"Our project started in March. It was not finished. We had to keep calling for someone to finish. A diagram was made of what would be done and how much it was going to cost. Shims were supposed to be put in. We showed it to one of the many different people from AFS. One guy, Todd, I believe his name is, told us for 6,000.00 we could get shims in. The guys shot holes through our skirting around the house. The first patch job was a dark grey. These aren't the only places they shot through. Now its cracking also. How is this possibly great work for almost 10,000.00!? The last guy to come out hasn't been back since Oct. Knoxville AFS is terrible! The last guy was here in Oct and not only are they not answering calls, they don't call us back."

"We recently had an issue with the washing machine and called Barney's to come look at it. The tech arrived during the scheduled time and looked at the unit. He explained what could be the problem - there were two potential issues. The first being a switch, the other being the motherboard. We ordered the part and he came back the next day. When the problem was the motherboard, the tech told us it was not the switch and it would be better to purchase a new unit instead of replacing the motherboard - though he would if we wanted him to. He also told us that he would not charge for the part he ordered since it did not fix the washer. He also told us where we could go to look at scratch and dent units to save money. We were so impressed with Bernye's we called him back the next to fix a refrigerator that would not dispense water for some time."

"Excellent! My home was outdated and then apparently had some issues with how the plumbing and electric were originally installed causing problems.

Sump pump or interior foundation drains installations FAQs
Most 1/3 to 1/2-horsepower sump pumps use 1,300 to 2,900 watts to start up. Then, they use 800 to 1,050 watts to continue running until the reservoir is empty.
To find the right sump pump size, dig out your 18-inch-wide reservoir and observe the water accumulation on a rainy day. Start with an empty reservoir and watch the rainfall for one full minute. Measure the depth of the rainwater in inches and multiply by 60 to find the total number of gallons that build up. Multiply that number by 1.5 for a bit of wiggle room. If it’s more than 35 gallons per minute, get a 3/4-horsepower unit. Otherwise, 1/3 to 1/2-horsepower models will work.
If your sump pump is making a lot of noise, it may be time for a replacement. Other signs that your sump pump may be damaged include sump pump odors, a spike in your utility bills, or excessive pump vibrations.
You don’t necessarily need a plumber to install a sump pump. You may want to hire a handyperson or a specialized sump pump repair pro to handle the replacement or installation.
Not every basement needs a sump pump. You only need a sump pump if your basement floods during light to heavy rain. If you notice basement condensation instead, you might need basic waterproofing services.
