Just had AFS's expert team encapsulate my crawlspace. Kyle Davis, Dboe, and Quinton over the course of 2 days completely sealed and protected my crawlspace from moisture and installed dehumidifiers. Kyle did an exceptional job of keeping me in the loop of what they were doing, and set proper expectations on the timeline in a clear and professional way. I truly mean it when I say that these men went above and beyond to ensure that my home was protected and cared for. I will 100% be using AFS again for any future foundation needs I have.

Shepard and Cage came out from AFS to lift some sagging concrete around our pool. They texted before they came, introduced themselves and went through the process to make sure I understood the project. They completed the work quickly then gave me a tour, a recap of what was done and the continuing support that I would receive over the next 5 years to ensure satisfaction with the product and project. The project turned out better than I had hoped. Also, I could not have asked for two nicer and more professional young men as Cage and Shepard. My thanks and appreciation go out to both them and the AFS company Carla Rey

AFS had highly professional technicians to work on my project. They arrived early and completed an estimated three-day job in two days. John, Darien and DKota were efficient, practical and novel in their approach to working around water and gas outlets, electrical breakers and a large AC unit. The tractor they used had to carefully be moved into place between a retaining wall and the home's 60-year old awning. Lifting the 60-year old addition to a 74-year old home was no small feat, but done expertly by the AFS crew.

Exceptional Service and Trustworthy Company I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Cody and his remarkable team at AFS. When the initial installation fell short, they stepped in with unwavering dedication. Cody personally assessed the situation, and his team worked tirelessly to fix all the issues. The best contractors were mobilized, and they expedited the resolution. Not only did they address the technical aspects, but their commitment to customer satisfaction was extraordinary. Cody went above and beyond, ensuring that we were completely satisfied. He met with us face-to-face, patiently addressing our concerns and making certain that every detail was taken care of. Itâ  s rare to encounter such personalized service in todayâ  s business landscape. What truly sets AFS apart is its integrity. It stands by its product and its word. Its veteran-friendly ethos isnâ  t just a marketing ployâ  itâ  s genuine. But it doesnâ  t stop there. AFS is also family-oriented, inclusive, and rooted in human values of faith. I wholeheartedly recommend it for its exceptional work, outstanding team, and unwavering commitment to its customers.

Charles Halmark is an exemplary example of the perfect employee. This man was on time and did every inspection by the book and then explained everything in detail. This was the best explanation of things going on under our house that I have ever heard and he made it all make sense. AFS you need to keep this guy around!!! AFS as a whole is a great company also. The barrier that they laid in our crawl space still looks new after several years. The sump pump is still working when it needs to and the dehumidifier is also still working great. Thanks AFS!

As a realtor, I hired this company to perform foundation work for a client of mine. The initial experience was positive, thanks to their sales representative, Kyle. He was exceptionally professional and conducted a much more thorough inspection of the property compared to another company I had considered, which ultimately led to hiring this team. Unfortunately, the crew that arrived to perform the work was not as professional. Since the work was done inside the home, the client was assured that their belongings would be covered and protected, but this promise was not upheld. The tenants occupying the property called me to express their frustrations. They reported that their belongings were left uncovered and were coated in dirt and dust. They had to stay in a hotel due to the disruption. To make matters worse, one of the workers was vaping inside the house, which was particularly upsetting to the tenants as they have a small child. Additionally, construction debris was left in the front yard, and no effort was made to clean it up. There were also several lapses in communication throughout the process. While this experience was extremely frustrating, I have to commend the production manager, Brett, for stepping in and saving the situation. Brett took full accountability for the issues and addressed every concern head-on. He apologized multiple times and went above and beyond to make things right. Brett covered the cost of the tenants’ hotel stay, ensured that damaged items in the house were repaired, paid for flooring replacement, and even wrote a check for over $1,600 to compensate the tenants for their damaged belongings. He also ensured the debris was removed and used the situation as a training opportunity for the company. Although this experience started poorly, Brett's integrity and willingness to take responsibility turned it around. Without Brett’s intervention, this review would have been very different. I hope the company learns from this and improves their on-site professionalism to match the excellence of their sales and management team.

I have been dealing with AFS since 2023. I dealt with issues of water building up in my basement for over 20 years and I was not sure why. One day I ran across an ad on TV that said they could put a sump pump in the ground that would draw the water out of my house. My first great service man was Matt Hall and once he left the company I was lucky enough to have Charles Hallmark come and take over services for me for maintenance needs. Charles was able to understand my concerns. Make sure my service equipment was up to date and working properly, He let me know that any service needs that I may have in the future he was available to assist me with and I did not feel rushed or pressured to purchase anything at this time. But he also made me understand the importance and urgency of me not letting any of these these items and that need to be addressed taken care of as well. I can respect that and I definitely appreciate it because everybody's not in a financial position at the same time to just fix everything. That goes a long way and keeps lifelong customers. I wish all representatives understood that. Educate your customer as much as you can and then give them the freedom of space to make decisions when their financial able to. If you're an AFS future customer or existing customer and you're looking for a gentleman who understands and will make sure the service is done right, please ask for Charles Hallmark.

Foundation Expertise in Columbus, GA

Situated along the Alabama border, Columbus is in southwestern Georgia. The summers in the region, as well as the surrounding areas of Cataula, Cusseta, and Buena Vista, are very hot and humid. The winters are somewhat cooler, and rain falls year-round. Most soils underneath and around homes like yours are loam, but the issue arises with the clay sub-soil. Soil with clay in it easily soaks up water and expands.

The expanding soil can exert pressure on your foundation walls, causing them to bow and crack and let water enter. This water leakage leads to other problems, like mold and mildew, as well as the slow breakdown of construction materials, like cement and wood. It’s critically important to take foundation problems seriously and address them as soon as they are noticed. Otherwise, it will only get worse and lead to more damage, unsafe or unhealthy living conditions, and more expensive repairs.

Homeowners around Columbus just like you experience the same problems, and the expert team at AFS Foundation Repair can help. Our team of professionals will accurately diagnose the cause of your home’s issues and permanently address them with fully customizable foundation, crawl space, basement, and concrete repair solutions.
