I live in far Eastern Tennessee. Almost in North Carolina, and trying to get any home Repair is extremely difficult, so it was a blessing when the AFS inspector showed app was very timely, polite and very good at communicating …he gave me exactly what I needed to know about my home. It is over 100 years old and I could find no one over the past 2 and a 1/2 years who might look at the foundation and do the repairs. Caleb Loy was courteous, efficient and very well spoken. He did an excellent job of explaining the situation of my foundation, using actual pictures for real time accuracy so I could grasp the seriousness of the disrepair and neglect from previous owners, and then gave an exemplary presentation of how my home could be saved, and last for future generations. If you are near Butler, Johnson City, Kingsport to Knoxville, ask for Caleb Loy.

Charlie was very thorough with his inspection. He walked us through the whole process. He not only told us what our problems was but also showed us. He was very patient when we asked questions. He also not only wanted to get rid of the mold but fix the problem causing the mold and moisture. He also came up with a solution to fix the foundation problems that I have

Rhett was my project manager for the encapsulation under my house. He was extremely informative, made sure i understood what my options were, always (literally) willing to answer any questions i had through the entire process and definitely not afraid to say he needed to get back to me if he wasn’t 💯 positive on the information i was asking for. I really appreciate his patience and integrity through the entire process. I shopped several different companies before making my decision to go with AFS and in full confidence recommend Rhett for your under house moisture control. Taylor and his crew did the cleaning and installation under my house. Fantastic job! I was impressed by the professionalism, complete respect for my home, and constant contact with information of the process. There were a few times that original plans needed to be changed and he handled each instance with professionalism and poise. The pride in what he does not only shows in his work, but also in the way he leads his team. Highly recommended him for cleaning and installation.

AFS HAS PROVEN ONCE AGAIN THAT THEY LEAD THE INDUSTRY! Jackson(foreman), Micah and Mikey in capsulated our crawl space after Eli came to do a service and showed us the problems that were lurking.

We are pretty hard to please and have high expectations on our home; THIS TEAM DELIVERED 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They aren’t even finished with our project yet, they’re about to end day 1/2 and I am impatient and just had to say this. My husband and I are newlyweds. We are young, inexperienced with contractors, and we were nervous because all we hear about are horror stories of people who come to work on something at your home. These guys are beyond incredible. The entire company is obviously so competent, professional and passionate. Everyone from Ben Sizemore who gave us 4 HOURS OF HIS TIME to sit down with us and go through every detail of this project, down to the foreman Trent Baker who headed up his team of 3 guys as they’ve spent the entire day working. I’m blown away by everyone’s kindness, cleanliness, professionalism, etc. and these are young men!! They all deserve raises, compliments, and when (not if because you must) you hire them, go to the store and buy them snacks and drinks. They deserve it. I wish this company did regular home renovations because it feels like it can only go down from here haha! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our very first home improvement a wonderful experience. I’m so beyond grateful. I’ll update my review after they’re all finished. I know it’ll be even better tomorrow. 🤍

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.

We needed to waterproof our basement and had the pleasure of working with the team from AFS. Matthew R., Shawn L., and Hugo N. were all very professional, courteous, and worked so hard to make sure they got the job done as soon as possible. Matthew made sure to give us progress reports and updates during the project window and answered any questions we had along the way. They finished ahead of schedule, but not because it was rushed. They just worked that hard! Thank you very much for all your hard work!

We recently had AFS come out and inspect for a possible foundation issue. Caleb arrived as scheduled and explained what he was going to do. Took about 1.5 hours to complete and he gave us the good news that we didnt actually have a foundation issue. It was a problem with the stucco finish. Rather than try to push a non existent problem he said it would be ethically wrong for him to do that. Character and trust in AFS was gained that day and will be quick to advise others to use the company if they need assistance. Thanks Caleb again for your time.

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.
