What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
APS Foundation would advise customers looking to hire a professional for foundation repair, waterproofing, or concrete services to consider the following:
Look for Experience & Expertise – Choose a company with a proven track record in foundation and waterproofing services. Years of experience and specialized training matter.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Before reaching out to a professional for foundation repair, waterproofing, or concrete services, APS Foundation recommends customers consider the following questions:
About the Problem:
What specific issues have I noticed? (Cracks in walls, uneven floors, water in the basement, musty odors, etc.)
How long have these issues been occurring? (Recent or ongoing for years?)
Have the problems worsened over time? (Growing cracks, more water intrusion, increased settling, etc.)
Have I noticed changes in different seasons or after heavy rain?
About the Property:
How old is my home or building? (Older homes may have different foundation or waterproofing needs.)
What type of foundation does my home have? (Crawlspace, basement, slab?)
Do I have existing drainage or waterproofing solutions in place? (Sump pump, French drains, vapor barriers, etc.)
Are there trees, excessive moisture, or poor drainage around my foundation?
About the Solution:
What are my main priorities? (Fixing structural issues, preventing future water damage, improving home value, etc.)
What is my budget or financing preference? (Would financing options help make the project more manageable?)
Do I need a long-term or permanent solution? (Quick fixes might not address the root cause.)
What questions do I have about the repair process, warranties, or timeline?
