Orin G. of Gilbert, SC called Cantey Foundation Specialists after his crawl space jacks began to settle, which was installed by a different company. System Design Specialist Alex Lovette explained to Orin that although our SmartJacks and the competitor's crawl space jacks look similar, they are quite different in the permanent solution. For one, the competitor's crawl space jack does not fix the real problem: the soil. With Cantey's SmartJack System, the SmartJack is put on top of our "Bulb of Influence," which is a 2x2x2 hole filled with gravel. This gravel evenly distributes the weight of the home, and it prevents the SmartJack from settling into the soil. Our competitor's crawl space jack put their system just on top of a concrete block, which will continue to settle. With our patented system, Orin can rest assured that our SmartJacks will never settle causing sagging floors and cracks in the drywall!

Ester & Steven H. of West Columbia, SC wanted to fix cracks found throughout the exterior of their home, and they also wanted to prevent future foundation issues. After hearing Cantey Foundation Specialists on 107.5 THE GAME on the radio, Ester called to make an appointment for the free inspection. System Design Specialist James Davis examined not only the exterior of their home, but also the interior and crawl space. Specialist James' solution for Ester & Steven was to push seven piers deep into the ground to help lift and stabilize their home back into place. Now, Ester & Steven no longer have the ugly visible cracks in the exterior of their home, but they can also be confident that foundation issues is a worry of the past.
Sonja A. just moved into her West Columbia, SC home a few months ago. Ever since then she has tried to do a major overhaul of the front yard. The previous owner had let all the bushes get overgrown and hardly ever cut the grass. She wanted it to be a nice area since she was finally getting the front porch she always wanted. After all her landscaping was in order, there was one more aspect that needed to be cleaned up and that was the driveway. It had unsightly cracks and was sinking in different places. She had no idea who to call but she knew that she wanted to do something about it. Sonja found her landscaping company through HomeAdvisor so she decided to go the same route when finding a company she could trust to fix her concrete slabs. She found Cantey Foundation Specialists and called in to set up an appointment. When System Design Specialist Alex Lovette arrived for the appointment, Sonja showed him the areas she was concerned with. After his inspection, Alex explained to Sonja that the most lasting solution would be Cantey's PolyLevel process. The PolyLevel process would begin with small holes being drilled through the concrete. Then, a liquid PolyLevel would be injected underneath the concrete slab. Because it is a liquid, it can fill all the voids that the soil has left underneath. The liquid then hardens after a 15 minute period and will create lift as well as stabilize the slab. Sonja was confident in what the PolyLevel process could do for her driveway and set up a time for installation. Production Team Leader Jeremey Wilson and Production Team Member Nick Collins came out and successfully injected the PolyLevel process. Sonja is thrilled that her front yard is finally just the way she wanted it and now spends most of her free time on her front porch.
Joe V. just bought a home for his family in West Columbia, SC with the intention of fixing it up. It will be the perfect home for his family when he is finished. When he started mapping out a plan, he decided that ultimately he needed to start with the foundation. Fixing this home from the ground up seemed like the best course to take. While watching the news one evening, Joe saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. He decided to give them a call to schedule a free inspection. System Design Specialist Jason Hugg arrived for the scheduled appointment and got to work on the inspection after meeting Joe. Jason determined from the inspection that to solve Joe's problem with cracking foundation, Cantey's Push Pier system needed to be installed. The Push Pier system would begin with the soil being removed where the piers would be driven into the ground in order to find competent soil. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to the competent soil that was found below. These Push Piers can not only give lift to the home but permanently stabilize. Joe believed the Push Pier system would give him a great start to making this the perfect home for his family. Production Team Member Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, and Production Team Member Jose Lopez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Joe is amazed by the results of the Push Pier installation and believes that this house is well on its way to become home to his family.
