Imagine you’re spending the summer at your lake home. The kids are running around, the grandparents are in town, and boom—you notice a big problem that needs to be fixed ASAP.

That’s exactly what happened to Steve Payne and his family while enjoying summer at their Smith Lake house. Read on to learn what happened and how they got the problem fixed super fast.

Safety for the family

One day, Steve walked out the front door of his lake home to find that his porch was lower than normal. A porch sinking down a few inches doesn’t sound like much until you step out of the door and lose your footing. Especially when it comes to having kids or elderly folks around, you want your home to be as safe as possible.

Steve had tried to get several crews out to fix his lake home porch, but he had a hard time finding anyone reliable. But then, he find out about AFS Foundation Repair + Waterproofing Specialists—a Groundworks company—and his problem was solved in a matter of hours.

“Nowadays, it’s hard to get people to even answer the phone. But AFS had great communication, immediately scheduling a day to come by and offering me a five-year warranty. I felt like I could trust them because they’re a reputable company who’s been around for a while.”

Steve works over an hour away from the Smith Lake area, and he stays pretty busy. He needed a crew who could get the job done fast. AFS had his porch fixed in just a couple of hours, allowing him to get back to enjoying summer lake days with his family.

We got to talk to one of the specialists who worked on Steve’s home, and he explained what makes AFS different from its competitors.

“Unlike other companies, we’re actually able to save the concrete. With our techniques, you can use your porch again after a couple of hours instead of having to wait several weeks. Our goal is to take care of the project from start to finish so people can enjoy their homes again.”
