Commercial Foundations Before & After Photos

Linda and Gary S. have lived in their Conway, SC home for about 10 years. After retirement, they chose to leave the colder winters up North to be closer to the beach. This home was a perfect size and fit what they were looking for from the start. Since their home was slightly older than the others they looked at, they had to do some remodeling and fixing. It was just as they had envisioned it until the storms of hurricane Matthew came through. The flooding from the storms caused harm to their foundation and washed out a lot of the soil that was underneath their home. Their home no longer had the proper support and they needed to find a solution. Linda and Gary had friends down the street with a similar problem, who had called Cantey Foundation Specialists. Gary took a look at the work that was done once it was completed and wanted the same for his home. Linda called Cantey the next day and was set up for an appointment with System Design Specialist Grayson Forehand. Grayson did a thorough inspection and found that the SmartJack system would be the right solution for this home. He explained to Linda and Gary that the process of installation would begin with soil removal at the sites for the SmartJacks. Tightly compact crushed stone is then put into this space to create a more stable foundation that will not wash out. A footing is placed on top of the stone, where a SmartJack would be installed and attached to the beam above. Once the SmartJack is secure, it can be adjusted to create lift and stabilization. Linda and Gary felt that this system would protect their home and provide peace of mind. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Austin Boan came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Linda and Gary are confident in the structure of their forever home and recommend Cantey to others in the area that have similar problems.

Susan N. of Eutawville, SC noticed settlement issues throughout her old family home for many years, but she did not worry about it until the home was passed down to her.  Knowing this issue needed to be fixed sooner rather than later, she called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate.  Specialist William Yarbrough inspected the family home inside and out, and he provided Susan with a solution and an estimate.  By installing our patented SmartJack system, we could lift and stabilize the floors back into place.  Subsequentially, this would close any interior cracks and allow Susan peace of mind.  The Production Team, which consisted of Dallas Darity, "Junior" Sotero, and Justin Wheeler, installed seven SmartJacks under the front center span beam in the crawl space.  Now, Susan can enjoy her level floor for the first time in many years!

Francis W. has owned many homes over the years but has finally found a true home in Branchville, SC. He previously moved around because of his position. Working for a company that was nationwide was exciting but he is happy to finally be able to settle down somewhere. As he was getting settle in, he noticed that the floor in the bedroom and living room were sloping. Francis worried that his new found home was in trouble and decided to find a company that could inspect this issue. He searched online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists' website. After reading some information and reviews, Francis decided to call in to make an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Trey Dukes was scheduled for the inspection and met Francis at his home. Trey started his inspection, going through the crawl space and taking note of the places that needed extra support. Afterward, he told Francis that he needed extra support that the SmartJack system could provide. The SmartJack system would begin with soil being removed at the sites where the SmartJacks would be installed. These sections are then filled with tightly compact crushed stone and a footing is installed on top. Each SmartJack is then cut to specifically fit the area in which it will be installed. The SmartJack is attached to the footing and then to the beam above. Once each SmartJack is secure, they are adjusted to create lift and stabilization. Francis really felt like he could trust Trey and his solution so he decided to schedule an installation date. Production Team Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Francis could not be happier that his floors are now level and permanently stable. 

The Marriott at Grand Dunes hotel in Myrtle Beach called Cantey Foundation Specialists because they had numerous tripping hazards throughout their property.  Production Crew Foreman and PolyLEVEL Technician TJ Harden and Crew Member Ryan McPherson injected the polymer foam underneath the sidewalk to stabilize and level the sidewalks.  Now, the Marriott does not have to worry for the safety of their staff and guests, and Cantey was happy to help!

Home Owner Tarra S. called Cantey about her kitchen floor sagging and slumping lower each month. She told us that at one point she would have reoccurring dreams about falling through floors, which made her very anxious to step anywhere near the sinking floor. After we did some inspecting, we found that whoever owned the house before her, had temporary jacks put in under the area to stop the sagging floor above (Key word: Temporary). We knew we could get Tarra some good sleep and set her mind at ease, so Cantey got right to it. A week later, we extra support to each beam under the entire kitchen area, replaced the temporary jacks with our permanent SmartJacks, and added a new support beam under the main sagging area. Tarra called us a week after the job was completed and told us that she could finally get some sleep without having to worry about nightmares of falling through floors.
