• I had an issue with the walls in my crawl space. The wall was cracked and lifted during the winter. Water leaked in every time it rained.  I called numerous companies to get a quote on fixing the problem. Most wanted to control the water by digging a trench drain on the inside of the foundation and direct the water to a sump well and pump it outside. Provider name locked. was the only company that wanted to really fix the problem by repairing the outside of the foundation walls and Provider name locked. new drain tiles. 
  The quote was the highest from all the companies that wanted to fix the problem. Mr. Provider name locked. was the only one who was interested in fixing the problem and not controlling the water issue. He was very honest as to what needed to be done. I signed a contract in June and was contacted a few days later to say that I would be put on the schedule and that it may take a while until I heard back from them. I had read in prior Angie’s list reviews that this was going to happen as they are backed up with the amount of work they do. I did not consider this to be a problem because I believe they are busy because of their quality work.
  I was contacted in the second week of October and said it would be scheduled for the next week. I was called a couple days before the work was to start. On the day promised an entire crew with many trucks came out and trenched around 3 - 22 foot walls, cutting concrete on all sides of the walls. New drain tiles were placed around the footers and attached to existing drain tiles around the walls that were not trenched. All were tied into sump well. During the trenching one of the walls one of the foundation walls crumbled. Mr. Provider name locked. came out the next day to discuss what was needed to fix the crumbled wall. The entire wall was replaced the following day at an additional cost and all outside walls were sealed.  A few days later gravel was added to get ready for concrete replacement. An inside sump well was dug deeper to accommodate a sump well liner. At this point the existing pipe running to the inside sump well was determined to be filled with concrete greatly reducing the flow from the drain tiles. After unsuccessfully trying to clear out the pipe, Provider name locked. the foreman had his guys remove the gravel already placed in the trench and replaced the incoming pipe completely. I think most companies would have just let it be as this required an additional couple of hours to complete this.  The work was finished and the yard and driveway were cleaned up. The crew did an excellent job of cleaning up when they finished each day. 
  The concrete work was finished a few days later when the weather permitted. Much care was taken to match the existing concrete. The overall concrete job looked excellent and I was very pleased with the results.
  Overall they did everything that was promised and I feel the quality of work was outstanding.  Mr. Provider name locked. offers a 20 year guarantee and I can see why. The work they do is high quality. The problem was fixed, not just “controlled”.

• Provider name locked. met me promptly for the estimate, explained the scope of the work required and the cost. I was in a hurry to get the job done so he was able to begin 2 days earlier than scheduled and they got right to work. The crew was hard working and trustworthy. I got 3 bids and although this was not the cheapest bid overall it was the least expensive per pier. With the amount of movement in the foundation we did not want to risk skimping on the number of piers. We highly recommend this contractor, they did an excellent job on this house.

• You never want a foundation house right but if I had one I would want Provider name locked. on my project.  He knows homes not just oops you have foundation issues.  He was open to everything I shared with him from another foundation companies review and the structural engineer.  Poor house screaming 'help me someone care' and he was not about to start crushing the house.  In fact he warned me the house would not make it, the whole thing would crack and he told me how slabs are poured.  A lot of variables with my project and his honesty was greatly appreciated on my journey.
