Challenges
AFS understands that in building construction and management, there are a variety of challenges that can present themselves. Our team of construction and design experts are ready to work with you on solving your biggest foundation and waterproofing challenges. AFS can take on existing building repair or work with you on a new construction project.
In new construction, poor soil characteristics and the presence of excessive water often drive the cost of the project up as remedial measures have to be taken to overcome these obstacles. Existing buildings can also face similar challenges that threaten the continued integrity of a building’s systems. Periods of sustained droughts or rain can affect the soil under a building, causing it to shift. In addition, a building’s purpose may change several times in its life, often posing greater load demands of its structure than what it was designed for.
Geotechnical & Commercial Solutions Include:
Diagnosis
AFS offers property owners, builders, or building managers on-site consultations to help you determine the best solution for foundation and waterproofing challenges.
Engineered Design
Our engineers are experienced in the industry, offering in-house drafting and design to create a tailored solution to fit your need.
Custom Installation
Since 2000, AFS has specialized in providing the highest quality of workmanship, performing installations customized for each particular challenge.
AFS Offers Permanent Solutions to Your Residential & Commercial Building Challenges
Deep Foundation Underpinning
Our pier systems use steel piers to support your foundation deep below the surface, permanently stabilizing and preventing future settlement in the area of repair.
Slab On Grade Stabilization
Our slab pier system uses sturdy, galvanized support piers to provide solid support for your slab and eliminate further settling or cracking.
Settlement Mitigation
Our floor support system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability to sagging, insufficient floor joists in your crawl space.
Water Intrusion
Our waterproofing system is a patented interior water mitigation method that traps, channels, and removes water from buildings.
Retaining Wall Stabilization
Our innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed soil beyond your foundation.
Concrete Raising
We raise and stabilize concrete by injecting a high-strength polyurethane mixture that expands to fill voids under the most heavily-trafficked interstates to the smallest driveways and sidewalks.

Commercial Case Studies
Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel
The AFS Production Team was able to work with the building owners, renovation team, and structural engineer to achieve a repair plan and installation that provided a successful foundation repair.
The push pier crew only needed three days to install and was able to achieve approximately 0.5 inches of lift on the building corner.
TDOT 1-24W Concrete Highway
TDOT selected SettleStop Concrete Raising to fill voids under the pavement and lift 9 approach ramps back to original positions on 5 different bridges of 1-24W.
Due to SettleStop Concrete Raising’s quick-set nature, the AFS SettleStop Concrete Raising crew was able to open lanes of traffic once the traffic control was removed following injection. The project was completed in five days.
