"Here's a more concise version of your review: --- We chose Basement Authority of West Virginia for foundation encapsulation after Morganâ s inspection and excellent explanation of the process. Their estimate was the most competitive. The job was completed punctually by Aiden and his professional crew. Morgan followed up with a detailed second inspection, answering all our questions. Overall, we're highly satisfied with their work and professionalism. Greg Harrah Scott Depot wv"
"Very professional and friendly customer service, from the estimator to the foreman. Even though unforeseen work was necessary, the job was completed by the time they said. I had 2 previous estimates and one was 3x the cost and the other company said they couldn't even do this job. I HIGHLY recommend Alford services for foundation repair."
"Went above and beyond what was required of them. I am 64 years old and live alone and he has been here twice and his men have been here once working. I had problems with a pipe leaking under my home and he sat down at my kitchen table with his laptop and hunted a repair man for me call them up himself got quotes and set up an appointment that he absolutely did not have to do to help me out because I didn't know what to do or who to call. He has come and talk to me trying to help me get my issues fixed and if it was something they couldn't do, help me find other people that would. They set up my dehumidifier, blocked off vents and went above the job of what they were required to do to help me out. He has sent me text messages after the jobs to check and see if I needed anything. I would highly recommend the company to do any work.He has truly worked with me to get things and problems taking care of that being a 64-year-old female alone that could not have done on her own. Thank you"

"Alltek Envrionmental Services team did a great job on my basement. They did a great job cleaning up after themselves and put a lot of work into getting through our thick basement slab, they did a great job on drainage and we haven't had water problems since. Once we are ready to get the steel beams put in place to finish our basement repairs we plan on contacting alltek again!"
"EXCELLENT experience!!! The crews worked five days to accomplish this work. It was hard, dirty work and we never heard a complaint at any time. The men were always courteous, respectful and treated us like family. They truly exceeded all our expectations...even showed up with some rocks to fill a pothole in our unpaved driveway--now that was extraordinary! They receive our highest accolades. We would love to recommend them to others! "
"Jodi was the only contractor to be prompt and detailed with his bid. All others talked vaguely about what they were going to do (maybe to add money later on?) or just didn't come back because maybe it was above their skill level? He was also the only one who could accurately describe the expected water damage and what could happen during the repair process. There were some bumps in the road with a worker of his who did not correctly rebuild some areas. Jodi recognized this before I had to say anything and he promised to make it right. Because of the rework he had to do, it added cost to the job but he did not pass those charges along to me. He stayed at his bid price, cutting into his own profits, and he did everything perfect. I'm not a professional carpenter but I can see good and bad work. Jodi explained everything he was doing and why. He even dealt with a couple of my special requests. He went above and beyond what most contractors would have done. He seems proud of the reputation of his business. The schedule went a bit longer than I would've liked but there some things that were out of our control that just happens when doing repairs like these. When materials were on site, work was done quickly. The special order windows had some issues with Lowes but even they took care of it. I was nervous hiring a contractor for the first time. I usually do repairs myself but this was a little out of my range. I went to Angie's list to find a reputable contractor because I needed to spend this kind of money once and get it done right. I will definitely hire Machen Home Improvements to do repairs in the future as he has been attentive to everything I have asked. "
"Recently purchased a new home, previous owners left a dangerous drop off and this company not only fixed the problem within a timely manner they also were polite, personable and reliable. I highly recommend this company for any excavating work. Radar Excavating is the only company I use for any further work."
"Looking for Quality Service; look no further. Pro Movers is the Provider you need to organize your move. Daniel and his crew really made my move smooth as silk. They took excellent care of all my belongings and worked expeditiously. They worked tirelessly the entire contracted time and made sure I was satisfied every step of the way. Great value for all the hard work they do. I was extremely satisfied!"
Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.
Addressing gaps and cracks reduces heat loss and improves energy use.
Although some concrete cracks are cosmetic, others can be more serious. Cracks wider than ⅛ inch or that extend through the slab are serious and can cause structural damage. If you notice these types of cracks in your concrete patio, contact a local contractor who installs concrete patios to inspect the damage and determine how to fix it.
You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.
A leak under your foundation from a water supply line or sewage line is likely to lead to water pooling on certain areas of your property during rainfall, abnormally fast-growing or green grass in certain sections of your lawn, and differential settlement of your foundation, which can result in large foundation cracks, windows and doors failing to operate properly, a wavy or sloping roofline, or damages or irregularities in your interior walls, including cracks and bulging. If it’s a plumbing line embedded in your slab, you’ll also likely notice above-average water bills.
