Before & After Photos

Mary B. has owned her home in Spartanburg, SC for many years and recently decided it was the best place for her daughter to raise her family. Of course, she wanted a full inspection done on the home to ensure the safety of her daughter and grandchildren. She was alerted to the sloping floor in her bathroom and how this floor would only get worse over time. Her husband suggested that they call Cantey Foundation Specialists and get a free no obligation inspection. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway came out to do the inspection for Mary and found that her foundation was beginning to sink. The solution to Mary's problem was the simple installation of Cantey's SmartJack system. There would be holes dug along the crawl space that would be filled with tightly compacted stone that would be a resting place for a perfectly sized structural footing. These structural footings would then be attached to a steel beam that would be attached to the home and run the length of the crawl space. This would create solid foundation support for the floors of this home. Mary agreed that this was the right plan for her home and her family. Production Team Leader Dallas Darity, Production Team Member Dallas Elgin, and Production Team Member David Watson came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Mary is now helping her daughter and family move into a safe and structurally sound home thanks to the Cantey team.

This crawlspace had high moisture causing a mildew smell in the home. The homeowners were interested in dehumidifier, vapor barrier, french drains to permanently find a solution to their moisture problems. 

Cracks are not uncommon but can be worrisome and are certainly an eye sore. They are often signs of foundation issues such as settling or sagging floors.

This homes sagging floors were corrected with our SmartJack system. It will save you money in the long run to have these problems looked at as soon as they appear.

Vivian M. moved into her Greenville, SC home a few years ago. She appreciated that the home had a lot of history, 120 years to be exact. The charm of this older home was exactly what she was looking for. Of course, she knew it would take some work to get it into better shape. One issue that concerned her more than others was the uneven floors. Vivian asked around, trying to find a local company she could trust. Someone recommended Cantey Foundation Specialists because of the work they had done on their home. Vivian called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey. Nathan did a thorough inspection before sitting down with Vivian. He explained that extra jacks had been placed long ago but they were only a temporary support. He showed her what Cantey's SmartJack system could do for her home. The SmartJack system would begin with holes being dug under the beam where the jacks would go. Then a engineered gravel would fill these holes to form a stable base that would not sink like soil. Then a metal plate is installed on top of the gravel and a steel beam is installed along the existing beams. The SmartJack is then attached to the top beam and the bottom plate. After the jack is level, it can then be adjusted to create lift. Vivian was impressed with the system and knew it would be a lasting solution for her home. Production Crew Leader Israel Santana, Production Crew Member Nick Rish, and Production Crew Member Zenen Dominguez came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Vivian now has the level floors she needed to refurbish the wooden floors in her historic home.
