We had found some issues in the basement that seemed troubling. Charles came and inspected the basement. He was knowledgeable and thorough. We appreciated his assessment and were left with peace of mind. I would definitely seek Charles out should any issues arise in the future. His services and expertise came highly recommended and we were not disappointed.

Excellent. Chuck was honest and very knowledgeable. He gave us peace of mind that there were no serious problems, and gave us helpful guidance on how to prevent them in the future.

Excellent. Charles came at a short notice to inspect basement of home we are buying. He also spent time on the phone discussing many of my concerns beforehand. Definitely would hire again.

Basement inspection went well. Charles answered all our questions and explained thing clearly. we were very happy with the inspection (this was part of a real estate transaction). He alerted us to some items so we were prepared for the future.

Very well, Chuck was on time and was very polite. He inspected our basement walls and eased our concerns.( A large company had quoted us close to $40,000 to do an immediate repair. This company told us our basement walls were terribly bad and needed immediate repair.) Chuck gave us some advice, extend the downspouts and re-grade the yard. Chuck told us that there wasn't a problem with the basement walls. He eased our concerns and saved us a small fortune.

I was recommended to use Charles in addition to home inspector. Charles did a thorough examination of of the house inside (basement) and outside. He made numerous recommendations on issues at hand and how to prevent the issues with proper maintenance. Chuck is wealth of information and provides an unbiased opinion for the homeowner. I highly recommend his services.

Chuck was amazing, even though there was a misunderstanding and I didn't hirer him. The buyer had hired Chuck to completed the foundation inspection on our home without informing us. So when he came to my door I was completed shocked and leery. However, he assured me his quality of work and professionalism. In addition, when Chuck realized that I had no knowledge of his appointment and that I was supposed to pay him and not the individual whom hired him, he offered not to charge me for the inspection. Since I was going to pay someone anyway for the foundation inspection and the misunderstanding was not his fault, I choose to pay Chuck for his work.

Chuck was amazing! He was more fairer than fair and took the time to educate me on things I did not know about basements and recommendations on things to do next to help solve the problem. I would hire Chuck again in a heart beat! What an honest great guy!

Really responsive and willing to help, yet unprofessional at times. Final report had subjective information, instead of objective, which made it difficult to concisely understand the proper action needed to resolve basement issues.

Charles provided a wealth of information for myself and the buyer of the house for the basement issue that was discovered. Charles explained the problem, bowing wall with horizontal crack, and provided a great deal of comfort in addressing the issue in an easy to understand manor. What I find especially valuable is that Charles is not selling anything in the way of repairs. He provides unbiased inspection and mitigation suggestions. I will wholeheartedly recommend Charles to anyone in need of possible basement repairs. Sure, someone may be enticed by a free consultation. But, that consultation may lead to spending thousands more for work that is not necessary.
Response from Charles Weber Consutling
"Sadly, some people knowledgeable in the field of foundation repair use that knowledge to take advantage of trusting homeowners by selling costly and often unneeded foundation repairs. I made a choice many years ago to use my knowledge of foundation repair to protect homeowners, like Mr. [Member Name Removed], from these type of predators. Many homeowners with concerns about their foundation are afraid to deal with it because of their fear of making the wrong decision on how to correct it. Any homeowners who think their saving money by getting a free estimate from a Foundation Repair Contractor should call me before signing any contract for repairs. I am so confident about my services that if you don't feel better about your foundation problem by the time I complete my inspection, I'll wave my fee."

I was referred to Charles Weber Consulting to get a non-biased opinion on what exactly was the problem in our basement. I called and left a message. Chuck returned my call within the hour, he could tell how troubled I was about this basement issue and made room on his schedule for me. Chuck arrived about 5 minutes early, came to the side door because he didn't want to track snow into our house. Chuck went right to work and within minutes told me that I should relax, that I didn't have any structural issues. He then took me outside and told me what I needed to do, much of which I being somewhat handy could do myself. Thanks Chuck it was money well spent.
Response from Charles Weber Consutling
"Thank you for your kind words. A major reason homeowners avoid addressing their basement concerns is out of their fear of making the wrong decision on what to do. Inspections like yours remind me why I love what I do as much as I do. Foundation Repair Contractors SELL foundation repairs, that'[Member Information Removed] their job. We have many reputable, honest Foundation Contractors in our area. The reason I've been in business for the last 30 years is because of the Foundation Contractors who turn their customers into victims. Thank you for taking the time to write this review."

Went great. He spent a considerable amount of time educating me on what happens to foundations and helped set up measures to determine if problems existed. He also saved me about 10,000 in probably unnecessary repairs.

This is the third time that we have consulted with Charles Weber regarding water issues in our basement. Each time he was able to diagnose the problem and suggest a solution. This last time proved to be a very easy fix. We are very pleased to recommend this service provider.

This is the second time that we have used Mr. Weber's consulting services. Each time his diagnostic skills have been extremely useful and have helped us resolve the problems appropriately and minimized our total costs for repairs. We have also referred him to friends who have also been satisfied with his services. We highly recommend him.

I contacted Mr. Weber for help as I was having issues with water entering my basement during rain and snow falls this past year. I was worried about the damage it would cause to our already old house. He came out and examined the inside and outside of my house and told me exactly what was wrong and what to do. Replace our driveway and add down spouts was his answer. While I was praying he would not say that, we followed his advice and he was spot on. A new driveway and down spouts fixed the problem and we have not had any rain enter the basement since. I feel much better knowing the condition of my foundation will not be an issue going forward. I would recommend Mr. Weber in the future and would use him again.

Mr Weber was knowledgeable, and very professional. He told me what I had already suspected, that my problems were largely cosmetic, then gave me advice on how to do relatively inexpensive things if problems arose later on (mostly involving drainage -- where I was doing everything wrong!) I found Mr. Weber on Angie's List, where he was very well reviewed, with the exception of one apparent outlier. After reading that person's complaints, it struck me that this was an individual that had her own agenda. The review was certainly in stark contrast to the other reviews that I read, and I decided that I would contact him. I am very pleased that I did, and would recommend him to anyone who is concerned about foundation problems and wants an unbiased opinion from someone who is not in the business of selling foundation repairs.

Chuck was very helpful and responsive over the phone. He was able to have Rick come to our home in a timely manner to perform the services. We learned what we needed to know about our basement which allows us to make the appropriate corrections.
