"There aren't enough good things to say about him. For starters he ALWAYS answers his phone, except the day he broke his wrist. And he totally knows his stuff. He knows the best way to achieve every little thing you might want. He's been doing this for a long time. He knows the sources, people, methods, inspectors, etc and is on top of every issue immediately. The amount of time and effort he spent on my house is far more than what I paid him for. Can't recommend him and his right hand man William highly enough. Great people doing a great job."
"AFS is still working on crawl space. Schedule for 3 days but may take 4-5 days. Work from 9:30 to 4:00 without a break. Too much water under house. Still trying to dry it out. Teams seems knowledgeable and explains every step. Price was higher than I expected, needed to take out a loan to cover it."
"great job!!! workers were professional and knowledgeable!!! the work is better than I expected! I have had many slabs poured in my 70+ years and this one is at or near the top in quality!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone that asked!!!"
"These guys are amazing! From the minute I started working with them until the project was complete they listened to my wishes and provided me with exactly what I needed. Couldnâ t recommend enough!"

"My husband and I had an amazing experience with such a very stressful project. We had a total crawlspace resurfaced, leveled and waterproofing. This company explained every step of the process from start to finish. Their pricing is extremely fair especially compared to many in the industry. The quality of work is VERY satisfying and high quality. We will 100 percent use them again."
"Our house is low and I was concerned about the increasing issues with water we were experiencing. Curt was very calm on the phone, explained what was going on and arranged a date for his team to come out to take a look. Mario came out, was very calm and thorough. He gave us some clear and simple steps to take in our yard which has stopped water pooling in the low points, and set a date for the water proofing work in the crawlspace. Curt gave us a reminder call a few days prior to the project starting. Jonathan and team came out on time and they worked incredibly hard over the next two days in a tight space. They were friendly and so pleasant. The day after they finished up, we had a heavy rainfall and the crawlspace stayed dry! Best of all, the space has already lost that musty odor! Thank you, Sundry Waterproofing!"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."
Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs.
Mudjacking is your best bet for leveling concrete on a tighter budget. It’s less expensive than foam or grout mixture. For smaller, surface-level issues, you could also use a self-leveling compound, which creates an even surface over existing concrete—it’s a budget-friendly option suitable for DIY enthusiasts.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.
It restores concrete, prevents replacement cost disruptions, reduces trip hazards, and provides stability at a lower cost.
Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.
