Recent Basement Waterproofing Reviews in Gardendale
- Greenwave Foundation & Landscape DrainageIt went very well. Could not have had a better company come out. They were very thorough and explained everything. It made us feel we made the right decision. I would definitely use them again in the future.
- H2O WaterproofingH20 Waterproofing does a fantastic job! I love all the people that I’ve dealt with. I own many rental properties and this is the only waterproofing company that I will ever use. They are professional and truly try to help the customer. Six weeks after they finish my crawlspace there was a major flood. They sent Amari back out and he helped me get everything cleaned up and they honored all the work that they did. This is a top-notch company
- Integrity WaterproofingThey were excellent to work with. They were punctual, polite, and neat, and kept me informed throughout the work. When heavy rain washed away the dirt from one area after they had finished, they came back to fill it in with no problem. I'd definitely hire them again.
- Ox Foundation SolutionsA-1 secured a corner on my house with a helical pier. They were very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire them again!
- Ox Foundation SolutionsGreat group to work with, very professional. Very competitive quote when compared to other companies in area. Would use again
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsThey said that I did not need the sump pump. They were extremely prompt. Their person came and looked. He knew exactly as to what needed to be done. They set up a date and their person came on that date. He was very punctual. They told me that they would call me on that date with the expected time of arrival and they did that. They came on time and finished the work. They cleaned up impeccably after themselves. Everything that they did was exactly as to what they said that they would do. The work was excellent and they were very good. I would use them again in the future without a doubt. The good thing was that their work was under life time warranty. So, if I sold the house, I could transfer the warranty to the buyer and it would be under the warranty for them as well which was what I liked about them. If the same problem occurred in the same area then they would do it again free of charge. They stood behind their work. It has been two years and I have not had any problem. I have not had any new problem coming up in the vicinity of the area that they did the work
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsThey were very neat and clean. They were friendly. They came out when they said they are going to come. They finished the work on time. They told me things about my foundation that I didn't know.
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsSteve Scates, based out of Irondale, arrived at my home on time at 5:30pm with the appointment made just that morning. I had requested an immediate appointment because I am selling my house and the buyer's inspection report came back with "The back right basement wall has an existing water stain on the bottom of the block." I needed an inspection and possible repair before I could close on my house in two weeks. He inspected the area and said I had no issues; he then went into great detail to explain the reasons why and told me what I would have seen if I did have a problem (the problem identified on the home inspector's report was actually a little mold on the surface of the block, in a corner where items where piled against it and didn't allow for air circulation - there was no actual water leaking problem). I asked for an inspection report and he said he couldn't provide one due to the laws of Alabama (only Professional Engineers can provide written opinions like that). I didn't want the expense of hiring a licensed Professional Engineer (I'm a degreed Mechanical Engineer but I don't hold a PE license, so in Alabama I can't provide any official opinions about anything either.)Solution? Steve gave me his business card and told me to have the home buyer and home inspector call him. He could give his verbal opinion and they could decide based on that information if this issue could be considered resolved.Also, we were looking at the roof when he arrived and he climbed the ladder to help us figure out a different issue on the inspection report. Steve gave me valuable information to help me decide the next step for that item too. Cost = nothing! Their initial evaluation is completed at no charge
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsI judge home construction and repair jobs by the crew who does the work and the quality of their skills. This compnay provides very good crews with strong skills and a good work ethic. However, Do not pay them until you are satisfied. A lack of payment is the only thing that gets the office staffs attention. The work crews were wonderful and very professional and considerate when responding to my questions. The pricing consultant was very helpful, honest, and informative. They deserve A's for their work efffort and consideration. The office staff however should receive "C" so when I averaged the two different teams together the company gets a "B". The office staff did not know when I was scheduled for repairs. When it had been a month since I last heard from them I called to ask when they were coming and the staff person said "I have been trying to call you everyday for weeks! We need to come tomorrow!" - I work at home and I am home all day so I do not believe she was "trying to call me everyday." Come to find out - One of the speciality items that had to be ordered was NEVER ordered. While the work crew started to break up my concrete, I compared the original contract with the work order, and I pointed out to the work crew that they lacked the materials and critical details I had discussed with the pricing consultant to complete the job. The crew chief was very embarrased, apologized, and called the office. They completed all the work they could and left. Over two weeks passed and I never heard from the office staff about the problem - even though I refused to pay for the work. Finally after two weeks, when I started calling the office everyday, the office staff gave me reason after reason why they had not yet ordered the materials to finish my job. However, after venting my frustration upon every living being in the office, when the materials finally arrived a month later - the crew finished the job quickly and after 6 months of rainy weather, I can report the work was very well done. I therefore was very satisfied with the job because I would rather have top notch work done on my home and explode all over the staff than have a sweet little staff person and a lousy repair job
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsHe was very professionally and he gave a lot of information in the mail. He provided excellent service and I recommend him to everybody. He was not very expensive. He told us exactly how he is going to do it and gave a quote along with options.

"AMAZING!! First of all I had other quotes prior to hiring this company. They took at least a week to get back to me. Carlos was very thorough in his inspection and gave me a quote same day. They started work within a week of quote and finished in less than a week. I could not ask for a better outcome. They replaced the soffit and fascia, painted the siding, new shutters, pressure washed my brick, re-glazed the windows. They also pressure washed my whole driveway !! Carlos gave me daily updates. Everyone on the crew were very polite and worked very hard everyday until dark. They cleaned up behind themselves daily. I am so impressed with the workmanship and I will be using them in future projects. I highly recommend this company.

"It helped save my life. I recently lost my Husband and his income.
My air conditioner went out. My
Windows are painted shut. So I thought about adding screens to the burglar iron doors. My Husband was the epitome
of a Handyman. With him suddenly and unexpectedly dead and his income too, I felt helpless but not hopeless. I put a request in on Angie’s list. Got four calls.
One couldn’t help. One I couldn’t afford. One kept promising to
come but did not.
But “Handyman” Bidwell Company made and kept an appointment with me, accessed the job, went and priced the cost,
provided a reasonable cost that I could afford, accepted the
job, made the frame
and screens. Today I opened both the front porch and side
Carport doors and let
God’s breeze of fresh air circulate
my lungs and my home, I feel
pleased and wonderfully
blessed to be able to breathe in my home especially since
I suffer from acute asthma. I appreciate their quick turn
around, their courteous customer
service and professionalisms.
Sending a special Thank you to the Bidwell Company and a special “Thank You” to Sawyer Bidwell.
Thank You
