Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Brad H. moved into his Simpsonville, SC home about 10 years ago He and his family love their home and the neighborhood. The kids are always playing outside with all the other kids that live around them. One day while playing some flag football with all the neighbors, Brad’s next door neighbor noticed the huge crack on his foundation. His neighbor suggested that he call Cantey Foundation Specialists because the crack was a serious issue and he could at least get a free estimate. Brad called in that Monday and scheduled an appointment. System Design Specialist Ryan Holloway arrived for the inspection and looked over the problem areas as well as the crawl space. Ryan determined that Brad really needed to stabilize his foundation, otherwise it would only get worse. Ryan explained that Cantey had a solution called the Push Pier system that would lift and stabilize the foundation. The process would begin with the crew digging holes around the foundation. A bracket would then be placed at the footing and then piers would be driven into the earth until they found the more competent soil. Once they reached this point, the piers would push against the bracket to lift the foundation back into place. This also creates permanent stability for the foundation. Brad knew he needed the work done and believed that Cantey was the right company for the job. The installation was scheduled and Production Crew Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Crew Member Robert Gardner, and Production Crew Member Justin Stillinger installed the Push Pier system effectively. Brad now has a permanently stabilized foundation and no longer has to worry about his family home.

In 2010, Tim K. of Simpsonville, SC added a garage on to his home, and shortly after he started to notice settlement.  A gap appeared above the door, which caused the doors and windows the stick when opening and closing.  Knowing the problem was only going to get worse, Tim called both Cantey Foundation Specialists and one of our competitors.  After hearing the solutions, Tim chose Cantey because he was more comfortable with our #1 team and he was more confident that we would fix it right the first time.  Our production crew led by Foreman Justin Wheeler installed two push piers to lift and stabilize the side of the garage that was settling.  Now, Tim can enjoy his garage for many years to come!

Alexis P. finally has peace of mind knowing she doesn't have to worry about her living room floor caving in on itself anymore.

Johnny, from Lincolnton, GA, had foundation issues in the past, so when his floors started sagging once again he knew immediately that he needed a second opinion. His home was supported by concrete columns and a light-duty post that had settled into the soil causing the floors to sink. We installed three SmartJacks and a Supplemental Beam to raise his floors and further stabilize his home. 

Nothing is more pretty to us than fixing those foundation cracks!
