Get matched with top foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation pros in Sale Creek, TN

"* Called Martin and scheduled an appt. for him to look at my property. I needed to wait about a week...which I was fine with. * Day of appt., he did not show. I called and he apologized for missing the appointment due to being stuck on a previous job (understandable)...so he reschedules with me for the next day. (I cordially agree) * Next day's appointment...again he did not show. I called and left a message on Martin's voicemail. He never called back. * I made several attempts to call again, but the calls never go through. * I can only assume that Martin has decided that the work I need is not worth his time...and I have wasted a week of my time with a man and his company who show little courtesy and low character towards a prospective client by not communicating with them. * I would have been fine if he had just told me he wasn't interested in looking at my property instead of stringing me along for over a week...only to end up ghosting me. Â"

"Great job"

"We contacted AFS because our sunroom (built on a concrete pad) had started to settle. We spoke with Kevin Crow and after he explained our options, we decided to go with the poly expanding foam. The installation was was completed by Parris Houchins & Bug Boyd. They did excellent work and were very careful not to break up the tile floor. We are so pleased with the work that they did. This is the second time we have called on AFS for foundation repairs and we would definitely use them again. "

"A little late on my review. First issue is a salesman that has no idea weather the foam injection is an open cell or closed cell. After 2 years of a portion of the foam that was shot under the exterior undermined concrete was destroyed. Oil base foam was used for no UV breakdown like the technician said I needed to do when I asked. Even with no sunlight the foam absorbed moisture, Now after thousands of dollars spent on leveling with open cell foam it was only a treatment of the symptom and not a cure. So far the undeveloped concrete is now heading back to where it was. Not to mention the stabilize part of the bill of goods does not happen when there are still areas the vibration from an air compressor running. The actual cause of the unlevel concrete is no compaction of the ground and the lazy man saw cut expansion joint just like I thought! But do not tell a salesman any common sense reason."

"very professional excellent work"

"The work was done fast and efficiently. Friendly workers and cooperative."

"They are all so very knowledgeable and they make sure you understand what they are doing. We had a leak in the basement and they came out right away. Gave me a quote and started on the work right away. I would recommend them to everyone!!!!"

"AFS came to do my crawlspace drainage. The guys did a great job, they were very polite, they cleaned up nicely, too. I was especially impressed by the way they treated my family and respected my home. The service was great, and I love the lifetime warranty and the fact that it will transfer to a new owner if I sell the home. This increased the value of my home, the quality of our air, and the health of my family. Special thanks to the crew: Nikoli E, Clay G, and Tyler M. Also, the communication and information I received from the sales rep, Garret G, were professional and precise. I got three companies to quote this, and AFS gave me the best options to choose from, the best prices, and the best warranty. Let me save you some time and trouble, call AFS first. You won't be sorry!"

"They do a great job! I have used them for years. Reliable and quick. They are always looking out for me."

"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."
