Awesome experience. I ran a laser in my house and found one corner had sunk 3.25" since it was built (late 70s).
Called a few companies for quotes. One company didn't measure anything, just looked for cracks in masonry/drywall, and told me to use self leveling concrete. One room alone was 2.5" out of flat, and self leveling would've covered the sill plates on the walls…
AFS actually measured, with calibrated equipment, and made a map of the house with measurements and proposed pier locations. They were timely with the quote, and getting a crew out to perform the work.
I signed the waiver, and asked the crew to not just stabilize, but to lift my foundation on the helical piers and see what inconsistency we could take out. They were cautious, and I told them to keep going as we monitored. We ultimately got the worst room (2.5" out of level from corner to corner in a 10'x13'room) to within a quarter inch on the 13' wall, and an eighth on the 10' wall!
Yes, it's more expensive than doing nothing, or using other systems. But it was totally worth it. Any remodeling work in the future would have required fighting every step of the way with other solutions. I.e. ceiling heights inconsistent. Walls bowed or out of plumb, no 90 degree corners to be found. Definitely glad I paid a bit to do it the right way. And it only took them 1 full day to do it all (7x piers).
I highly recommend AFS.

Mitch, my project manager, was so thorough and helpful. He kept me updated throughout the process and promptly answered any question that came up.
The crew that worked on my house—Uber, Jorge, Chris, and Thomas—were absolutely wonderful. They were professional and courteous. I especially appreciated their onsite expertise and excellent communication. They explained the foundation work that my house needed in such a way as to answer all of my questions and to put me completely at ease. They earned my trust with their knowledge, integrity, and quality work.
My foundation is now stable, and the process for me was a breeze because of Mitch, Uber, Jorge, Chris, and Thomas.

Seth, Andrew & Tony completely transformed our crawlspace into a mold-free, waterproof, smell free, clean, white fortress! It is phenomenal. We are amazed how this changed our air quality and helped with moisture levels throughout our home and basement.
WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thank you for making my home a safe environment for my young child and our family. We are truly grateful!
