"Hired AFS several years ago. Had issues on other side of the house. Decided to hire them again. They sent out Preston, Gustavo, and Roberto. 3 guys 5 tiers with concrete work. I went outside several times to check it out. They all were steady paced work around each other like a dance of sorts. Great teamwork. Super polite and easy to talk too. Gave me insight on all the steps very knowledgeable. I never write reviews either. Great job guys. Thanks !"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Gardendale

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
