Description of Work: They came out to fix the work they didn't do correctly the first time. That was several years prior and they had been charging me a $119.00 service fee each year to verify it was working properly. When I requested and estimate to complete the crawlspace the price was 2 times what it was when I first started the work with the company. I contacted Crawlspace Doctors for a quote also. Crawlspace Doctors came out and the quote was half but more important is that I was notified that the company that put in my pumps has done the job incorrectly and showed me pictures. I contacted AFS and they did come back and fix the problem. I was kind of upset as they had been charging me for 3 years for maintenance and never told me there was a problem. The trenches were dug correctly and pumps put back in. They did correct the job. I am happy that they stood by fixed it however I still will never trust the service techs they send out. I had more than one that told me everything was fine and I also was never offered the refund of the years when the job was not done right and I paid for something that didn't work. When I finished my crawlspace I did not use AFS and probably will not use again.

Description of Work: They, with foam injection, raised a 4ftx25ft section of a concrete pool deck where it has sunk 4 inches on one side. Also raised a large section of the concrete driveway--all looked great when done.

Description of Work: Installed sump pump and covered drain in cellar. There was lots of jack hammering and dust. They took no precautions to keep the dust from the AC in the cellar, so there was a major repair required. Very earnest young man with slick brochures, but not much bang for the buck.

Description of Work: They were too pushy and too expensive

Description of Work: Crawlspace, foundation repair, floors were shifting; they put braces under the house and they adjust them periodically.

Description of Work: Placed a liner throughout my crawlspace to keep out moisture and prevent mold. Additionally placed 2 helical foundation supports to level the foundation and prevent future settling. | |No complaints about the job they did installing the crawlspace liner or the piers for the foundation. However, during the first rainfall after the installation the moisture alarm activated. When I went into the crawlspace to deactivate it I found water pooling under the liner and seeping through an unsealed joint in the liner. | |I called them back out, they returned and agreed that I needed a sump pump to remove the amount of water that was present. In their favor, they agreed to install a sump at half cost. I agreed and that was when the "fun" started. | |First of all they sent a "technician" out to install the pump but did not provide him with a plan on where to put it. So he asked my wife where it was supposed to go. She had no idea so he left, but not before collecting the payment (my wife paid him before he started working). | |I called them to get someone out to perform the work that we had already paid for so they sent out another installer, again without any plans for where to put the pump. This time the installer just put it in where he estimated it should go. | |I called ASF to get an explanation on why the installer chose the spot for installation, because I have been under the house after a heavy rain and the pump was installed about 20 feet from where I have noticed water pooling. I have not heard from them since. | |To be honest I don't know if the pump is in the right place or not. The pump has not been hooked up to an electrical source yet because ASF does not do electrical and when I had the liner and dehumidifier installed it cost me $450 to have the electric wires run for that (I had ASF subcontract for the electrical) and I do not intend to have another service installed until I know that the sump pump is in the right place. Or at least have a chance to talk to the installer and find out why he chose the sump pump site (he may have a good reason but I may never know). Looks like service after the sale is not their strong point.

Description of Work: I used Basement waterproofing to do my home.

Description of Work: We contacted Alabama Foundation Specialists because of severe foundation problems (cracked brick,cracked sheet rock and unlevel floors). What they did was install 15 Helical Piers under the exterior foundation footing to stabilize my foundation and stop the brick from cracking. ( This involved digging under the footing and then screwing in these helical piers to what they said was inactive soils.) I had interior sheet rock cracks,unlevel floors and doors that would not close so they installed 10 floor supports under various interior walls to the correct this problem as well. ( This involved going into our crawlspace, digging out and pouring conrete footers for each steel column floor support and then lifting the walls). The whole process went just as the estimator said it would and we could not be pleased more with the results.

Description of Work: Estimate for foundation leveling.

Description of Work: The salesman was professional and courteous. They did exactly what they said they would do on the schedule they said they would. They checked back up with me to make sure it was done correctly. Undoubtedly the best service experience I've had in a long time. Highly recommend. They eliminated my long running water problems in my basement.

Description of Work: Interior Crawlspace Drain and Sump Pump Installation: They installed drain pipe around the inside perimeter of the crawl space of my house. They installed two sump pumps and electrical outlets.

Description of Work: The services we requested were foundation repair to support a load-bearing wall of a condominium. They installed around 12 total steel piers and added several support beam s over a 5 year period.

Description of Work: Alabama Foundation Specialist came out and lifted the foundation of our house. We had some foundation issues.

Description of Work: I found some cracks in the brickwork on my home, one place particularly wide. Called AL foundations, and an estimator came out. He told me what he thought was needed and sent a plan denoting where piers were needed. The work was done satisfactorily, with only a minor change, where a large rock prevented the installation of one pier. They reduced the price for the work not done. I then call a brick mason to regrout and replace bricks as necessary. He pointed out to me that there were several more places along the front of my house where the walls needed to be propped up. I recalled AL foundations and the estimator said yeah I guess that's right. 8 more piers were installed as were some aboveground props under a rear deck. The second installation did not go so well. More of the landscaping was destroyed, and the water line to the house was broken. The patch for that did not work and several hours of fumbling around went on until a plumber was called back to find the problem (mud and debris had been sucked into the pressure regulator valve). The crew foreman told my wife as he left that more work needed to be done and that the original estimate misplaced the piers, but he had placed them correctly. When I called the office to talk to the owner, he was difficult to reach and when reached said he would call back the next day after contacting the foreman. No call for 2 weeks. Called again, was told I would be called within 48 hours. Never received a call back. Several conversations with office personnel were fruitless. Finally gave up and had brick work done and re landscaped the affected areas.
