Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Charlotte noticed a crack in her brick foundation and called Cantey to get a complete inspection and free estimate. Eddie went out to her home and saw that the back left corner had settled and that was causing the cracks. Sixto and his crew installed 6 push piers and were able to stabilize and raise the foundation and you can see the cracks were closed up as well.

Paige H. and her husband just moved into their Columbia, SC home. Being newlyweds, they knew they wanted to purchase a home together but wanted to fix up an older house to save money. They both felt like it would be worth their while to put in some extra work. When they closed on the home, they started on the many projects they wanted to accomplish. One project they knew they had to tackle was the large crack in the brick on the exterior of the home. Unfortunately, they did not know who to call to help them get this solved. Paige was scrolling through Facebook one day when she saw a post about Cantey Foundation Specialists and decided to fill out the form online to be called for a free inspection. Someone from Cantey gave Paige a call and scheduled an appointment for her with System Design Specialist Chip Baxter. Chip arrived on the day of the appointment and did a thorough inspection of not just the exterior of the home but also the crawl space. Everything looked good except for the problem area so Chip sat down with Paige to discuss her options for a solution. Chip explained that Cantey's Push Pier system would not only close up those cracks but permanently stabilize Paige's foundation. The process would begin with the crew digging a few holes around the foundation. Once they reached the footing of the foundation, they would install a bracket to the footing. Then steel tubes would be pushed into the ground until they found competent soil that could properly support the home. When that point is reached, the tubes then push up on the bracket, allowing the foundation to be lifted back to its original position. Paige knew she and her husband needed a solution like this for peace of mind so she scheduled the installation. Production Crew Leader Sixto Lopez, Production Crew Member Mariano Valdovines, and Zenen Dominguez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Paige and her husband are more than pleased with the results and they are happy to be able to move forward with making their house a home. 

Allen S. called Cantey Foundation Specialists because his beautiful Columbia home was settling into the soil, causing displeasing cracks in the foundation and stabilization problems.  System Design Specialist Eddie Mathis suggested the Push Pier System as a solution to Allen's problems.

Production Crew Foreman Jonathan Driggers and Production Crew Members Israel, Ethen, and Ryan installed 8 push piers on one side of Allen's home, which lifted it a quarter inch back into place and stabilized the structure. Now, Allen can sleep peacefully in his home knowing that his foundation will no longer settle into the surrounding soil!

James had added on a Florida room to his home in Columbia, SC, a few years ago. Recently the windows and doors had starting to sag and separate from the frame, causing the windows to stick and not open. The new soil under the added room had begun to settle causing the foundation to move and the room to become unstable. The SmartJacks were placed under the floors, lifting them up and stabilizing the room.
