"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."

"Calvin was super helpful in getting us exactly what we needed for our 1903 home. Full crawlspace encapsulation and a repair of a sagging section of the house that was overloaded with a floated concrete floor. He easily could have oversold us on expensive repairs that were unnecessary but he was honest and up front with our issues and reassured us that our foundation was in really good condition for the age of the house. The crew doing the work showed up when they said they would and left the place clean. Highly recommend these guys to get the job done right!"

"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

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.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

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.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Yes, it’s possible to install a sewage ejector pump outside rather than in a basement. However, there may be some extra steps involved, including running pipes from the inside to the outside of your home and digging (and re-filling) a hole for the basin. If you aren’t comfortable with this type of work, contact a plumbing pro to handle it for you.
