Cantey Foundation Specialists Before & After Photos

Our PolyLevel lift outside in Camden, SC by the Cantey Foundation Specialists team lifted and leveled this sidewalk that had sunk where it meets in the Harbage in only a day. 

Allison M. just bought her home in Camden, SC and is excited to be a first-time homeowner. She has dreamed of finally owning a home and there was no better place than her hometown to have one. She knew it would need some repairs so she started with the foundation and crawl space. Allison's dad always taught her that the foundation and crawl space of a home needed to be taken care of. Allison knew of a company in town called Cantey Foundation Specialists and that they provided free inspections. She gave them a call and made an appointment with System Design Specialist Chip Baxter. When Chip arrived he did a thorough inspection before sitting down with Allison. He explained to her that her crawl space had some moisture damage. This damage would only get worse unless she did something to prevent it. Cantey's CleanSpace system could help her protect her home. The CleanSpace system would begin with the floor, walls, and piers being wrapped or covered in a thick material. This material would separate the home and crawl space from the ground and moisture. The material is then secured with spray foam adhesive to create a complete barrier. This barrier would keep the crawl space dry and prevent further damage from moisture. Allison knew she needed to protect her new home so she scheduled the installation. Production Crew Leader Estevan Lopez, Production Crew Member Jonathan Whitaker, and Production Crew Member Phillip Sullivan came out and effectively installed the CleanSpace system. Allison is glad she worked with Cantey to improve her home and allow her to move forward with other home renovations.

Peggy and James J. have lived in Camden, SC all their lives and have owned their home there for many years. It is the home they will pass along to their children and where they plan to stay. There are not many aspects of the home that ever bothered Peggy except for the floor in the master bathroom. The floor just seemed to keep sinking until there was a large gap between the floor and the baseboard. This gap bothered her until she finally decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists and schedule an inspection. Cantey is a company located in her hometown and she trusted that they would give her an honest scope of the work that needed to be done. System Design Specialist Kory Sanders arrived for the appointment and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Afterward, he sat down with Peggy and James to discuss a plan he had drawn up. Cantey's SmartJack system would provide the extra support needed to lift and stabilize the floor of the bathroom. 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. Peggy and James believed in this solution and wanted it done quickly. Production Crew Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Crew Member Francisco Lopez, and Production Crew Member Phillip Sullivan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Peggy and James no longer have that pesky gap in their bathroom and they have since referred several of their friends to Cantey.

Jonathon L. of Chapin, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists because his garage concrete slab had sunk over 3 inches.  The stairs to enter his home via garage were not even touching the floor anymore, so he had two wood blocks to hold it up temporarily.  Using our patented PolyLEVEL system, Cantey was able to raise the concrete slab to the correct level.  It also stabilized the garage, so that the slab will never settle again!

Lisa C.'s home in Chapin, SC had drainage problems in the crawl space.  During her free inspection with Cantey Foundation Specialists, our System Design Specialist James Davis realized that the original sump pump was inadequate and faulty.  With our CleanSpace encapsulation system and SmartSump replacement, Lisa no longer has to worry about drainage or moisture issues in her crawl space!
