SmartJacks Give Single Father Peace of Mind in Clemson, SC
Challenge
Sam H. lives with his family in the home he owns in Clemson, SC. One of his children has a chronic illness that requires a lot of his attention. As a single father, it is hard to juggle the needs of his children and taking care of his home. Home repairs have gone by the wayside because he often has more serious issues to deal with. Unfortunately, Sam's children took note that their bedroom floor was sloping. Sam was worried about the safety of his children above all else and took action immediately. He did a search online for a local company that did crawl space repair. Sam found Cantey Foundation Specialists and called in to schedule an appointment. When System Design Specialist Grant Davis arrived, Sam expressed his concern and how he needed a lasting solution to fix this problem right the first time. Grant did a thorough inspection of the crawl space and found that the support underneath was not adequate. Grant suggested to Sam that the best solution was Cantey's SmartJack system. The SmartJack system would give Sam the support and peace of mind he desperately needed.
Solution
The installation 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. Sam believed that Cantey had his best interest at heart and scheduled an installation date. Production Team Leader Jonathan Lowder, Production Team Member Matthew Kelley, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and productively installed the SmartJack system. Sam no longer has to worry about the safety of his children in their home and is thankful to Cantey for giving him the peace of mind he needed.
