Kathy K. of Gastonia, NC noticed something not quite right in her brick exterior. Stair-step cracking is one of the surest signs of foundation settlement and is very common in brick in concrete block walls. As the settlement continues, vertical cracks may widen or become uneven as wall sections tilt away from each other, indicating more severe displacement. Cantey was able to identify the problem and develop a plan to help Kathy K. to get her family home the stability it needed to give her peace of mind. 

Tim C. is a homeowner in Taylors, SC who has had some problem with his foundation for some time now. His foundation is settling and it is creating cracks in his walls. These cracks are letting in moisture and causing a build up of mold and mildew to appear. Tim said he was tired of constantly fixing it and getting rid of the mold just for it to appear again. After the latest crack width increase he decided that is was time to get help, he called Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free inspection. Specialist Kendall Moore came out to Tim's home and explained to him that the problem he was having was his foundation was settling it was allowing moisture to enter his home. He then explained that Cantey's patented Smart Jack system and Drain Tile was the solution that he was looking for. Team Leader Israel, Team Member Jonathan, and Team Member Austin were quickly dispatched to Tim's home and made efficient work of the situation. "Wow, that amazing. I cant believe that you raised my home that much", Tim said. "I thought I'd never get rid of that crack." Now Tim can focus on repairing his walls without worrying about the crack reappearing or the mold returning. 

Gary K. is a homeowner in Boiling Springs, SC who has had an issue with his home's walls cracking. The issue started a few years ago. Gary patched his walls with new dry wall and paint initially but the problem persisted. Gary was confused at how cracks kept reappearing after he fixed them so many times. The problem isn't with the walls however, the problem is in the home's foundation. One symptom of sagging floors is cracked walls. Gary was tired of dealing with it and after hearing about Cantey Foundation Specialists on his local television station he gave us a call. Specialist Nathan went out to Gary's home and explained to him that his sagging floors were the issue and that our patented Smart Jacks were the solution he was looking for. Team Leader Dallas Darity, Team Member Austin Strong, and Team Member Dallas Elgin were sent to Gary's home and installed Smart Jacks for him. "I am so happy to finally be able to relax now that I know the problem is taken care of," said Gary. "I never would have guessed that it was my floors that were the issue, I could have saved a lot of money."

Supportworks Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems.

Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete.

In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.
