Annual Service & Maintenance For Your System
Our Fully Staffed Maintenance Department Keeps Your System At Peak Performance!
Servicing Your System
At AFS (Alabama Foundation Specialists), we maintain a full-time, dedicated service & maintenance staff to help maintain the basement and crawl space systems we install for our customers.
When your waterproofing system is in need of service or maintenance, you can count on us to be there for you!
At AFS (Alabama Foundation Specialists), we're proud to be certified installers of the patented, award-winning waterproofing systems offered by the Basement Systems Network -- which have been successfully installed in hundreds of thousands of homes worldwide!
While we're proud to be installers of the best waterproofing systems in the world, we know that sump pumps and dehumidifiers are made with mechanical, moving parts. And like the other appliances and utilities in your home, they will need annual maintenance.
Keeping Your Waterproofing System Healthy
Your sump pump and dehumidifier systems will stay working and effective longer with annual service visits from a certified technician.
Your specialist can clean and inspect your system, replace any worn-out components, and make sure that everything is ready for the next big flood.
At AFS (Alabama Foundation Specialists), we have several staff members who are dedicated to servicing and maintaining the systems we install. Scheduling routine maintenance with these experts is an important part of keeping your system running properly.
We recommend scheduling an annual service or maintenance to ensure that your sump pump and waterproofing system are operating at peak performance levels.
Our technicians can serve homeowners anywhere in our Alabama service area, including Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and nearby.
Your Professional Service & Maintenance Visit
At AFS (Alabama Foundation Specialists), we pride ourselves on the thoroughness and professionalism of our specialists. Each of our service technicians is experienced and fully trained to provide your system with a complete, comprehensive waterproofing system maintenance.
During their visit, your expert will conduct all of the following steps:
Test The Battery Backup Alarm
Homeowners can sometimes go for months or longer without using their battery backup sump pump. But anyone who's experienced heavy rains and/or a power outage knows that when you do need your battery backup, you really need it!
During your annual maintenance, your service specialist will inspect your battery backup system and alarm, making sure that the system is charging properly, and that your battery is still able to product the proper operating life for your system.
On a full charge, our UltraSump Battery Backup System should be able to pump more than 12,000 gallons.

Clean The Sump Pump Liner
Over many months and years of operation, a sump pump liner can slowly begin to accumulate mud and debris from the water as it pumps.
To avoid this becoming a clogging issue, our drainage systems are installed in a bed of gravel and out of the "mud zone", and the pumps are raised off the bottom on plastic stands. Nonetheless, we recommend cleaning the liner of this debris annually as an added precaution.
To ensure maximum clog-resistance for your sump pump system, we use cast-iron Zoeller® Sump Pumps in each of our installations. These pumps include a powerful impeller that can eject ½" solids without risk of clogging.

Test The Sump Pump Alarm
Each sump pump system we install includes a battery-powered water alarm. This alarm is designed to detect water levels that are too high in the sump pump. If this occurs, the alarm sounds off, giving you time to respond. This alarm can even be connected to some home security systems -- so you get a phone call!
Most homeowners who have one of our systems installed will never need this alarm. However, like the battery backup, you'll be glad it's there if you do need it.
When we do our waterproofing service visit, we'll make sure that this alarm system is functioning properly, and that the battery is properly charged.

Replace The Dehumidifier Filter
The SaniDry™ XP Systems we install are a complete air system for your basement or crawl space.
Along with dehumidifying the air, it's also equipped with an air filtration system that's capable of removing particles from the air as small as two microns. An optional carbon odor filtration system is also available.
Like any filter, the air filter in your SaniDry system will need to be routinely replaced -- approximately every 12 months. Your service specialist can replace this filter during their visit, and can also inspect your system to make sure it's in optimal working order.

Check For New & Emerging Issues
As is the case with any other part of your home, your basement or crawl space may develop new issues with leaking or moisture over time.
Common issues can include leaking through rusty basement windows, leaking wall penetrations (such as where a hole has been created for a pipe or wire to pass through), and issues with failing water heaters.
Your service specialist can inspect your basement to identify new and emerging issues with your space. Solutions and suggestions for potential upgrades may be recommended during the visit.
