Often times in older homes, the floors start to sag and become soft or bouncy which later creates foundation cracks in the walls and could even put enough pressure on the walls causing them to cave. In this house in Charleston, SC, Cantey crew members were able to provide enough support to raise the floors back up by adding a supplemental steel beam across the entire crawl space and assembling adjustable SmartJacks along the beam. The jacks were adjusted to raise and position the home in its original place and provide enough foundation support to the stabilize the home.
The difference between a crawl space and the CleanSpace is the peace of mind for homeowners. Don't live above and infested crawlspace, get it clean today!
The Cantey Crew gave these Irmo, SC front steps a face lift.
Dan T. of Cheraw, SC started noticing cracks in the drywall off the corners of the doors in his home. He also found that the doors and windows in his home began to stick when he would try to open them. Dan knew this was a sign of foundation settling, so he called Cantey for a free inspection before the damages became worse. Cantey Production Crew Leader Jonathon Lowder and crew entered his crawlspace and immediately saw that the existing concrete columns were settling and causing the walls to crack and the floors to sink. The crew installed six SmartJacks under the home, which lifted the walls back to the appropriate height and provided a more structural footing to level the floors in Dan’s home. Now, the cracks on his walls are sealed and he can open his doors and windows once again.
Jack of Columbia, SC, noticed the concrete on his porch was sinking and began to look aesthetically unappealing. Jack contacted us for a free estimate and our team talked him through the benefits of using our PolyLevel Solution to raise his sunken concrete. He liked the fact that the solution is environmentally friendly as it does not deteriorate underground and that he would not have to replace or repour any new concrete. After the crew lifted his concrete, he was very pleased. It was installed quickly and caused no interruption in his daily routine as he was able to walk on it shortly after (just 15 minutes!) installation was completed.
