They left my yard in shambles and were very uncooperative. HOWEVER, that company is no longer in business, and their customers are now being serviced by Ram Jack Alabama, which is a new owner. In my dealings with Todd Workman (the owner), he has been very polite and is working with me to get some minor warranty work performed, even though he was not responsible for the problems. I would definitely recommend using them for any foundation work that you need.

I have been contacting this company for a year and a half. The warranty I have not been honored…read more Tina Youngblood who says she is in charge of this area will not answer the phone (580-447-1560) can't seem to make any decisions and the new owner Todd Workman (205-542-8700) looks at the pictures sent to him and tell me the house was done wrong and he don't know what they want him to do. He has yet to come out and look at the problem and says he has called and doesn't leave a message. I have verbally talked to him twice and he says he is busy. Mind you my home was hit by a broom truck, and the foundation is leaking and sinking. I understand it's a franchise business, but it was paid in full and I can't get a person to even give me a call back. To be continued...

I had a problem with wood floors buckling in an older home (1950's) in 2021, and had them come out…read moreto evaluate my foundation. The inspector recommended encapsulation to the tune of several thousand dollars, which I had done. Floors stopped buckling, and I had the damaged flooring replaced. Within a year, the floor started squeezing. I mentioned this to the technician at the annual inspection, and he said he needed to adjust the humidity. well, the squeezing became progressively worse. It wasn't until now, 4 years later, at the most recent inspection, that the technician was able to diagnose improperly braced "chain walls". (Jamal is a great technician, by the way.) I'm very irritated that I was not informed of this problem 4 years ago at the initial inspection, or 3 years ago at the next inspection, or 2 years ago.... I could have dealt with the foundation issue at the same time as the encapsulation, and potentially saved quite a bit of money, as well as years of aggravation with squeaky floors. I spoke to the AFS manager, Bill in Atlanta today to complain, and all he did was badmouth the former employees, suggest that the improper bracing was something that happens over time in old homes (does that mean the bracing was proper at the first inspection, but somehow became improper over the years? How is that possible?) He took no responsibility for the failure of his employees to notify me of this issue before now, and suggested I just go with their new quote of $8,000+ to make the suggested repair. When asked if he had a superior I could speak with, Bill said he was an owner, and did not have any superiors. AFS appears to be nothing more than an expensive encapsulation company, with little knowledge of foundation issues and/or poorly trained employees. Hire at your own risk!

An employee from this company arrived to my place of business in a company-branded vehicle wearing…read morea uniform clearly identifying this organization. He specifically asked for one of my employees by name and proceeded to behave in an extremely aggressive and threatening manner. His language was vulgar, unprofessional and completely unacceptable in any context-let alone in a professional setting. My employee felt harassed, intimidated, and genuinely afraid for his safety. Despite being asked to leave mutliple times, your employee failed to do so. Our owner had to personally intervene to defuse the situation. The police (Pelham Police Department) were called and responded quickly, but your employee had already left the premises by the time they arrived. My employee is left feeling unsafe and on edge, with real concern that this individual may return and attempt to retaliate. This is not just a matter of inappropriate conduct-- this was an act of workplace intimidation and harassment, possibly bordering on criminal behavior. We are prepared to share further details and cooperate with law enforcement as needed. Please take this matter with the seriousness it deserves and respond promptly.
