Michael C. is a homeowner in Batesburg, SC who was having trouble selling his home. Michael's home was in disrepair; the floors were sagging, his crawl space was a mess, and overall the home's foundation wasn't the most solid.

He decided to call Cantey Foundation Specialists, and Specialist James Davis explained to him that Cantey's SmartJacks could solve his problems and help sell his house. SmartJacks are Cantey's patented system to raise, level, and re-enforce structural floors and keep floors from sagging for many years.

Debbie B. is a homeowner in Holly Hill, SC who recently had some trees around her home cut down. What most homeowners don't realize is that trees near your home can cause problems if cut down. Tree roots grow in all directions and are typically twice the length of the tree itself. If tree roots are underneath your home and you cut down the tree essentially killing the roots, they leave a void in the ground. This void, if enough weight is pressing down, will cause a sink hole to appear. You can imagine this is bad news for a house. This was the case for Debbie. The trees she cut down near her home had created several sink holes under her home causing her foundation to settle. Debbie, seeing the seriousness of the issue, called Cantey Foundation Specialists. Specialist Jason Hugg came out to Debbie's home and explained to her that our patented Push Pier system was the solution she was looking for. Push Piers have a lifetime warranty and would effectively negate the effects of the sink hole by supporting and lifting the foundation. Team Leader Sixto, Team Member Mariano, and Team Member Estevan quickly came out to Debbie's home and installed the Push Piers. "I'm so happy that Cantey was able to help me, it's scary to think that a sink hole could form like that. I'm just glad Cantey was able to fix my problems for me."

Ruby K. has lived in her home in Bowman, SC for most of her adult life. When she was younger her family put a big emphasis on cooking. Food was an important part of the family and so she learned to cook, a skill she has used every day for as long as she can remember. Her kitchen is her place of solace, whenever she feels stressed or upset she just cooks. It is the true heart of her home but recently the floor started to sink. She was not about to let anything happen to the kitchen she loved so dear. She remembered seeing an advertisement on TV one night for Cantey Foundation Specialists. She found the number and called in to make an appointment for an inspection. System Design Specialist Craig Adams came out and did an inspection finding that Ruby was right to call when she did. Craig explained to Ruby that Cantey had a patented SmartJack system that could lift and level her kitchen floor. Holes would be dug along the crawl space that would be filled with tightly compacted stone that would be a resting place for a perfectly sized structural footing. These structural footings would then be attached to a steel beam that would be attached to the home and run the length of the crawl space. This would create solid foundation support for the kitchen floor. Production Team Leader Matt Garcia, Production Team Member Nick Riddick, and Production Team Member David Herbert came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Ruby is back to using her kitchen daily and recommends Cantey to all her friends.

Debora J. bought her home in Santee, SC with her husband many years ago to raise their family in. She lost her husband a few years ago and recently her sister, Dianne, also lost her husband. They decided instead of living alone they would live together to keep each other company. Debora and Dianne have enjoyed living together again after all these years. Dianne started to notice that the floor in her room was sloping. Debora had not previously noticed it but wanted to get it inspected. Debora and Dianne asked around to see if any of their neighbors had suggestions. They were told that the company they needed to call was Cantey Foundation Specialists. Debora called in and set up an appointment for the following week. System Design Specialist John Adams came out and took a look in the crawl space to see what was causing the floor to slope. John sat down with Debora and Dianne after the inspection and told them that the piers that were in place in the crawl space needed extra support that Cantey's patented SmartJack system could provide. Sections of soil would be removed where each SmartJack would be installed and filled with tightly compacted crushed stone. This stone would create a solid foundation for the footing that would be placed on top of it, then a galvanized steel beam, a SmartJack, would be attached to the footing. Each steel beam would be attached to a long beam that would run along the top of the crawl space to give the floor lift. The SmartJacks would then be adjusted to create lift and a stable foundation. Production Team Leader Diego Sanchez, Production Team Member Jesus Gonzalez, and Production Team Member Matthew Kelley came out and effectively installed the SmartJack system. Debora and Dianne are back to enjoying being roommates and having a safe, stable floor.
