"So very pleased! After getting multiple estimates from other foundation companies in the area, I could not be happier choosing Virginia Foundation Solutions. The attention to detail and professionalism was above and beyond their competitors and my expectations. From my initial consultation with the sales rep, to the crew installing the work, it could not have gone smoother. Everyone I dealt with was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and they made sure the work was done with accuracy! I highly recommend VFS to anyone in need of foundation repairs!!"
"This is my second time needing service from Bay Crawl Space & Foundation Repair. The first time was 4 years ago with 6 push piers installed under the foundation footer. The service was excellent then, so I knew who to call when I needed a french drain/sump pump and more push piers installed under center beam. Michael Rowlands came out and inspected and gave a quote with the same honesty and trust he gave me for years ago. He took pictures to back up all his recommendations as usual. The crew Nate, Payne, and Michael did a great job and left my property just the way they found it upon arrival. The Electrical team Paul and Adrian did a great job connecting the lights and sump pump. The finish product looked as if it was built with the house. I trust this company with all my crawl space and foundation needs and you should to."

"the work was started a few days after the contract was agreed too and signed. Work progressed fairly rapidly until we got into a period of wet weather which slowed the work down but persistence paid off and it was finally completed about on the schedule if you consider the rain days. The work looked good, the doors were installed perfectly, the old electrical cover plates were replaced. We particularly like the way the outdoor lights, outlet, power meter etc. were mounted to the house and trimmed out. overall we were very happy with the work and will use American Home Improvements and Remodeling again.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.
There are a few possible sump pump drainage locations, including a neighborhood storm drain, into a creek or pond, or underground. Don’t let your sump pump water go into your sewer or septic system. Ideally, your drainage spot should be on a downhill slope that’s at least 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. Before choosing a location, check your local codes and regulations.
DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures proper drainage and reliability.
Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.
Some questions you should ask before hiring a plumber or drainage installation company include:
Are you licensed and insured?
Do you have any customer testimonials I can read?
How do you handle unforeseen challenges that occur during the job?
Is your fee a flat rate or hourly?
Do you do the work, or do you have subcontractors?
Is everyone who does the work licensed and qualified plumbers?
Is cleanup included in the quote?
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?
