March 18 2025 Parris and Kyle with afs were on time and were very professional. Parris was the lead and he explained the entire process before the work commenced. We had 3 sections of our side driveway repaired. The entire process took approximately 2 hours. Both Parris and Kyle were attentive to the questions and very professional. We will gladly recommend Parris and Kyle with AFS for any future work. 5 stars.

Aaron DeFilippo was outstanding! He did an excellent job as our Certified Field Inspector. He was professional, kind, and very friendly throughout the entire process. Not only did he thoroughly assess our initial concern, but he also identified additional areas around our home that we hadn’t even considered. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Aaron!

Every part of our transaction involving basement wall reinforcement was amazing, from the initial phone call with JoAnn, to the free inspection by Caleb Loy, to the final product installed by CJ and Baron. All personnel were courteous, professional and efficient. Best yet, my understanding is that AFS is an employee-owned company, and this is fully reflected in how all AFS personnel complete their assignments! Would absolutely use AFS Knoxville again, and will refer friends and family to AFS Knoxville for foundation repair, internal water drainage/waterproofing, and structural support.

The beginning estimate was such a smooth process with lots of pictures, options, and clear explanations of problem areas. Easy choice to move forward with AFS and I'm glad I did. I imagined it works be an all day job, but the crew came and went in under 5 hours. Jorge, Hilmer, and Jesus did an absolutely awesome job. They had to dig under one of my flower beds and even replanted what they had to dig under! They were all incredibly friendly and efficient. I would recommend this company and crew to anyone with foundation concerns.

Tommy, Jeremy and Dylan did an impressive job installing 2 support beams beneath our home. The service they provided actually closed the drywall cracks we had inside. Very professional and courteous. AFS knows how to draw excellent employees. Great job.

Foundation Experts in Birmingham

Located in the central part of the state, Birmingham and surrounding areas including Selma, Talladega, and Tuscaloosa, has a humid subtropical climate with abundant rain throughout the year. This can lead to high humidity in your crawl space or basement flooding.

Foundation issues including settlement and bowing walls also are common in homes throughout the area. Birmingham’s soil is mainly expansive clay, which absorbs water quickly and becomes heavy when saturated by all the area’s rain. This often results in hydrostatic pressure against your foundation walls, which oftentimes may not be noticed until it’s too late and problem signs being to show themselves throughout your house.

Birmingham’s clay soil also negatively impacts any concrete slabs or other structures on your property. Concrete areas like sidewalks and driveways crack and settle due to soil expansion and shrinkage, which is all too common in the area. Birmingham is located in Dixie Alley, a region famous for its high frequency of tornadoes. The fierce winds caused by tornadoes is one of the most disruptive forces wreaking havoc on your yard and leading to soil erosion.

If all or some of these issues sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many other homeowners just like you have experienced these problems, and we at AFS are here to help with your foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and concrete lifting needs.
