"I am excited about the work completed by the AFS foundation crew from Mobile, Alabama! From start to finish, every step was handled with the highest professionalism and attention to detail. The team of David, Bobby, Jesus, and Logan took the time to explain the technical process in simple, clear terms, making sure I felt confident throughout the project. They also stuck to the promised timeline, finishing the installation on schedule without sacrificing quality. I also appreciate the crew’s effort to keep the worksite tidy. David, Bobby, Jesus, and Logan exceeded my expectations in every way. Their blend of technical skill, punctuality, and dedication to customer satisfaction makes them a top-tier crew. I would gladly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable foundation repair."

"Great company! Fantastic crew! Good morals! Impressive work ethic! Very clean, efficient, and timely! Had some cracking in my bicks and I was concerned none the less. I called 4 different foundation repair companies and I was immediately sold on Apex! There not the cheapest but to my personal experience they are absolutely the best. They told everything I needed to expect on the front end. And much to my surprise they fixed my foundation and bricks in less than a day. Then after all is said and done they have lifetime warranty?s on everything they do! If your having issues with your foundation, look no farther than Apex Foundation Specialist!!!"

"We were in the middle of moving, we were selling the house that we were in and closing on a new home and there was some moisture found in the basement. This owner was great! We had called other different companies and because of our limited time frame (closing on a house), he was the only one that could come out right away. He treated the walls and waterproofed the lower level wall in the house. By far he was the most affordable company we quoted and he was a very hard work. Honest guy. He gave us a sense that he would not pull one over on you like most companies."

"My crawlspace was wet, moldy, and just nasty. The insulation was soaking wet and it smelled awful. I called five different companies to come out and give me quotes on what they thought needed to be done. I had quotes all over the board ranging from $7,000 all the way up to $48,000. Southern dry was not the cheapest but no where near the most expensive. I decided to use them because Kevin the sales associate I used fully explained the process and broke down each step to where I could understand what was going to be accomplished and what materials would be used. They were even willing to accommodate my special request of adding an extra door to have access under my porch. The installation team, Cha-Chi, Michael, and Ventura were absolutely outstanding. They communicated well and made me fully aware when each step of the process would be taking place. They also always arrived on time and made sure to clean up any trash after each day of work. All in all, SouthernDry is a top notch company with top notch employees to match, would recommend them to anyone."

"Probably could have said my house was about to collapse and sold me an expensive fix. Instead, told me to wait until the drought causing the ground to shrink over, and the foundation would probably start to close again. Which it did. Strait shooters. I'd trust their advice."

"When they gave us the estimate, we gave them the initial deposit of $2,500. At our bank, Brian put his name above the name of the company name in different colored ink on the check. This threw up a red flag at the bank. They called us about it, telling us it would not go through. He then told us about not being able to cash it at the bank, and we wrote another for the same amount directly to Brian, thinking our bank still had the check. He told us later that he had given the first check to his brother, Andy, who cashed it immediately at another bank, so they ended up having the initial deposit and the second of three checks before they even started the job! Aside from that, they were very diligent, working almost non-stop on the replumbing project. During this period, they also asked us for a draw because of vehicle troubles, which were evident, and we gave them $100, for which they gave us a receipt. On the third day, they discovered a plaster wall that was unknown to us. They emailed us saying they could not go on without an adjustment in price ($1,000 more plus an agreement that we let them do a kitchen sink re-route to the city main sewer for $4,400. We felt that the increase was reasonable. We agreed to pay it and signed the contract for the re-route. All during this time, we had to stay in a hotel but tried to be there but out of their way when needed. During the re-route drain portion, I noted to Andy that a ceiling fan in a back bedroom was spraying water when turned on and all light bulbs placed in that fan buzzed and shorted out. He quickly offered to replace the fan, which he did that night. Earlier that day, I had to use my Shop-Vac to clean up some sheetrock dust and found soaked insulation filling the inside. I didn't tell him that day what I found, because I didn't make the connection between the two until later. He also told me that the p-trap in the guest bathroom was leaking, and he put a new p-trap on. I then told him about a kitchen sink drainage pipe that was now leaking and that we couldn't turn the dishwasher on. He performed additional work on those, and they appeared to work properly. A day after I gave him the check for the re-route, I noticed that the same p-trap in the guest bedroom was leaking, the kitchen drain was still leaking, a pipe was sticking through the wall into the entryway and a spigot on the front of the house was very wobbly and felt I couldn't put any pressure to turn it off or on. The day after that, the 4th or 5th day, I called and messaged Andy about a callback to address the problems that still needed fixing. It took a day before I got a response from him where he first said he and Brian were no longer in business together, but promised that we were "FIRST ON THE LIST" on the 21st to fix those problems. He never showed up. He ignored all phone calls and messages and has up to the date of this complaint. I then messaged Brian about coming back and fixing the items and he initially that he would but since then he has ignored all messages. I've since replaced the p-trap in the guest bedroom at my own expense, in order to get the house back together and functioning. I also had to purchase an additional $200 in materials and tools to rebuild the entryway wall where it was torn out on two sides to route pipes for the outside back spigot. I've made repeated attempts to reach both of them, both on phone and text messages, all being ignored."

"Mr Webb's work is very good and my wife and I are very pleased with his work, cost and work time.  We have used Complete Home Repair for several small repairs this year and have always been very pleased.  He shows up when he says he will and gets the job done.  So when we planned this latest project, we did not hesitate to call them and in fact did not even think about any one else.
We have in mind some other projects around here and will certainly call them first.  We found Complete Home Repair on Angie's list and have even found others for HVAC etc.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.

Start by calling a plumber if you want to install a sump pump battery backup. Talk to them about your situation and needs. Sometimes, electricians or waterproofing contractors will install a battery backup, and in that case, the plumber you call should be able to point you in the right direction.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites
