"Our project started in March. It was not finished. We had to keep calling for someone to finish. A diagram was made of what would be done and how much it was going to cost. Shims were supposed to be put in. We showed it to one of the many different people from AFS. One guy, Todd, I believe his name is, told us for 6,000.00 we could get shims in. The guys shot holes through our skirting around the house. The first patch job was a dark grey. These aren't the only places they shot through. Now its cracking also. How is this possibly great work for almost 10,000.00!? The last guy to come out hasn't been back since Oct. Knoxville AFS is terrible! The last guy was here in Oct and not only are they not answering calls, they don't call us back."

When it comes to plumbing, Mr. Rooter is the one to call. Our trained and knowledgeable staff makes your satisfaction our main priority.
"The $7,000 project ended up costing us $123,000 because they dry-cut through the slab in our family room releasing asbestos dust throughout the entire house causing us to have to live in a Hampton Inn for 43 days. They cut the slab without supporting it and it collapsed enough to cause our brick fireplace face to have several cracks in it. With all the repairs we had to have done, the asbestos abatement project and replacing all our clothing, betting and some furniture, and with the amount our insurance company shorted us, we lost $43,000 of our retirement savings. Avoid this contractor like the plague!"

"Working with Robert was a pleasure. From the first phone call to the successful installation, Robert was courteous and professional. He promptly responded my text messages and directly answered my phone calls. He did a beautiful job putting in a new water heater for us. He taught us a few ways to maintain the water heater for a longer usage life. He cleaned up after the work. And, he was very up-front about his price, which is extremely fair."

"Can we give Jeff 10 stars out of 5? He went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he remodel the kitchen, but he was instrumental in helping to decide design, colors, cabinets, and countertops. We had already done some shopping for cabinets and countertops and the folks he recommended using came in quite a bit cheaper than the ones we had found. In addition, Jeff and his crew rewired the entire kitchen area for safety. Jeff and his crew were on time, courteous, and knew how to do everything we asked at a more than reasonable cost. We have already recommended Jeff and his crew to a number of our friends and family and will definitely use him again for any future projects we may have. Thanks for the beautiful new kitchen Jeff."

Sump pumps last about 10 years with proper maintenance and prompt repairs. Several factors can influence your sump pump’s lifespan, such as usage, environmental conditions, and installation. Premium sump pumps with heavy-duty motors and quality components tend to last longer than lower-cost models. Pedestal sump pumps usually last longer than submersible models since they’re not constantly exposed to water.
A basement French drain is a drainage system installed in basements or around a building’s foundation to redirect water and prevent flooding. This system features a trench with a perforated pipe that catches and transports water away. These systems can crack, freeze, or clog, potentially resulting in flooding or strain on your sump pump.
You can use a sump pump in your yard to minimize pooling water and landscape damage, but it’s best used in conjunction with other drainage systems. This can include French drains, trench drains, underground downspouts, and other equipment. Proper lawn care, such as soil aeration and native plants, also aids with drainage.
