"Foundation Repair. We have had opportunity to use PowerLift twice in the past. Once in 2005 and once in 2009. The situation was that the clay soil in the Charlotte area expands and contracts with temperature and moisture. What had happened in 2005 was that cracks had appeared in the north side of the brick on our home. I contacted Jim McCown who came out and did a thorough inspection of the foundation. He found that piers were needed around the north west corner of our house. We had the repairs completed and were pleased with the result. They even repaired the cracks themselves so the brick was sound. Fast forward to 2009. We found that we were having problems with some of the interior and exterior doors operating correctly. I again called PowerLift, ready to accuse them of warranty issues with their work. As it turned out, the repairs done previously were fine, but the west side of our house, under the deck, needed remediation. PowerLift came out, dismantled the portion of the deck that was in the way, and stabilized the foundation in that area. Again, the cracks were repaired and the house stabilized. Fast forward to 2023. We're preparing to sell our home, so had Jim come out and verify that the piers were still doing their job. He verified that we were still in good shape. Are there other companies who do foundation repair? I suppose so, but we were so pleased with working with PowerLift in general and Jim McCown in particular that we could see no benefit in going anywhere else. I strongly recommend PowerLift if you need foundation repair work."

"Roger Roten at '58 Foundations saved me $12,000 dollars. I had already had another company out who recommended foundation repair and quoted me about 12k for the work. I called '58 Foundations who sent out Roger to give a competing quote for the job. To my surprise Roger reached a very different conclusion than the first company. He presented compelling evidence based on his observations and experience that we didn't need foundation repair at all, and at most needed $500 of masonry work. Roger recommended that I hire my own structural engineer to verify everything, and so I did. The engineer came out and found that there were no repairs needed. The small bit of cracking we saw that started this whole process is explained by expanding and contracting clay soil + 53 years of time."

"Just had a great experience with Carolina Foundation Solutions. Andrew provided a clear overview of the options for a bowing basement wall and settling corner. Robert, Wesley, and Marvin did the work. Andrew knew the pros and cons for the solutions and explained them well. I am a tough-minded engineer and have very high standards for worksmanship. Robert, Wesley, and Marvin did a FANTASTIC job. They were punctual, thorough, and professional. They put in helical supports for the corner and carbon fiber straps for the bowing wall. I did not do any comparison pricing."

"Jose did an excellent job! He was very responsive and provided a quote within a day or two of reviewing the site. Price was very competitive. He removed the existing porch and took away all the debris, selected matching brick, poured new concrete footings, added concrete blocks and stone for drainage, poured another layer of concrete and enlarged and rebuilt the brick porch and steps. This porch is here to stay. He cut out and matched up the walkway and sloped the brick floor away from the house. Jose cleaned up the site every day and finished the project in a short amount of time. I highly recommend him! Chris"

"Our soil is all clay which has the highest risk of damaging a foundation as it alternates between wet and dry. Even a light rain would leave us a soggy yard for days as most of the roof drained to the lawn via downspouts or popups. Water would collect at the front of our house because the front yard and driveway sloped down to the house. The builder used flimsy corrugated plastic tubes for underground connections to pop ups on the lawn. (One of flimsy tubes was blocked with debris.) Drain Designs did an excellent job connecting new commercial grade 4 inch PVC pipes to all downspouts plus installed two surface drains to collect water at the house front. The three-team crew (Rob, Dalton and Jonny) were courteous, skilled and hard working. They hand dug trenches next to the foundation against our home, carefully removing any plants which they watered and set aside. The PVC pipes were placed and securely connected with screws. All of the roof’s rain was directed through the underground PVCs to the woods behind our house. Downspout cleanouts for flushing were placed. The plants were replanted so carefully that neighbors could not tell that the work had been done. In the following week we had two intense downpours during which the new system worked flawlessly. No water pooled at the front of the house or in our yard. We highly recommend Drain Designs. BTW, their guarantee is a lifetime…not my lifetime but the home’s because it’s a Transferable Lifetime Warranty."

"The engineer from RB came to my house, introduced himself and explained what he would be doing during his inspection. He encouraged me to follow him around and answered all my questions. Used a laser level to measure the sag in the floors, and got into his coveralls to do a thorough crawl space inspection. He provided a short list of contractors who they have used or foundation and drainage work. I recommend RB Engineering. They are up front about the nature of the service provided and the price for that service. They show up when they say they will, and do what they say they will do in a courteous and professional manner."

"Keith Locker presented Shamrock in a most professional manner for an estimate of work to be done in a basement closet. The closet has two walls which are part of the cinderblock foundation. Although these walls do not leak, the efflorescence was both unsightly and rubbed off on anything that touched it. Shamrock was able to work me into their schedule early and I greatly appreciated it. The work, however, was less than professional. While the back wall looked great (so I know they can do good work), the side wall looked decidedly less so. While I am perfectly aware that basement walls are imperfect, I know that they could have done better on the side wall based on the back wall. When I asked about the issue with the side wall, Shamrock shrugged that that was the best they could do. When I asked Keith to review the pictures that I would send to Angie's List with this review, he complained that I was insufficiently appreciative of the work done and about how little money he had made on the job. I had planned to give Shamrock a B, but his comments lowered this review to a C. He did give me a helpful hint about how I can remove the writing on the side wall trim. So that's something, I guess."

"They are the best! Very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Atlantic Foundation and Repair to anyone!"
