Before Crawl Space Repair:
Uneven Floors and Wall Cracks
The condo owner noticed sagging floors and horizontal cracks in the interior and exterior walls. These signs indicated significant structural issues. Upon inspection, the AFS team found that the crawl space support system had been poorly designed, with girder columns spaced too far apart. Moisture in the crawl space also contributed to instability.
Unsupported Staircase
The stairwell, which connected the two units, was completely unsupported, posing a safety risk to both the homeowner and her neighbor. Buckling beams in the crawl space further confirmed that the structure was under stress and unable to support the load above.
After Crawl Space Repair:
Floors Leveled and Staircase Stabilized
AFS crews installed eight crawl space support jacks and 25 linear feet of supplemental steel support beams under the stairwell. These upgrades provided critical stabilization to both the condo floor system and the shared staircase.
Long-Term Peace of Mind
The condo’s floors and stairwell are now correctly supported. The homeowner and her neighbor can move forward knowing the foundation is secure. The quick turnaround and permanent repair helped prevent further damage and restored confidence in the home’s safety.

Definitely recommend these guys over the others in the area. I’ve had work done by another company and these guys had to complete what the others didn’t do and were much more affordable. Bobby was great at explaining the process and Michael and Cuda were the true professionals experts I expect when paying for a project. If I need any foundation/crawlspace work in the future these are the only guys I will call.

I had a couple of questions about our new sump pump, and John Jones came out right away. There was actually nothing wrong with the pump, but he explained the mechanics to me which was so helpful as I'm a first-time homeowner. The level of customer service throughout the company is top-notch.
