Before & After Photos

This sidewalk in Summerville, SC was restored by Cantey Foundation Specialists using our PolyLevel Injection System. The customers were pleased they no longer had a tripping hazard going into the kitchen will groceries any longer. 

Kevin O. bought his home in Summerville, SC a few years ago to start a family with his wife. It is the perfect home for them and they have already made many memories there. Since they moved in, Kevin noticed that the floor in the living room was sinking. Over the years, it has only gotten worse and with two young children, Kevin knew he needed to protect them as well as their home. Kevin received an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists in the mail and decided to give them a call for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand came out and did a thorough inspection of Kevin's crawl space and foundation. Grayson determined that the area underneath Kevin's living room needed extra support. He explained that the system would start with holes that would be filled with engineered gravel. This would be a solid base that would not sink over time like soil. Then a metal plate would be installed on top of the gravel and a metal beam would be installed over the existing wooden beams. A SmartJack would then be secured to the top beam and the bottom plate. Once the SmartJack is level, it is then adjusted to create the lift that the floor above needs. Kevin felt that this system could give he and his wife the peace of mind they needed in their home. Production Crew Leader Israel Santana, Production Crew Member Nick Rish, and Production Crew Member Stephen Halsall came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Kevin and his wife are confident in the stability of their home and appreciate the peace of mind they have for their children.

This homeowner in Ladson called Cantey Foundation Specialists after noticing some squeaks and a bounce in their floor. Upon inspection of their foundation and the crawl space, we were able to come up with a solution. This is going to prevent much bigger problems in the future for the home owner.

When her tenants moved out, Pauline L. of Goose Creek, SC inspected her rental home for any surface damages, but she found foundation issues instead.  While walking throughout the home, she realized that the floors were sagging and unlevel throughout the first floor.  After researching online, Pauline called Cantey Foundation Specialist for a free estimate.  System Design Specialist Kendall Moore further inspected the home in not only the interior of the home, but also the exterior and crawl space areas.  Specialist Kendall suggested to Pauline that she allowed Cantey to install our patented SmartJack solution.  Pauline chose Cantey Foundation Specialists because she trusted that we would complete the job correctly and in a timely manner.  Production Crew Foreman Sixto Lopez and his crew came out to install twenty-four SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the rental home.  Now, Pauline has the confidence to rent to new tenants without the worry of settlement or foundation issues. 

Cheryl J. has owned her home in Goose Creek, SC for only a few years. When she bought the house there were no foundation issues that were seen by the inspector. As time has gone on, she has noticed more and more sloping in her foyer and had noticed cracks forming on the walls. Cheryl's staircase is in the foyer and she worried about her children's safety while going up to their rooms. She wanted the integrity and safety brought back to her home. She searched for a local company online that she felt like she could trust to do the work. Cheryl came across Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in to make an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand came out and did a thorough inspection. He showed Cheryl the pictures of the beams under her home that were failing. Grayson explained that her foundation just needed a little help holding the weight and that Cantey's patented SmartJack system could do just that. Sections of soil would be removed at the sites where the SmartJacks would be installed. These holes would be filled with tightly compacted crushed stone and a footing placed on top. This would make the solid foundation that would hold the weight of the home and be lasting. On top of the footing, a SmartJack would be installed and attached to a long galvanized steel beam that would run along the top of the crawl space. Once attached to the beam, the SmartJacks would all be adjusted to create lift and stabilize the floor above. Cheryl felt like this was the solution she wanted and would keep her family safe. Production Team Leader Dallas Darity, Production Team Member Dallas Elgin, and Production Team Member David Watson came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Cheryl now does not have to worry about her children's safety and is thankful to Cantey for giving her the peace of mind she needed.
