Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

Gene and Melissa R. are homeowners in Liberty, SC and have been for a while. They currently plan to stay in their home as they still have two teenagers at home. Having two young boys is not easy as homeowners that want to take care of their home. Gene and Melissa have had to do many repairs to their home due to their rough and tumble boys. When the bathroom door would not shut, Gene and Melissa imagined it was just more damage that their children had caused. They had someone come out and look at it that told them that the problem was actually foundation related because the floor was sagging. While watching the news, they saw an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to give them a call for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the appointment and did an inspection of the crawl space and problem area. Ryan found that Gene and Melissa just needed some extra support which Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system installation would start with soil being removed at the sites for the SmartJacks. These holes would then be filled with tightly compact crushed stone that would be the solid ground for the footing. The SmartJack would be specifically cut for their crawl space and attached to the footing as well as the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it is then adjusted to create lift and stabilization for the floor above. Gene and Melissa felt like this would be a lasting solution and scheduled the installation. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Gene and Melissa are back to making sure their boys do not tear up the rest of the house but with the peace of mind that their foundation is strong.

Cindy P. is a homeowner in Hartwell, GA who enjoys the porch on the bottom of her home. She is able to read the books she loves and knit out in the fresh air while still having some shade. Because she spends so much of her time on the porch she noticed when the top of it started to lean. This happened over time but recently started to concern Cindy. She did an internet search on her issue and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. She called in the next day and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Dallas Rabideaux. When Dallas arrived for the scheduled appointment Cindy took him over to the problem area of the porch. After the inspection, Dallas came to the conclusion that Cindy needed Cantey's patented SmartJack system to lift and stabilize the porch area. Dallas further explained that the process would start by removing sections of soil where the tightly compacted crushed stone would fill to create a stable base for the footing to be placed on top. A steel beam that would be specifically cut to fit under the porch would then be placed on top of the footing and attached to the top of the add-on. These steel beams or SmartJacks could then be adjusted to lift the add-on to its proper position. Production Team Leader Israel Santana and Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system to Cindy's porch. Cindy is once again relaxing on her porch, no longer having to worry about its stabilization.

Sagging Floors in Chesterfield, SC fixed by a foundation lift using Smartjacks. 

Michelle H. bought her home in Hartsville, SC a few years ago and loves it. She went to college in Hartsville and since then has considered it home. She found a great job and decided to purchase a home right outside of town. Shortly after moving in, she started to notice the floor sagging in the living room and a drop in the guest bathroom floor. She knew these problems were not going to fix themselves and began her search for just the right company to help. Being a single woman who does not know much about home repair, Michelle wanted to find a company that she could trust. On the radio one morning, she heard an advertisement for Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to call in. She was scheduled for an appointment and even received a packet in the mail with information on Cantey's products and about the System Design Specialist John Adams who was coming to her home. Before John arrived, Michelle already felt comfortable which made the inspection easier. John went into her crawl space and found the places where the floors were sagging. When he completed the inspection, he sat down with Michelle to tell her about Cantey's patented SmartJack system. Sections of soil would be removed where each SmartJack would be installed and filled with tightly compacted crushed stone. This stone would create a solid foundation for the footing that would be placed on top of it, then a galvanized steel beam, a SmartJack, would be attached to the footing. Each steel beam would be attached to a long beam that would run along the top of the crawl space to give the floor lift. The SmartJacks would then be adjusted to create lift and a stable foundation. Michelle appreciated how knowledgeable John was and decided the SmartJack system was right for her. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jesus Gonzalez, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member Zenen Dominguez came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Michelle could not be happier with the results and feels safer in her own home thanks to Cantey's solution.

Patrick B. called Cantey Foundation Specialists because he (and his renters) were concerned about the kitchen floor falling in.  Using 4x4s, Patrick believed this was support the floor sufficiently; however, he realized that he needed a more permanent solution so that he could have peace of mind.  Cantey installed 4 SmartJacks at the height of almost 7 feet tall in the basement underneath the kitchen.  Now, Patrick has a more durable solution for his problems!
