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.

The technician Emmett W, that came to my house for my yearly inspection, was also one that worked on the installation of my encapsulation last year. I was shown the pictures that he took and he explained them all to me. He told me that I may want to consider changing the pumps in my crawl space with no pressure to purchase new ones. What a delightful personality he has! He was very cordial, polite and thorough. Along with the inspection we shared stories, a snack and a hug. You must be very proud to have him as one of your techs. If all your technicians are as well trained and pleasant as he was then you have an amazing team. I definitely look forward to seeing him again in the future. Thank you Emmett. (If there were ten stars, that's what I would give him. )

The crew that came out from AFS to install 6 pillars were fantastic. They are Josh B Bailey L Isaiah W Kuda They worked awesome as a team!!! The work was explained to me what they were going to do, how they were going to do it, and what materials they were using. Answered any and all questions. One of the points they made was they would dig down till they hit rock, well here in Mt. Juliet you don’t have to dig very far as a matter of fact footer sat on rock ( 5 of 6 did) These men had jackhammers to bust out rock a foot down them undermine the footer 6” in order to get pillars in. They worked for two days jackhammering to accomplish this task. They worked together not just one doing all the work, they were awesome!!! Hard to find good workers like that anymore!!! It would be nice if they had a hoe ram attachment for their mini-x Would have saved them time and their backs. Once again they Never Slacked!!! I would highly recommend this group to do any of your work you need done ! They respected our home , yard and dogs:)! They were very professional Thank you we appreciate it very much I would like to give 10 starts but not an option. Call em you won’t be sorry you did !!!
