"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."

"Work started on trenching for footings by my excavator at the beginning of March 2025 on schedule. Footings were poured and the wall building commenced around March 10th. With the wall building completed, and blocks filled with concrete my excavator had to clean the debris left by wall contractors to progress to the slab trenching and preparation. There were communications between my excavator and Rick that did not reflect the contracted scope of work so I decided to travel to the site (Cape Cod, MA to Tennessee) and both oversee the pour and clarify scope of work with Rick. I assured the excavator company any work they performed would be paid for by me and I would settle with Rick at final payment. Preparations were made for the final slab and porch footing pour and after discussing the job with sub-contractors, Rick left the site. Concrete was both late and the wrong mix so after discussing with the subs and distribution company I allowed the incorrect concrete to be used where there was rebar and was calling back and forth with Rick as all subs and concrete drivers were looking to me for guidance. The remaining trucks were made correct and were used for the slab. After the concrete was complete, everyone left the site to let the slab set. I met Rick the following morning to settle up invoices and inspect the work. I reviewed the contract as well as the work contracted but performed by others and the invoices I paid to have this done. We agreed on the $1400.00 reduction amount for work done by others included in the contract and signed all documents. I mentioned holding back a small percentage to ensure the remaining work would be completed and Rick assured me there was no need for that giving me his word it would be taken care of and we both signed this statement also on the final payment contract. As you see in the included photos, this has not happened."

Absolutely. You can combine drainage installation with many other kinds of projects, such as building a new home, constructing a major addition, or installing an irrigation system. Since excavation is already underway, combining tasks can save you time and money by minimizing labor and material expenses and ensuring seamless integration of multiple systems.
Make sure your contractor is licensed and insured by checking their credentials. Ask for a detailed written estimate outlining every aspect of your drainage system, including how they plan to address specific problem areas in your yard. You can also ask if they have a warranty for their work. Additionally, review customer feedback to confirm the quality of their work.
It depends on your specific water management needs. A French drain is a passive system that redirects water away from your home without mechanical assistance. A sump pump actively removes water when it reaches a certain level. Often, using both systems together provides the best defense against water intrusion, but a pro can give you specific advice for your home and yard.
