Cracking in the exterior bricks of your home is usually one of the first signs of foundation settlement. The soil around your home starts to contract and expand, worsening with ground water. This compromises the stability of your home and starts to cause exterior and interior cracking from the pressure of the soil. Cantey crew members used helical piers, which extend far into the ground to provide structural support to the home, to close the cracks in the bricks and stabilize the house.
Rotted, wet wood in the crawl space of this family home located in Greer, SC was causing sagging floors and safety hazards. After replacing the rotted wood, this family can once again safely enjoy family dinners at their dining room table.
After foundation settlement occurred at this home in Winnsboro SC, the homeowners began to notice exterior cracks in the bricks and interior cracks along the windows and doors of the home. In many cases, this can affect the use of doors and can cause the windows to stick or not function properly. Cantey's Pier System is used to stabilize the home and lift the structure of the home to a stable position. After the piers are installed, the soil around the area is replaced, the cracks in the bricks are closed, and the operation of the doors and windows are improved.
