Local Expert Water, Fire, Smoke and Mold Restoration in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Call for fast, local 24x7 response.

"Avoid these people!!!!!! They are the worst. They tell you lie after lie and take forever to do the work. My insurance company called them in even though it was not in my best interest. I regret the day I let them in my front door, and I regret the day I let Allstate insure my house."

For more than 60 years, ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing has provided the highest-quality basement waterproofing, crawlspace encapsulation, radon mitigation, mold removal and foundation repair solutions for homes and commercial properties. We lead with a promise of Trusted Five-Star Service, which means the customer experience is at the center of everything we do. Since 1958, we have been steadfast in keeping this promise and in upholding the values on which '58 Foundations was built: trust, teamwork, integrity, respect and communication. This comes across in all that we do: from the initial call to job completion, our customers are met with a knowledgeable, caring, and professional staff prepared to offer a five-star experience that is unmatched in the home repair industry.

"If you’re considering 58 Foundations, do yourself a favor and stop right now. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this company to anyone—let alone friends or family. Their complete disregard for accountability is nothing short of infuriating. At first, things appeared to go smoothly. The workers were professional, and the workmanship seemed decent. But the illusion of competence quickly disintegrated when it came time for the building inspection. The city inspector requires a letter from the project engineer verifying that the work is safe, sound, and compliant with code. 58 Foundations flat-out refuses to provide this basic validation of their work. Why won’t they stand behind their project? Are they hiding shoddy, substandard work? As a homeowner, I’m now saddled with the mess of an open permit and no resolution in sight. This is unacceptable. If a company won’t back their work with a simple letter, what does that say about their integrity—or lack thereof? Didn't expect this kind of run around from a well established professional firm, save yourself the frustration and inevitable regret. Choose a company that honors their commitments and respects their customers. Once upon a time, 58 Foundations may have been reputable, but their crumbling standards are now painfully obvious. Don’t let their negligence become your problem."

Fire or smoke damage recovery services FAQs

No, you don't have to reconstruct an identical replica of your home to have your insurance claim honored. Rebuilding on the same site is usually sufficient, and some policies even allow for depreciation recovery if you choose alternative designs. Be sure to contact your insurance provider immediately for specific coverage details and next steps.

The time it takes for smoke to clear depends on how much residual smoke is present and the size of your home. Professional ozone treatments can effectively eliminate odor molecules, making every room completely odor-free. With multiple treatment steps performed by experts, the entire process is usually completed within a week, leaving you with a safe and refreshed environment.

The first step in the restoration process is to contact a licensed restoration professional to assess all the damage and start remediation. Quick action is crucial to control moisture from extinguishing efforts, preventing mold growth and further structural issues. By acting promptly, you ensure every subsequent repair is carried out safely and efficiently, protecting your home and your health.

The time it takes to repair fire damage can range from one week for minor restorations to several months for extensive damage affecting multiple areas of your home. The duration of the repair depends on the severity and extent of the damage. By consulting with a professional restoration team, you'll get a precise timeline, ensuring that each necessary step is executed promptly and safely.

Ozone treatment is highly effective at removing smoke odors. It works by chemically breaking down odor molecules, completely eliminating them rather than just masking the smell. When professionals apply ozone treatment throughout your home, they ensure it's entirely odor-free and safe, leaving you with a fresh environment.
