Mobile, AL’s Reliable Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

Basement waterproofing and crawl space encapsulation in Mobile, AL

Named the wettest city in the contiguous 48 states, Mobile, AL gets on average over 66 inches of rain every year – not to mention the tropical storms and tornadoes known to disrupt the area, such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or the Christmas Day tornado in 2012. With all of this extreme weather to combat, homeowners in Mobile need help to ensure their homes stay safe and dry. That’s why AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists has been serving local homeowners with basement waterproofing services ever since we opened our doors in 2000.

If you have a wet basement with pools of water, damp spots, or even just musty odors, the professionals at AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists are here to help. There are many ways that water can enter your basement, including through wall and floor joints, basement windows or hatchways, and cracks in the walls or floors, but we have solutions that will prevent all of these leaks from occurring and will remove all water from your basement. Products such as sump pumps, French drains, dehumidifiers, waterproof walls and flooring, and much more will keep your basement dry.

We also offer versions of our basement services for crawl space encapsulation and repair. Your crawl space may be having a much larger effect on your home than you realize, as crawl space moisture can promote mold growth and impact the structural integrity of your entire home. Have a professional check out the space and decide if any of our products, including the popular crawl space vapor barrier, are right for you!

Reliable foundation repair and concrete lifting

The soils around your home in Mobile, AL have the potential to cause a lot of issues for your foundation. Different soil types absorb more water than others, leading to cycles of soil expansion and shrinkage that cause your foundation to shift, settle, heave, or develop other issues. And even though you may think all foundation problems must be obvious, that isn’t always the case at first!

Foundation problem signs and symptoms

• Cracks in floors and walls
• Uneven, sloping, or sagging floors
• Bowing walls
• Sticking windows and doors
• Tilting chimneys

If you’ve noticed any of these signs around your home, it’s a good ideal to call in a professional from AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists before the situation gets any worse. We offer a full line of products for foundation repair, developed by our industry engineers. Some of these products include foundation piering, wall anchors and braces, crawl space support jacks, and more!

Additionally, we can also help with concrete lifting and leveling using the SettleStop Concretet Raising method. Some of the signs of concrete settlement are similar to those of foundation settlement, but you’ll usually see them in your sidewalk, driveway, patio, or even garage. When we come to inspect your home, we’ll determine the causes of all of the issues we see to get you the right solution.

Test your home for radon in Mobile, AL

Another way AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists works to keep Mobile, AL homeowners safe is by offering radon testing and mitigation services. Radon gas is formed from the decay of uranium in the soil beneath your home, and it enters your home in a variety of ways. But because it’s known to cause over 20,000 cases of lung cancer every year, it’s important to reduce unsafe radon levels in your home. Let us help you discover if there is radon in your home and design a custom system to keep it out!

If you’re concerned about any of your below-the-home spaces, AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists is the experienced, reliable basement waterproofing and foundation repair company to trust. We’ve won awards from organizations such as the BBB and HomeAdvisor that attest to our skill and service.
