Why your neighbors trust AFS Repair

We've earned 2,694 five star reviews.

"Everyone I have dealt with at AFS over the past few years have been amazing, polite, professional, and friendly. I like seeing pictures of what we are discussing. Sean came last Fall for an inspection & discovered a rotting beam. I was having work done on the house so my contractor took care if it. Tyler came in March to check a first floor room that seemed to have a problem. Riley and Anthony installed another metal beam with supporting jacks a few weeks later. I was impressed when Riley complimented my contractor's replacement work. All four of these men represent AFS well. They are well trained and explain everything very well. I highly recommend Huntsville AFS for any foundation work needed."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Athens

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
