Get matched with top foundation drainage installers and replacers in Mount Airy, NC

"We bought an older home and discovered that a rim joist and multiple first floor beams had deteriorated, causing uneven flooring and structural changes to our first floor and basement. We contacted Tar Heel Basement Systems for help. Their project manager, John Dakonis met with us for a free consultation and signed us up to have the necessary work completed. Gary Hacker and Mathias Limas came to install an Intellijack Support System to lift and secure the flooring. They also repaired and replaced the rotten subflooring. These gentlemen were polite and concientious in their work, cleaning up each day so that we could access areas as needed. Their professionalism and patience in explaining each step of the process was truly appreciated! We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and neighbors, as we couldnt be more pleased with the results!"

"Great, no foundation issues were found."

"They found my problem wasn't in the foundation but a plumbing problem so they only tore my wall down. I appreciated their honesty."

"We decided to go with 58 Foundations for our basement waterproofing because of the warranty and the ability to finance our project. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions so that we could make an informed decision. The crew on site worked quickly and efficiently. Very happy with the service."

"The gentlemen were kind, courteous and respectful. As I mention above, my slab was 8ft by 16 ft. Along one 16ft edge, the slab had dropped by about 4 inches. I don't know when it was installed, but I would guess it was part of the original construction (1954), and was enclosed probably in the 70s. The gentlemen arrived with 1 2ft bubble level and 2 digital levels which were perhaps 1ft in length. From there, they proceeded to place their 2 ft level so that its end touched the 16ft edge, the opposite end parallel to the 8ft dimension. They raised the level so the buble was centered and marked the adjacent brick wall about 1 inch up from its base. Did I mention the slab is 8 ft wide in the parallel dimension to their level? Did I mention the slab had dropped about 4 inches along that 16ft edge? I suggested they use my 4 ft level instead, which they really didn't, relying in their 2dt and 1ft levels instead. They raised the dropped edge about 2 inched, and the whole slab about one inch, resulting in the edge which was down 4 inches, being down only 3 inches now. At this point, cracks began to precipitate in the slab, so they suggested we stop, which I agreed. Then they suggested my 4ft level was inaccurate, and that their 2ft level was more accurate, reporting the slab only slightly out of level. At that point, I stacked their level on top of mine, and demonstrated that their level centered the bubble before mine did, but when my bubble was centered, so was theirs; their level was inaccurate with respect to mine! In the end I was told that, once the foam was fully cured, I could get a subsequent leveling. Unfortunately, they had no more open appointments until March. Meanwhile, that slab was under my laundry room, which I removed, temporarily supporting the roof with beams on the surrounding ground, and engineered joists. Since I'd rather wash my clothes at home than wait til March, I decided to level the build a floor over the slab instead, as the foundation for the new laundry room structure (enclosing the plumbing for the laundry room might also prove useful when the outside temperature falls below freezing soon). To be fair, when the job was quoted, I asked about the ability to lift the entire structure, and was assured that wouldn't be a problem, so the guy who quoted the job did not know I would tear the structure down. However, he surely knew there was a chance the slab would crack, and that if it did, they would not be able to address the remainder of the leveling until March. My general review is this: * Admit to the problems which could occur up front so that the consumer can make a wise choice, rather than selling the job with promises of making the slab level. I have no doubt that, give the time, they could make it level. But starting the job in October, and finishing it in March is not acceptable. * Have proper equipment and train your people to use it. Showing up with a 2ft bubble level and 1 ft digital levels, then not understanding that the lift indicated by a 2ft level, when brought to level, is only 1/4th the lift needed for an 8ft span is rank naivete on levels and similar triangles. Not knowing that the pinch of the vile, (or likely the curve, in the vile is offset to one edge, as their 2fter was) determines the accuracy of the level was just the final blow for my assessment of their competence. The fact that I wound up doing exactly what I was trying to avoid; build a wooden platform which was level on top of the sloped slab, makes it seem like a complete waste of $1700 to have them come to my house. I only hope that the result of the foam pumping is that any voids under the slab were filled, and that it now has a foundation under it which will not erode further. I am certain they do fine work, and the price I paid was in line with what i was expecting. The workmanship and apparent level of competence, however, was disappointing."

"Rob and his team did a great job sealing a moisture crack in my foundation. They took the time to make sure the job was done correctly and looked professional."

"Justin is very easy to work with, always aiming to please. He carved out a new circle driveway for us and graded the yard for proper drainage. Turned out great! Thanks guys"

"By working weekends, the team at DR Restore completed all mold remediation and reconstruction ahead of schedule. We had been without housing, so we were incredibly fortunate to find DR Restore. The project included addressing chronic water damage issues that had occurred in our home as well as drywall repair, painting and replacing wood flooring throughout the house. It was a pleasant and stress-free experience working with Tom Mitchell and his team at DR Restore. I could not more highly recommend this company."

"Shane did a great job on our project. He also helped us understand the best type of flooring for the bathroom remodel."

"We were moving and was requested to have the chimmney cleaned prior to moving. They did an excellent job at an excellent price.
