"Liquid Foundation Repairs installed a perimeter French drain system for my yard after I had been experiencing drainage issues around the back and side of the house. Itâ s a locally owned business, and Troy was very helpful and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The system drains water exceptionally well and was installed quickly and efficiently."

"Absolute incredible customer service and professionalism! If you are looking for someone to repair, raise, or level concrete foundations or driveways you MUST give them a call. I needed some emergency concrete driveway repairs/lifting and they came out same day and completed the repairs quickly. The owner himself called me and I explained the issues I was having. He throughly explained the repair process and eased my worries. He came out within 2 hours and throughly inspected the driveway and immediately setup and began making the repairs. He even took the time to point out some other problem areas and walked me through how to make the repairs on my own. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Gulf Coast Foundation!"

"

I'm extremely pleased with all facets of this installation.  Mike handled the initial survey and quote and arrived promptly on schedule.  We discovered that the foundation drain had failed and allowed water to remain trapped along that wall, which caused the problem to recur during persistent heavy rain.  We discussed several options I had considered, and he explained the Aqua-Guard system, the complete installation process, thoroughly answered all of my questions, and left me with a written estimate, along with additional material to review at my leisure.  His approach made more sense than the competition, was very competitive price-wise, and included a warranty that was far superior to the competition, so I chose Aqua-Guard and we set an installation date several weeks into the future.

The office called in advance to confirm the installation date.  Brandon and his crew showed up exactly on schedule to begin the installation.  Brandon again explained the system and answered all questions, then the crew began work.  The crew was quick, efficient, and the workmanship was outstanding.  They initially estimated that the job would take a complete day, but they were able to complete their work in approximately 6 hours.  Later that afternoon, Brandon arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and performed a final inspection and handled any final questions before receiving payment. 

I could not have imagined a more positive experience.  Aqua-Guard precisely met every scheduled appointment, the quality of their work was outstanding, they were courteous and professional in their behavior, and the cost was below the average of the firms I consulted and precisely in line with the initial estimate..  They completed the job ahead of schedule and left the work area cleaner than they found it.  I can't think of a single thing they could have done to make the experience any better.  Aqua-Guard has my highest recommendation!

"I called about a small wet area in a corner of a finished basement. They walked in with the preconceived idea that I needed a basement drainage system and sump pump. There was a drainage pipe, plainly visible, in the wet area. I ask if the problem could be from the pipe but was repeatedly told the water was coming from between the foundation and the concrete block. Never was any other possibility considered. The problem turned out to be the pipe. A much cheaper fix than their proposed solution. To be fair I received the exact same experience from 2 other foundation companies."

"Exceptional service! I requested the services for my senior parents, and they told me that they were very pleased with the process pre-, during, and post- repair of their foundation. They mentioned how punctual the team was and the fact that they could feel the difference in the flooring after the foundation repairs were complete. I am very appreciative that they went out to a very rural area of Alabama. I highly recommend APS!"

"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 Repair questions, answered by experts

If your foundation repair claim gets denied, the first step is to carefully read over your policy and denial letter so you understand the reason for the denial. Then, gather evidence and documents that can support your case and appeal the denial with your insurance company. If your insurer does not eventually honor your claim, you may want to file a complaint with the insurance department in your state. In some cases, it may make sense to work with an attorney and file a lawsuit.

The average home foundation lasts between 80 and 100 years, but some can last much longer with proper maintenance and routine inspections. The lifespan depends on the foundation type, soil conditions, climate, and construction quality. Poured concrete walls can last up to 200 years, brick or stone foundations over 100 years, cement block foundations 80 to 100 years, and pier foundations about 75 years. Factors that can shorten a foundation's life include expansive clay soil, poor weather conditions, low-quality building materials, improper construction, and tree roots. Signs of damage include sloping floors, bowing walls, cracks, and doors or windows that stick.

Minor slab leaks normally take around three hours to access and fix, provided the leak is in an accessible location. However, a more extensive leak or a leak in a hard-to-reach location can take several days to fix, depending on the resulting damage. You might also want to consider the timeline for the build-back if the leak damages building materials like flooring or cabinets, which can take several weeks, including delivery of the materials.

Whether you need a permit for foundation repair depends on your location and the scope of the work. Major repairs like foundation stabilization typically require a building permit, while smaller projects such as sealing non-structural cracks or applying waterproofing solutions often do not. It's crucial that your contractor follows all local building codes, as an inspector will review the work to ensure it's up to standard. Failing to obtain the necessary permits can create issues when selling your home and may lead to further damage if the work is not done correctly. Your foundation repair specialist will usually know if a permit is needed and can handle the process for you. You can also contact your local building department or municipal office to confirm the requirements and verify that your contractor has filed the appropriate paperwork.

Yes, a house can collapse from severe foundation problems if they are left unchecked. However, this is a rare occurrence that typically takes many years to develop, and a partial collapse is more likely than a full one. Homes on hillsides or in areas with frequent washouts are at a higher risk. Barring a natural disaster or other extreme circumstances, clear signs of major issues will be apparent long before a collapse is imminent. It is crucial to conduct routine foundation inspections and address any problem, no matter how minor it seems, as soon as possible to avoid threatening the structural integrity of your home.
