If the expertise of an engineer is required for any specific situation, our licensed, professional engineer will be able to review all recorded video and data to aid in the proposal process.
Once an agreement for repairs is reached, our friendly, professional office staff will be in contact to arrange your installation. We are proud to have an in-house, consistently trained, background checked installation team to perform all your necessary repairs. Each project is over-seen by an engineer and you receive a final paperwork packet with the professional engineer’s stamp of approval and signature.

J. Sobota
The crew was very polite and professional. They answered all my questions. You stabilized the whole foundation rather than a portion of it. The biggest seller was the lifetime warranty. I have been in the maintenance business for 30 years and was very impressed with the system you have created to stabilize foundations.
D. Chuckro
Representative was knowledgeable, helpful and answered all questions. No pressure!! The workers were thorough and efficient. They covered the area to protect from dirt and dust while installing the pump. They tested the pump and explained its operation.
M. Lagoy
Great work. Very professional crew. EFS installed very secure beams to halt the progression of a tilt and bow in our basement wall. The system solved the problem. Very well done! I highly recommend EFS.
C. Stehle
Thank you for the excellent job you did on my home recently. The crew worked diligently to stabilize the foundation in both the front and rear of the house. They have a very strong work ethic, kept the mess to a minimum, were dependable, and in the area left the area neat, clean, and looking as much as possible as it did originally. I was very happy with the experience and will not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone needing this type of work in the future.
P. Schaeffer
Prompt, courteous, good follow-through, kept us informed. Thank you for a job well done – to our expectations, in a timely, efficient and competent manner.
R. Thomas
Staff all seemed very trustworthy and experienced in the business.
E. Levy
I wanted to drop you an email to let you and the team know how impressed I was with the job that was completed at my home in March of 2009. Both you and the team were extremely professional. I appreciated that you spent so much time to review in detail and help me understand the exact work that was being done or going to be done. I also appreciated that everything was cleaned up and back in order once the job was completed. Again, thank you. I would recommend you and the team to anyone that has any type of structural problem with their home.
B. Morris
I cannot tell you how very grateful I am with the work. The results were instantaneous. Thank you!
E. Rogers
I am not easily satisfied, you exceeded my expectations.
H. Van Lynn
I look forward to working with your company; I did a lot of research and I’ve heard nothing but good things regarding your work. And, I thought you’d like to know that neither of the other two companies who visited for estimates noticed the cracked joists and one didn’t even notice the locust beam which has lost complete contact as a support. And, of course, neither brought lasers to measure up any structural differences. So, thank you for your thorough “check-up” of my home.

If you are looking for someone to do foundation work on your home or business, Engineered Foundation Solutions are the people to call! After contacting them through their website, I was contacted the next day to set an appointment for an estimate. They worked with my schedule and I met with Brian within 5 days. I explained to Brian my problem and they developed a plan to solve it . I had an proposal in 3 days. After I sent my down payment and they put me on their schedule, Shannon their office manager contacted me every Friday to keep me updated that they were still coming on that date. Jeff their engineer, came to my house a week before work was to start to go over the work to be performed and answer my questions. Their work crew was very friendly and professional. From day one, I felt like they cared about solving my problem and that we were part of their family. I highly recommend Engineered Foundation Solutions for all you foundation repair needs!

Engineered Foundation Solutions was a pleasure to work with, from the owners Bob and Jeff who performed the inspection and planning, to Shannon who coordinated the project and kept in weekly contact, to Brian who oversaw the work, and his crew. They were professional, courteous, informative and hard workers. They completed the job on time despite a few surprises underground, rain, and a holiday weekend. The price they quoted was a little higher than the other two estimates we received, but the degree of expertise and professionalism was well worth that price, particularly for an expensive and long lasting investment in our home. I wish they did all things house related, I would hire them for everything.
Description of work:
We had cracks appearing in the plaster on our first floor in a relatively short period of time. After consulting with numerous experts, Engineered Foundation Solutions came to look at the problem and provided the most comprehensive assessment we had to date on the problem and our options for addressing it. They isolated the biggest problem as the settling of an addition that was putting stress on the main structure. We hired them to install 7 helical piers along half of the foundation of that addition. After beginning work, they found a mixture of fill and soft clay below the foundation, creating a peace of mind that our foundation would now be supported by piers extending to the bedrock below.

The entire team at Engineered Foundation Solutions was amazing, from start to finish. Everyone was very personable and professional. Shannon at the office kept everything running smooth and communications were always polite and timely. The crew, Colin, Chandler and Randy worked extremely hard and never hesitated to give you their undivided attention. They took the time to answer any questions or discuss any concerns we had. We certainly felt comfortable welcoming them into our home. Despite some bad weather days, the guys left the work area clean and dry. We just can't say enough about just how great these guys are. This project was a big undertaking for us, Jeff and Bob are the main reason we selected them for it. The attention to detail, planning, and execution is evident from the moment you meet them, and carries through to the completion of the work. They set their own standards high, guarantee their work, and follow through. Engineered Foundation Solutions exceeded all of our expectations, and we are forever thankful for their knowledge, hard work and kindness.

Brian provided an in depth and clear evaluation of the situation. He and his crew were very professional and once they got to the root cause found there was further damage than expected. Brian discussed the finding with us and came up with a solution that was perfect. The day they came to do the work it was raining causing the ground to be muddy and the backhoe left marks in the front yard. They reseeded and covered the areas in hay and left the property in its original condition. They went above and beyond.

It was a positive experience from start to finish. Service was prompt, efficient, thorough. We especially appreciated the way we were kept informed all throughout the process. Also appreciated the pleasant attitude of the workers, who never complained even when up to their thighs in cold muddy water in November weather. Everything was thoroughly explained and we feel very confident in the results. Would definitely recommend them to others.

This was a unique circumstance for the extremely wet area. The house foundation (footer) was directly on top of uneven sandstone as was the majority of the floor; along with a fair amount of mud. This also led to difficulties with 'cutting' a channel to accommodate the drain and gravel, as well as the Polydrain (the footer was taller than normal basements). However, the crew was able to overcome these issues; it just took an extra day (for one person, not the entire crew). Two sumps had to be installed due to the design of the house; these pits had to be chiseled out of solid sandstone, mind you. This also meant two drain outlets had to be installed after exiting the house, one of which had to go under a sidewalk. The crew was always polite, taking time to answer my questions and concerns. The work they did was absolutely fantastic. The attention to details was the best I have seen in quite some time from a company contracted for a specific job -- and I've dealt with many contractors. Not only did they take away the material chiseled out from the basement, they did the same for excess dirt after trenching for the discharge pipe -- and they even put down coated grass seed over the new trenches. One of the outlets had to go under a deck; both through flower gardens. When they were done, you would never had known what they had to move, or remove, to have access to those areas. I had several outfits -- both local and regional/national -- come out to give estimates and was most impressed by Engineered Foundation Solutions from the onset. They were slightly higher on cost estimate than the others, but you truly get what you pay for in this case. The knowledge they exhibited from the estimator alone put some of the other companies to shame. He even found a water source under the footer that no other company saw. I cannot stress how impressed I was with this company's crew and the work they performed. I would use them again, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone with a water problem in their basement!

Thanks, Bob.
In 23 years of owning our home, this is the first time our basement had NO water after a heavy rain. Wish we knew about you when we purchased our home. Finally, we have peace of mind about our basement.
