Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Eddie J. has lived in his Sumter, SC home for many years now. It was the home he specifically designed for his wife and kids. He has loved his home ever since it was completed. Of course, when he saw a foundation crack he worried what that meant for his beloved home. Eddie went online to search Yelp.com for a contractor that could help him fix his home. He found Cantey Foundation Specialists and gave them a call to set up a free inspection. System Design Specialist John Adams arrived for the appointment and started his inspection. After completing the inspection, he sat down with Eddie to discuss a solution that he had designed for Eddie's home. The home would need support to stop the settlement that had started years ago. John explained that Cantey's Push Pier system could provide the support that Eddie's home needed. 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. Eddie was impressed with the plan that John had drawn up and believed it would permanently solve his home's foundation issues. Production Crew Leader Aubrey McJunkin, Production Crew Member David Watson, and Production Crew Member Francisco Lopez came out and effectively installed the Push Pier system. Eddie finally has the peace of mind he wanted for his home that he one day hopes to pass along to his children. 

London V. of North Augusta, SC scheduled a FREE inspection and estimate with Cantey Foundation Specialists. It was determined that the family home would benefit from helical piers. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. In many scenarios, these foundation piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation.

With knowledge of local soil conditions, helical piers can be an ideal solution because the installing contractor will know exactly how deep to install the piers to reach a stable soil layer that can support your home. If your goals are the following, helical piers are a good choice:

• You need the best opportunity to lift your home back to its original position.
• Lighter structures, such as decks or stoops, are in need of stabilization.
• You'd like minimal disturbance during installation.
• You're looking for a fast, effective installation.
• Restoring your property value is a priority.

Once your helical piers have been installed, you can count on your problem to be solved -- once and for all!

Before and After picture of exterior foundation cracks in Saint Matthews, SC. 

This crawl space was in desperate need of improvement.  The air in your crawl space rises into your home and becomes the air you breathe.  Our crew was able to clean up the crawl space, install a vapor barrier, and replace the insulation underneath the home. Although you don't often think about your crawl space, it does effect the quality of life inside your home. This is another happy homeowner helped by Cantey!

Roy W. of Aiken, SC has been living in his home for thirty years, and he has decided to sell his home.  Before he could sell his home, he needed to fix the interior cracks in the drywall in the dining room.  System Deisgn Specialist Kendall Moore inspected his home for free, and he found that the crawl space piers were unstable and settling.  Production Crew led by Foreman Dallas Darity installed 8 SmartJacks which lifted and stabilized the living room floor.  Now, Roy can sell his home with more confidence knowing that the foundation is secure.
