Advanced Foundation Repair, Crawl Space Repair & more in Anderson County, SC

When customer Claude B.'s wife became sick, they moved to a different location closer to the hospital, and subsequently left their Honea Path home by itself for nearly a year.  When they returned, the crawl space was the last thing on their mind.  However, an awful smell was wafting up through the venting systems.  Upon investigation, Claude knew he needed to call a specialist to inspect the entire crawl space.  System Design Specialist Nathan Bailey rushed to the scene to help the family with their problematic crawl space.

When Specialist Nathan crawled out from under the house and showed the pictures to Claude, he was baffled at the mold and wood rot damage that appeared throughout the crawl space.  System Design Specialist proposed that Cantey's #1 Team would install a CleanSpace Encapsulation system along with SmartJack crawl space jacks, dehumidifier, SmartSump System, and wood rot replacement of rim joist and sister joists.

Cantey Foundation Specialists' #1 Team strives to help our customers by making their home a safe, healthy place!

Diane B. bought her home in Pelzer, SC a few years ago because of its historic roots. The home was built in the late 1800s and she loved the idea of bringing back some of that charm to it. Her first step in major renovations had to be fixing the sloping floors. She did not really know who to call in order to rectify the situation. She asked some of her neighbors who also had older homes and several of them had work done by Cantey Foundation Specialists. They were all pleased with the work and even showed Diane the solutions. Diane called and scheduled an appointment. System Design Specialist Jerod Tafta arrived for the appointment ready to inspect. He carefully went through the whole crawl space to inspect the foundation support that was in place. Jerod told Diane after the inspection that she just needed some extra support which Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. The installation would begin with sections of soil being removed at the sites for each SmartJack. These would then be filled with tightly compacted crushed stone to create a base that could withstand the weight of the SmartJacks and the home. A footing piece is installed on top of the stone that is then the resting place for the SmartJack. The SmartJack would then be attached to a long metal beam that would be attached to the top of the crawl space. Once all the SmartJacks are attached, they then would be adjusted to create lift. Diane was impressed with Jerod's knowledge and felt confident in Cantey to get the job done right. Production Team Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardner came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Diane is moving forward with other renovations with the comfort of knowing that her floors are stable.

We will helping M. Sumter with peace of mind in Williamston, SC. She bought this home 23 years ago and it came with a hairline crack on the back right corner. Her father told her to get it fixed but she didn't want to spend the money back then. She said has waited too long to get this fixed and she is very concerned that she's going to wake up in the trees beside her house. We will take care of her with 14 push piers and 1 smart jack for phase 1 of this project and then continue with phase 2 as Ms. Sumter is ready. 

Cantey Foundation Specialists recently helped the Stallworth family of Sumter, SC with mitigating excess water to a new sump pump by installing drain tile along the front section of home. They had had issues every heavy rain this season and were concerned with the long term effects on their foundation and basement. 

We were recently called to the Anderson family of Anderson, SC (not founding family!) with peace of mind. Our System Design Specialist was initially called out because water had been pooling on the driveway and the Anderson's noticed cracking getting worse. Cantey will be installing our 2part Sealant Pro Solutions to protect their driveway as well as Gutter Shutter gutters to keep the rainwater directed away from the foundation and driveway.
