ryan Shirley hydraulically pushed the piers to stable soil that could support the weight of the home.  By finding this perfect soil, the piers were able to lift the home back into place thus closing the exterior cracks.  Now, customer Anthony can be confident that his home will no longer have foundation settlement issues!

Johnny, from Lincolnton, GA, had foundation issues in the past, so when his floors started sagging once again he knew immediately that he needed a second opinion. His home was supported by concrete columns and a light-duty post that had settled into the soil causing the floors to sink. We installed three SmartJacks and a Supplemental Beam to raise his floors and further stabilize his home. 

After seeing Cantey's name on a passing Production Crew truck, Steve T. of Cayce, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists because he had a crack on the side of his home's brick foundation.  System Design Specialist John Adams recommended 1 helical and 1 push pier to lift his home back into place and stabilize it for many years to come!

Patti S. has lived in her Cayce, SC for a little over 10 years now. She loves her home however, she plans on moving in the next 5 years to be closer to her children. Shortly after she moved in, she noticed that the chimney was leaning away from the house and other cracks were forming. Patti did not pay this much mind until recently when an inspector looked over her home. She wanted someone to come in and take a look to see what she needed to get fixed before selling. The inspector told her that the chimney and the cracks needed to be repaired if she wanted to get the full value of her home. He suggested she give Cantey Foundation Specialists a call, which she did and set up an appointment. System Design Specialist John Adams came out and did a thorough inspection of the foundation around Patti's home. John determined that the solution that Patti needed to hold the value of her home was Cantey's Push Pier system. First, the soil would be removed where the piers would be driven into the ground in order to find competent soil. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to the competent soil that was found below. This system can not only stabilize foundation but create lift that would rid Patti's home of the unsightly cracks and correct the position of her chimney. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Jose Lopez, and Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system to Patti's home. Patti is finally ready to start putting her home on the market and is looking forward to finally be closer to her children.
