We originally contacted AFS for some uneven flooring. They suggested installing floor supports in some key locations and warned us that later we may have the need for girder beam support. That day arrived when AFS showed up for a routine inspection of the original support piers. Todd, our sales representative, was thorough with his explanation and made the options we had clear. The install day, Micah and Kayden communicated their arrival time and worked extremely hard all day. The job was 2 days and they again let us know they were coming early the next morning. Again, they worked very hard all day long and into the early evening. I can't say enough about their work ethic. It was refreshing to witness. They got all the steel placed on the girder beams and extra support piers in place. Great experience and we would highly recommend them if you are in need of any type of foundation issues.

I needed someone to just inspect my foundation for a second opinion and despite knowing this would be a quick inspection, Andy was still willing to come out and take a look to alleviate any fears I had that there was major damage to my foundation. He has communicated throughout the entire process and explained to me everything thoroughly. He was even kind enough to show up early.

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.

My front porch steps are concrete and were pulling away from my house so I contacted AFS for help. Dylan, Tanner, and Mason came and checked everything out near my steps to see where water pipes and septic pipes ran before they started the job. They answered all my questions before they started. They broke out the concrete, hand dug to find footings, ran piers to 1600 psi, did lift procedure, and fondly sealed cracks and patched the concrete. Overall they did a good job and I'm well pleased.

Micah and Mikey were very professional during the installation our the Intellibrace Steel Beams. They were prompt with their arrival and completion of services. They were both friendly to my dogs and daughter who were present. They cleaned up the area after they left and answered any questions I had about the process. 5 star service! Fred H was our certified field inspector and he was very thorough in answering our questions and talking us through the process.

Jackson, Mikey and Michal did a fantastic job stabilizing my house. They had to add 23 posts and steel beams all throughout a house built in 1962. The house before they came had developed a very shaky floor system and had sank 3 inches in some areas. It is now solid. I am really pleased with their work and their timeless. I give them 5 perfect stars plus some. I highly recommend AFS.

I have an approximately 20 year old home that sits on a full basement. Over the years I noticed a crack developing on one wall. So I called AFS to come have a look and give me an estimate on repairs. Inspector / salesman Steve McGahon called and scheduled an appointment within 24hrs. On our scheduled appointment he was on time, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Once the contract was signed and deposit was paid we set an installation date. Luckily for me they had a couple of projects moved around and got to me a few days early. Installation crew (CJ and Kieth) called to verify appointment and of course were right on time. As The installation crew prepared the worksite CJ identified an unforeseen problem with the intended plan of action. As I am no engineer by any stretch of the imagination, CJ Explained why it would need to be done a different way. She took her time to explain and show me alternative options. CJ is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional; you can tell she actually cares about customer experiences. I cannot say enough about CJ and Keith as installers. CJ and Keith kept a clean and safe work environment And worked in a very methodic rhythm. I cannot say enough about the quality of craftsmanship that CJ and Keith exude. Definitely 10 out of 10 would recommend AFS for any of your foundation needs.

Dakota Roden is such a fine man to work with. There were some technical issues in play as far as signing the contract … primarily because I am a technically challenged Baby Boomer!!! He was so very patient with me and went the extra mile in helping get the online contract secured, signed, and completed. I appreciated his patience and am looking forward to having AFS complete this job!

Foundation Expertise in Knoxville

Tennessee is ranked as the fifth state in the U.S. with the most annual precipitation. With this much rain, there’s no doubt that eastern Tennessee homeowners in areas like Knoxville, Athens, Gatlinburg, and Oak Ridge are struggling with foundation and water management issues. Summer months can be dry and hot, but most of the year is wet and often humid. Excessive humidity leads to mold growth, which can weaken both the concrete in the basement as well as the wooden joists and supports in a crawl space. It also attracts pests to your home, so not only will you be dealing with a deteriorating structure, but also an infestation.

Eastern Tennessee areas like Knoxville have primarily clay soil. Because clay soil is good at retaining water, the soil surrounding your foundation is almost always saturated with water. Hydrostatic pressure puts a heavy weight on your foundation walls and causes them to crack, bow inward, and allow water to leak inside. The constant pressure and shrink-swell cycles also affect the soil under concrete structures like patios, pool decks, sidewalks, and driveways.

These problems may seem all too familiar, as they are common in many Knoxville homes. But the expert team of professionals at AFS can help you permanently address your foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete issues. Our solutions are fully customizable to best suit your home’s unique repair needs.
