Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

Richard N. is a homeowner in Columbia, SC and loves the area he lives in. He bought the home so his children could be close to their schools. When Richard bought the home not that long ago there were not many improvements he had to make. Recently though his living room floor began to worry him. It is the place where his kids often play and watch television. The floor began to slope making Richard feel like his family was not safe in their living room. One night while watching the evening news he saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. The next day he called in and scheduled a free, no obligation inspection just to see what was going on. System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford came out and did an inspection and found that a beam was beginning to fail underneath the living room. Specialist Jamie told Richard that the solution he needed to protect his family and his home was Cantey's patented SmartJack system. The SmartJack system would be installed underneath the failing beam to give it lift and stabilize the floor above. A section of the soil would be removed and filled with tightly compacted stone. A footing would then be placed on top of this and connected with a galvanized steel column that would be leveled to fit perfectly under the wooden beam. The steel column would then be connected to the wooden beam and the column could be adjusted to create lift. Production Team Leader Trey Dukes, Production Team Member Estevan Lopez, and Production Team Member Brooks Walker came out to Richard's home and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Richard is now no longer worried about his kids playing in the living room and is thankful to Cantey for the best, lasting solution.

Jerry's home in Columbia, SC, was having some foundation problems, including sagging floors, cracks in his concrete and issues with piers. We installed SmartJacks under his home to lift and level the floors which will stabilize his home and help level the floors and walls. 

University of South Carolina Main Campus called Cantey Foundation Specialists because their sidewalks outside of a few buildings were settling.  This caused tripping hazards and bad ascetic.  Production Crew Foreman, TJ Harden and crew member, Ryan McPherson had the solution to USC's problems: the patented PolyLEVEL process. By injecting the PolyLEVEL polymer beneath the concrete slabs, the sidewalks were leveled and lifted to the correct place.  Now, USC has both aesthetically pleasing and safe sidewalks and patios for their buildings!

Richard W. has lived in his Columbia, SC since he was married long ago. His wife passed away a few years ago and ever since he has continuously been making improvements to his home in the hopes to leave it to his children one day. Richard was always a handyman and often does most of the fixing himself, however, when it comes to his crawl space he just cannot get into it. He knew that his kitchen floor was sloping and probably needed better stabilization. On the way to the grocery store, he heard a radio commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. He called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Jason Hugg. When Jason arrived, he began his inspection and found that the best solution for Richard would be Cantey's SmartJack system. The installation 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 Richard's crawl space would then be placed on top of the footing and attached to the top of the crawl space. These steel beams or SmartJacks could then be adjusted to lift the kitchen floor to its proper position. Production Team Leader Trey Dukes, Production Team Member Estevan Lopez, and Production Team Member Brooks Walker came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Richard is pleased that he finally found a company that he could trust to get the job done right the first time.

Scott A. has only lived in his Cayce, SC home for a few years now but loves the area he is living in. He had primarily lived in the Upstate of South Carolina until a job promotion brought him to Cayce. When he moved, Scott decided to buy a small home as an investment and in the hopes that he would stay there. Being a homeowner is more than just buying a home though, there are many repairs and upkeep in having a home. When he moved in, he noticed that the living room floor was sloping but decided it would probably not get worse. Unfortunately, Scott was wrong and he decided to start looking for a company that could help. While watching the local news, he saw a commercial for Cantey Foundation Specialists. He called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist Jamie Beresford. Jamie came out and did an inspection of the crawl space before sitting down with Scott. Jamie explained that the sloping floor was due to the original piers not being able to handle the weight of the home. They needed extra support that Cantey's 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 Rebecca's 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. Scott was confident in the SmartJack system and it being a lasting solution for this problem. Production Team Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Team Member David Watson, Production Team Member Francisco Lopez, and Production Team Member Oscar Mota came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Scott no longer has to worry about his sloping floor and knows to not take any problems with his home lightly from now on.
