Recent Basement Waterproofing Reviews in Pelham
- SouthernDryGreat! They were very professional and honest throughout the whole process. I would totally use them again, but hopefully, I won't have to!
- 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 SolutionsGreat group to work with, very professional. Very competitive quote when compared to other companies in area. Would use again
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsAs you can see from the above problem I had done everything imaginable to stop the humidity in the home..This crawl Space problem is everywhere. People dont realize there is a solution to this problem. I even placed 5 damp rid bags throughout the home and had 2 Trane A/C put in. The A/C is only good for pulling out a certain amount of humidity and ours was doing all it could. So in summary this is what I had done to stop the humidity. 1) placed 6 ml poly from end to end of crawl space 2) purchased dehumidifer to pull water out 3) purchased 2 new Trane A/C and 4) placed damp rid bags throughout the home. None of this worked...I was gone for a week and the smell upon entering the home was stunning. Metal was rusting and meldew was forming on cabnits. Something had to be done...I called my Trane A/C manager and he told me I had to seal the home. I called AFC and they came out within the next week. They measured the complete crawl space and recommended placing 20 ml poly not only from end to end of the crawl space but up the walls and around any wires pipes or anything else that could bring in water or outside air. They have run this plastic up the wall and completely sealed the entire crawl space. They also put drainage pipes under the plastic to pull any water that might seeping in. There is also a large dehumidifer that runs directly to the sump pump along with the drainage pipes form directly to this sump pump...the sump pump then drains any fluid directly out of the crawl space... What do we have now...one week later my in house dehumidifier is running at 40% humidity and I dont even empty this every day. The damp rid bags are now empty. This happened by the second day. You will be shocked how well these people do their job. $11,000 is a lot of money. But there is no one better. The job is done right the first time. I didnt want to spend this amount of money and then it still not work...the crew came out completely cleaned out the crawl space and carried it off both days...this is a 2 day operation. You never see the crew. When you do they are polite and professional. They are under your home sealing up the crawl space..they got here by 8:30 and didnt leave till 7p. The salesman in the beginning will give you a catalogue that will completely show you what your crawl space looks like and what and reason you are experiencing this probem. If nothing else get this catalogue. Read it thourghly and you will see this is no gimmic. These people call several times the next week to insure you are happy with the work...The saleman is not pushy...This is completely up to you.. As you can see I did evrything that is possible to stop the moisture in my home. There is no short cut and you cant do this yourself..they have been doing this for over 20 years. If you want the job done right. If you want to stop the smell and humidity in your home call AFS. You will not be disappointed. This humidity can also cause illness, mold and meldew...STOP it today..call AFS... I am 100% satisfied with the professional manner everyone at AFS showed...They make sure you are 100% satisfied with the job they do for you..
- 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.
- 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 SpecialistsAll in all, it went well. Only took a few days. During the jack hammering the tried to seal off other finished area of the basement from the dust and were successful. They do not replace the sheetrock wall after installation, so we had to hire another contractor to repair the sheetrock, sand and paint before the new carpet was reinstalled. But that was made clear that that was not a part of their quote, so I don't feel there was any misunderstanding of the extent or coverage of their services. Overall - good experience
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsIt was a good experience. The man who came out to look it over and provide the quote told us that they were about 3 weeks out on schedule and it ended up being 6 weeks out on schedule so the scheduling was further out than we had anticipated. The man who came out was punctual however, the schedule that he told us ended up being twice as long
- 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

"After a short delay for weather, they came in and cleaned out the refuse/trash that HVAC and others services had left, then quickly went about their business. The sealing, dehumidifier (you have to change the filter regularly) and sump pump setup works well without any issues (and has been for its entirity). We are selling the house so I called and talked with Tina because the new potential buyer wants them to re-inspect and validate the warranty. There is a charge for this unless there is an issue with the system. But, there is no problem - and it is totally reasonable. I will pass that on to the buyer and will invite them to come into the crawlspace to see the good work that has held up so well since installation. I would definitely recommend them. The previous owner had another company "waterproof it" and it was not working properly and was not under warranty (i was told the warranty did not transer when I got quotes).

"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.

"Jeff Kennedy came out to the house on a Saturday to look at the sagging lintel over my double car garage door. He recommended their new patented Lintel Lift system which was a much more affordable solution than traditional lintel repair. His crew showed up on time and worked a solid 12 hours to install the lift system and to frame up both garage doors so that they matched. Very professional and a pleasure to work with them. Cleaned up after the install at 8:30PM.
