We are a Woman Owned Small Family Business. We have over 40 years of experience in residential foundation repair. We work with the outer foundation walls, basement walls & slabs, concrete slabs, patios, porches and driveways. Financing Available. Located at 137 County Rd 902, Calera, AL 35040. Mailing address: P.O. Box 1050, Calera, AL 35040 Areas served: We serve the entire state of Alabama including Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Selma, Dothan, Auburn, Huntsville

"This was a very extensive project that I spent months researching, hired an engineer for his professional guidance, and accepted bids from four companies. Two of the other companies were cheaper but proposed to use synthetic foam materials, which don't have a long enough track record for my comfort. Once the job started, the crews worked with great diligence, and despite the numerous difficulties they encountered, I never heard a single complaint. Total work time was 14 days over a three-week period that include Independence Day. Total cost was about $40k"

"They were hired to fix my crawl space and fix my floors which were sagging. They did replace some wood that was termite damaged but my floor is still not level and is now worse than when they first came in 2024. They didn't really talk to me about the condition of my crawl space other than what they had fixed. We paid over $10,000 and they refuse to give me an itemized invoice that listed their expenses. I'll have to hire someone else to come back and do the work I originally hired them for. I would not recommend them to anyone. It took forever and there were always different people coming to my house."

"I was very pleased with how both the estimate and the waterproofing was done. The estimate went over and beyond what others had done to find where the water was coming from. Mark came out and showed me first-hand where the water came from by making it leak while we were watching. No one else did that. They came right on time to fix it and showed me what they found and how they would fix it. The job was done quickly, but thoroughly. Everything was put back into place. Of course, we have to have some more heavy rains to test their work, but I have every confidence that what they did will work. They were pleasant to work with and they kept me appropriately informed. I would recommend them to anyone who asks."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the scope and site preparation.

You shouldn’t use a French drain if you have nowhere for the water to go. For instance, maybe you don’t have a municipal drain nearby, and the only place the French drain could dump the excess water is a neighboring property or in a street without drainage. This just causes flooding problems for more people, so you’d want to consider a different draining solution for your property.

Yes, window wells should be filled with at least 12 inches of clean, coarse gravel. Gravel helps the water naturally drain into the earth below. Maintain the gravel over time; if it becomes contacted or mixed with soil, it can more easily clog and cause flooding issues.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

Some natural springs can dry up, but it’s far from inevitable. In the right conditions, a spring will continue flowing with water. Certain environmental or manufactured factors can threaten a natural spring, however. Hotter temperatures and decreased rainfall can cause a spring to dry up over time, especially in arid places. The same is true if you use spring water for drinking or irrigation faster than the groundwater replacement rate. Keep in mind that there are intermittent springs, which are active on and off throughout the year. They haven’t dried up; it’s all part of a natural water cycle.
