Photo Album: Push Piers Give New Life to Childhood Home in Williamston, SC

Chris W. has lived in Williamston, SC his whole life and in 2013 he bought his childhood home from his mother to be his forever home. Chris has always felt like this house was home no matter how many other places he rented. He wanted to put the most time, effort, and care into this home. Chris' mother had not fixed many of the problems the home had. Chris felt as though the first fix that needed to be made was the cracks that had formed on the side of the home. It was best for him to start with the foundation and move upwards from there. Chris, however, had no idea what company he could trust to provide the optimum solution and take care of his home. He did an internet search for a local company that could help and found Cantey Foundation Specialist. He was confident in the content he found on the website that this was the company for him. He called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey. Specialist Nathan came out and upon inspection recommended that Chris have Push Piers installed. These Push Piers would be inserted into the ground next to the cracked area deep enough to find competent soil that could handle the weight of the home. Then a heavy-duty steel bracket is placed on the bottom of the foundation footing. The Push Pier then uses the push against the competent soil to raise the foundation of the home. Chris agreed that this was the lasting solution he wanted. Production Team Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Team Member Mariano Valdovines, and Production Team Member Jose Lopez came out and successfully installed the Push Pier system. Chris is now happy that his foundation is stable and he is moving on with other renovations to his home.
