All reviews for 58 Foundations & Waterproofing

I recently had 58 Foundations fully encapsulated my crawlspace and have a dehumidifier installed. Its been just 4 months but I had some questions and wanted to make sure that I knew how to check on the filters and drainage. 58 Foundations immediately sent Johnnie Best and Lamar Riley to my home. I must say these 2 men where the BEST EVER and I feel that they went above and beyond making sure I understood everything. I am so happy and pleased that I was able to work with these guys. I highly recommend 58 Foundations and I must say that these service guys made my day. THANK YOU Johnnie and Lamar!

We had five different companies come out for quotes, and we ultimately chose 58 Foundations for our crawlspace encapsulation—and we’re so glad we did. Todd was incredibly helpful during the consultation, walking us through cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.

Lawrence and his crew did an outstanding job. Their work was meticulous, and the pricing was very reasonable. The liner they installed is thick, high-quality, and extremely tear-resistant. A plumbing crew came through just days later, and you’d never know it—they even commented on how well-done and easy to work in the space was.

They also installed an Aprilaire dehumidifier, one of the top brands available, and within just a few hours the entire crawlspace felt dry and comfortably cool. I had some initial concerns about the unit being strapped to the joists with wire, but there’s absolutely no vibration felt through the floor—none of the issues some people worry about.

This was truly an A+ job from an A+ company. Highly recommended!

From start to finish!!! We were very pleased with the completed foundation work done by ‘58 Foundation.
Robert was very helpful with detailed information about the foundation needs.
Darryl and crew were respectful of our property. Completed job in a timely manner and left area clean!
The two young guys (not sure of names) on the crew did an excellent job finishing up around the porch.

I had 58 Foundations give me an estimate. The project manager showed me a plan and it looked good except that the sump pump placement wasn't in the low spot of the crawl space. When I mentioned that to him, he told me that he had located the low spot and it was where he had decided to place the sump. I told him where all the water usually was after rain and he still said that the low spot was further up towards the front of the crawlspace. I kinda knew this wasn't correct, but I thought; "This guy is a pro and knows what he's talking about". Therefor, I let them do the work and install the sump where "they thought" the low area was. This cost right at $10,000. Months later, I was still having water get into the crawl space, both underneath and on top of the encapsulation. After two more visits from a crew member, I found out that they didn't install any drainage channel around the foundation due to foundation bases being too close to the walls and not enough space between ground and floor. They also told me that a second sump needed to be installed, you guessed it...right where I told the original guy that the low spot was. I had the second sump installed and that cost another $1,100. In addition to this, I was back and forth with the office on getting my payment right cause they over-charged me. Yes, I'm happy with the work that Jonathan & the crew did and I'm glad I got it done. In hindsight, I should have asked more questions and stuck to my guns in relation to where to locate the sump pump. I've lived in my home for 19 years, redone electrical and plumbing and I know a little about my house.

UPDATE: It was all great until it wasn’t. Post installation my salesman toured the project & insisted the 2 discharge drains were much too close to the house (less than 2’) & would be moved 8-10’ away. After months of trying to resolve the matter, it’s obviously never going to happen so today I decided to officially give up. It’s very disappointing after having had such a great initial experience. But nobody likes being repeatedly ignored, especially after spending over $30K on a project. Maybe having the discharges so close won’t cause me any problems (?) - it sure would’ve been nice to hear that from them though.

Very disappointed with work that they performed. Was told by salesman that flooring would be fixed from bay window to end of sink. DIDN’T HAPPEN. When my husband reached out to salesman. he had the nerve to ask if he wanted pricing for floor that wasn’t fixed. Very upset, disappointed and dissatisfied with work performed by 58 Foundations.

We've worked with several companies over the years of home ownership and I'd say this was one of the worst experiences. In a nutshell, the salesman came out and gave the quote told us they could be out the week after next - that wasn't the case and we were working with a deadline of having family move in with us. Due to a cancellation, they were able to get us on the schedule and we were told it would be a solid 2 days on installation due to the size of the project...that wasn't the case. The installers were done in one day. We were told the barrier would go 4 inches down from the top...that wasn't the case. We contacted the company immediately after the work was done to inform them that it wasn't done to the specifications that were quoted and that there were tears in the barrier. They said they couldn't come out the next day because they had another job...interesting as they told us it would be a 2 day install so they should have had that second day blocked for us. The salesman was giving me one excuse after another as to why he was delayed in responding to our call. The installer came out to tape over the tears they made and told us that the install was done based on the size of the roll of the fabric. They were resistant in coming out to do the job correctly and said the salesman didn't know what he was talking about. They tried to offer us a nominal amount to not come back out to fix it, however, the compensation wasn't adequate and we wanted the work done that we contracted for. Eventually after much back and forth, they came out and added the additional inches of barrier that we had paid for. As we began to put items back under the house, we've come across more cuts in the barrier. They did leave us a little bit of tape and fabric so we can fix ourselves but for paying almost $12K, you'd expect the job to be done right the first time. I would NOT recommend this company, not only for their lack of workmanship but they way they were blaming each other - very unprofessional all the way around.

We had 58 foundations come to our home to fix a foundation issue in early 2024. The initial work was completed very sloppy; our crawlspace door was broken, our vapor barrier left up, and there was visible pressure pushing up on our kitchen floor from one of the pillars used to raise the foundation. I called and they "fixed" the door and I was told to give the house six months to settle before adjusting the pillars despite visible damage occurring to our kitchen floor. I naively went along with their knowledge. Six months go by and there is no improvement and I call back to have a readjustment, the kitchen was lowered 3/4 inch and the remaining three pillars by 1/4 inch. Fast forward to Spring 2025, we have significant issues along the flooring near every area a pillar sits. I call and am told a supervisor will come out; on the day of said appointment a regular worker arrives and states he was told by his boss that it was an adjustment. I informed him that I needed a different assessment as we have home damage related to the pillars. The worker goes under the house, takes photos, and comes back to tell my husband and I that due to the type of foundation we have the pillars that we placed aren't typically used and he called his boss in front of us to report. We were told a supervisor would be out in two days, that day comes and no one arrived. I call back and am told a regional supervisor will be out the following week. That day arrives and no one shows up. Since then, I have tried to contact the company on several occasions with no return call. We have significant subfloor damage requiring extensive work. I was advised by a lawyer to obtain the company's insurance information. No phone calls to local offices yielded results and when I contacted the company that my loan is through to obtain information I was given a "corporate number" out of Pennsylvania that when called rings to a personal cell phone for a person named Judy. Our home is a disaster thanks to this company and they can't be bothered to even address the issues that they caused. Be aware of this company!!!
