People need to stop taking on more work than they can handle. There's no excuse to keep making commitments with customers, breaking them, and continuing on in silence after you fail to keep your word. Companies like this will slow your project down, but always send your invoice right on time and have the nerve to threaten you with a late fee as well as interest and legal fees if you don't pay them when they want to be paid. Time is money for the customers too, but they have no concession for you when they drop the ball and that's a shame.

This company is horrible. Do not give them your money. Do not let them touch your house. All those…read moregreat 5-star reviews from several years ago were under the company's previous owner. The current owner, Brian, doesn't care if his company's repair job is done correctly or fixes the issue they were paid to fix. We hired Foundation Worx to add support under a hallway in our home. The job was done incorrectly, creating a large bulge in our bedroom floor and causing substantial drywall damage. I emailed Brian immediately and received no response. After calling the company a couple times, they finally sent out a salesman who doubled down on the improper repair and claimed there was no need to make any adjustments or corrections. We hired a structural engineer who confirmed the job didn't resolve our hallway issue and actually made it worse. We sent a Right To Repair letter certified mail to Brian, which he was supposed to respond to within 30 days. Brian did not respond. After waiting over seven weeks for a response that never came, I emailed Brian again and asked for a refund, as our house experienced significant further damage while we were jumping through these hoops trying to get a resolution from Foundation Worx. Brian finally responded but only offered to repair their project, 6+ months after they broke our house. This repair should have been offered to us immediately. As we could not trust Foundation Worx to repair our home properly or in a timely manner, we paid another company to do it. I requested a refund from Brian multiple times and this request was ignored. Save yourself the nightmare we went through and hire another company.

This is my first yelp review ever and I'm doing so because apparently this company or at least the…read morewoman who answers the phone, says they don't do what their business says they do! I have a leak of some kind in the lowest level of my townhouse. A room I rarely used except to store things I have figured out what to do with. Sometime last summer with all the hard rains I ended up with a leak in the back corner. I didn't know about it for months but my HOA, who won't touch anything foundation, did send someone out and with some basic testing found a spot on the outside which correlates to where the water comes inside. Since I didn't discover the problem for months there is some mold on the baseboards and edges of the carpet. I called Foundation Worx to get an estimate and explained the issue. The woman who answered the phone first told me that they couldn't do anything until the mold was taken care of! REALLY! I questioned that since if repairs are done inside before the foundation repairs are done and then we get heavy rain, I end up with new inside damage to be repaired. I repeated that I wasn't asking them to repair the inside, I wanted an estimate on fixing wherever the leak is on the outside. That's when she told me that because my townhouse was on a slab they couldn't do the repair because they would have to dig down. I'm not foundation expert but I don't see how it's possible to fix any foundation issue without digging down to see/fix that area of the foundation! Looking at other reviews where people paid deposits upfront and their people never showed - I'm glad they refused me. Stay away from this group!

He took the time to show me the cracks in my foundation and clearly explained why my home would benefit from SettleStop Push Piers. I've been a customer of AquaGuard for four years, ever since they encapsulated my crawlspace. I've been very satisfied with both their initial work and the annual servicing since then. In fact, it was during one of these routine visits that the foundation issue was identified. I'm grateful Nick caught the problem early and put together a clear plan to stop the settling before it gets worse. It's reassuring to work with a company that stays proactive and stands behind their service.

I have a long history with Aquaguard. I keep giving them chances and end up wasting my time and…read morebeing sorely disappointed. I had them out several years ago to give me a quote on raising a walkway that had dropped a few inches after some work was done underneath to repipe. They told me that their minimum to come out was $2,500 and that I should look to find some work to justify their effort since the repair I wanted was less than 1/5 of the total $2500 cost. I had nothing else to repair and sent them on their way. A few weeks ago I responded to a facebook ad about a similar type of repair, not realizing that it was Aquaguard. After partially filling out the questionnaire about my needs, the name Aquaguard popped up so I declined to go further. The next day someone from GroundWorks called me and explained that the person who told me about the $2,500 minimum was lying and that they could do the job for much cheaper. He explained that the person just wanted to estimate a larger job, that Groundworks had recently purchased Aquaguard, that they were changing their business practices, and that the person who had given me the previous quote was no longer with the company. (He implied that he was fired). He said that yes they do perform much smaller jobs and wanted to send someone out. Eventually, I said yes. I knew something was wrong when the guy they sent out called me the night before and asked 'Were the decision makers both going to participate?' and 'If I had at least 90 minutes for their inspection and discussion'. I told them yes but I was not about to spend 90 minutes of my time with them. When the estimator arrived he wanted to sell me on their company. I told him I had heard it before and just wanted an estimate. I shared with him the story of my previous appointment. After looking at the problem area he came back and told me that what the first estimator had told me several years ago about a $2500 minimum was correct and that they could not perform the job cost effectively. They wanted $2,500!! For that price I could rip it out and pour new concrete! No thank you! To add to this I had them come our a few years ago to quote a lintel repair at my garage door. They quoted me $11,000. That was almost 40% MORE than I was quoted by the company that invented, manufactured, and offered installation on the repair bracing Aquaguard was proposing. So, I purchased the lintel and installation direct - and it was also a heavier duty one than the one Aquaguard quoted, for over $4,000 less! I do not like their business practices. I guess they incentivize their salespeople based on the number of appointments they set up. But they just wasted both of our time. AND THE LYING! Do not use this company!

While several local companies were booked out for two weeks or more, we were able to secure an appointment with this company within just one week.

They provided the peace of mind we needed during our Due Diligence Period, along with a clear report outlining what needed to be addressed and a helpful breakdown of next steps. Thankfully, the issue wasn't as severe as we initially feared. I highly recommend this company for their responsiveness, professionalism, and overall service.
