"Plumber was excellent!! He did a great job clearing my drains. Very personable, professional and efficient. Cleaned up work area and inspected remainder of plumbing. Couldn t ask for better experience. Thank you."
"I’m devoting the time to write this positive review because of Jordan Pankey and the AFS crew that took care of my family’s crawlspace water issues. We purchased a new home in 2022 and learned after living here for 6 months that we had significant (over 2’ of standing water) water issues in our crawlspace. You can see the videos of the water we found in Feb. The home was covered under a builder’s warranty; thus, we gave them first opportunity to fix the issue. No luck! After living through several failed attempts and continuing to see my crawlspace flood, I couldn’t take it anymore and asked to bring in a professional. As someone who was ignorant to water issues, I brought four waterproofing companies to my home to give me an assessment and quote. All four had a great reputation, online reviews, and overall I felt any one of the four could have improved my water problem from where I was at. I went with AFS for the following reasons: • Jordan Pankey: He was hands down the most professional, knowledgeable, and responsive sales representative that I worked with. I’m a very detailed oriented person and regularly had questions pop up in my head. Throughout the day/week/weekend, I would text or call Jordan and he would answer. In a world where it seems you have to chase contractors for help, I couldn’t have been more impressed with Jordan. • Lifetime warranty for the structure of the home: In my case, my home will always have to combat water and it was important to me to pick a solution that offered a lifetime warranty for the structure of the home – not one that says “lifetime” but the fineprint defines it as 25 years. Someday when I’m gone, whether it is my kids or a complete stranger living in this home, I’m pleased to know their water issues will be taken care of. • Reputation/Credibility: AFS’ Google reviews, A+ BBB rating, and past awards (e.g., Angi 2022 Super Service Award) are all indicators of a company who consistently performs at a high level with a high degree of customer satisfaction. With as big of a job a full French drain and encapsulation was going to be, I wasn’t interested in rolling the dice with a smaller, new company. • Quality of the material: AFS’ recommended parts and supplies were exponentially greater than their competition. For example, the encapsulation thickness was 120 mil when most of their competitors are 1/6th of that. Why? The thicker encapsulation not only prevents rips and tears from occurring, but it also helps provide a control environment for the humidity and temperature to be controlled. Both of these help with the comfort of the home upstairs; energy saving. • Fairly Priced: With the aforementioned accolades and quality of material, I was pleasantly surprised that AFS wasn’t the most expensive solution I got an offer on. They were in the middle and fairly priced. To the onsite crew DJ, Cyrus, Nick, and Aaron – Thank you. Over the two days, this AFS crew was at my house and finished the French drain and full encapsulation. Both days they busted their butt and didn’t leave without being sweaty and dirty from head to toe. This is hard work, and I greatly appreciate the time and attention you spent to take care of our home. My family can now rest at night and enjoy hearing the rain drops on our roof and not worry about flooding."

"We couldn't be happier with the results. The owner took the time to explain the process and made sure the driveway was graded correctly. The workmanship was excellent! The owner was fantastic to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about doing the job right. Since the project was completed, we've had multiple heavy rainstorms, and the driveway has stayed exactly as it should; no erosion, no washouts, and no standing water.

There are several steps you can take to prevent your AC drain from clogging. This includes cleaning the drain line at least every three months, changing the filter every one to three months, and getting your AC serviced annually. Also, if any problems arise with your AC, hire an HVAC technician to deal with them ASAP.
Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.
As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you’re unsure what’s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.
Baking soda and vinegar aren’t just great for making a volcano for your kid’s science project. You can also pour this dynamic duo down your shower drain to dissolve hair clogs. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can step it up with a commercial liquid drain cleaner.
