We met Caleb Loy on August 09, 24. He kept us informed of his arrival time before getting here at 9:15AM. We sat down for an Informational Overview and then proceeded to the Crawl space for an indept Inspection. We discussed options to correct the problem after the Inspection and decided on one of the available solutions to fix our problem. We signed a contract and the work will be done this Monday, the 12th. of August. Caleb is on time and seems to know his job. It was a pleasure to work with Caleb and we are looking forward to meeting the work crew on Monday.

Jacob W. did an amazing job inspecting the foundation at my cabin. He was on time, professional and friendly. The best part was that at the end of the inspection he gave me the great news that there weren't any foundation issues to be concerned of and that everything looked normal. I would highly recommend.

Our foundation issue was more serious then we realized. Caleb did a great job while he was doing his inspection on showing us where the foundation settled and also what was causing these issues. The crew got out here quick to install the piers and were professional, hard working, and cleaned up after they were done. I would recommend AFS to anyone that has foundation concerns!

I have an approximately 20 year old home that sits on a full basement. Over the years I noticed a crack developing on one wall. So I called AFS to come have a look and give me an estimate on repairs. Inspector / salesman Steve McGahon called and scheduled an appointment within 24hrs. On our scheduled appointment he was on time, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Once the contract was signed and deposit was paid we set an installation date. Luckily for me they had a couple of projects moved around and got to me a few days early. Installation crew (CJ and Kieth) called to verify appointment and of course were right on time. As The installation crew prepared the worksite CJ identified an unforeseen problem with the intended plan of action. As I am no engineer by any stretch of the imagination, CJ Explained why it would need to be done a different way. She took her time to explain and show me alternative options. CJ is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional; you can tell she actually cares about customer experiences. I cannot say enough about CJ and Keith as installers. CJ and Keith kept a clean and safe work environment And worked in a very methodic rhythm. I cannot say enough about the quality of craftsmanship that CJ and Keith exude. Definitely 10 out of 10 would recommend AFS for any of your foundation needs.

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.

Great experience start to finish. Caleb came out for the initial inspection. Straight forward, no high-pressure sales shenanigans. the product and the price met our needs and we moved forward on the installation. Tim, Travis, & Cody did the clean out and install. I did not believe it was only a 'one day' job. But it was! The crawl space looks great, the backyard/work area looked as if nobody had been there, and the crew was professional, polite, and kept us updated on the progress. Zach was in touch with me the next day to follow up. I had reservations about AFS having been acquired by a national corporation, but besides the initial call, this is very much a locally run operation with a great group of folks who live and work right here in our community. Caleb, Cody, Tim, Travis & Zach, Thank You Again!

Every part of our transaction involving basement wall reinforcement was amazing, from the initial phone call with JoAnn, to the free inspection by Caleb Loy, to the final product installed by CJ and Baron. All personnel were courteous, professional and efficient. Best yet, my understanding is that AFS is an employee-owned company, and this is fully reflected in how all AFS personnel complete their assignments! Would absolutely use AFS Knoxville again, and will refer friends and family to AFS Knoxville for foundation repair, internal water drainage/waterproofing, and structural support.

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.
