Before & After Photos

Elizabeth and Sammy C. of Williston, SC had a reoccuring crack that would appear above one of their doorways in their hallway.  They tried to patch it and repaint, but within a few months the crack would reappear.  Knowing that this could end up being a serious foundation issue, Sammy researched into foundation repair companies in their area.  After talking and setting up an appointment with Cantey's upbeat and knowledgeable call center, they received a free inspection and estimate from Specialist Jason Hardage.  Specialist Jason explained that the cracks were caused by faulty support beams and posts in their crawl space.  Team Leader Junior Tamayo and his crew installed four SmartJack crawl space jacks to lift the floor back into place and stabilize the home for many years to come.  Now, Elizabeth and Sammy can repatch and repaint their hallway for the last time because the drywall crack will not come back with the efficient SmartJack system!

Brian S. of Kingstree, SC had excessive moisture in his crawl space that caused the subfloor to swell.  Every time Brian walked through his bedroom, he could see a hump forming underneath the flooring.  Stumbling across our advertisement in the Money Mailer in his mailbox, he decided to give Cantey Foundation Specialists a call for a free estimate.  Our Appointment Center Representative Lauren Campbell had an available appointment for Brian within the week.  Specialist Eddie Mathis inspected the crawl space and foundation of Brian's home, and he took numerous pictures to exemplify the damage.  High levels of moisture caused the structural wood to rot, disintegrate, and become moldy.  The best solution was to tear out all the bad wood, replace with our treated lumber, spray other affected areas with Mold X, and rebuild the subfloor.  Cantey's crew led by Team Leader Matt Garcia were able to tear our and replace a whole room within two days!  Now, Brian does not have to worry about falling through the floor or having major health issues because of the mold in his crawl space.

Manuel was experiencing soft, bouncy floors in his home in Santee, SC. Upon inspection, we quickly realized the floors in his home were suffering damage from wood rot and needed to be replaced.  

Josephine and Eric googled Cantey Foundation Specialists and called for their free estimate.  Upon arrival, CFS specialist Grayson Forehand was able to help Josephine and Eric with their concerns about their crawlspace.  The insulation had fallen from the ceiling in the crawlspace, and the humidity was above average, which allowed mold to grow.  The solution?  To rid of loose insulation, reinsulate, wrap the piers, and encapsulate the whole crawlspace.  Now Josephine and Eric have no worries about their crawlspace!

Linda and Gary S. have lived in their Conway, SC home for about 10 years. After retirement, they chose to leave the colder winters up North to be closer to the beach. This home was a perfect size and fit what they were looking for from the start. Since their home was slightly older than the others they looked at, they had to do some remodeling and fixing. It was just as they had envisioned it until the storms of hurricane Matthew came through. The flooding from the storms caused harm to their foundation and washed out a lot of the soil that was underneath their home. Their home no longer had the proper support and they needed to find a solution. Linda and Gary had friends down the street with a similar problem, who had called Cantey Foundation Specialists. Gary took a look at the work that was done once it was completed and wanted the same for his home. Linda called Cantey the next day and was set up for an appointment with System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand. Grayson did a thorough inspection and found that the SmartJack system would be the right solution for this home. He explained to Linda and Gary that the process of installation would begin with soil removal at the sites for the SmartJacks. Tightly compact crushed stone is then put into this space to create a more stable foundation that will not wash out. A footing is placed on top of the stone, where a SmartJack would be installed and attached to the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it can be adjusted to create lift and stabilization. Linda and Gary felt that this system would protect their home and provide peace of mind. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Linda and Gary are confident in the structure of their forever home and recommend Cantey to others in the area that have similar problems.
