When I explain to people what I do for a living, they usually look a little puzzled. Most people say, “I hope I never have to call you!” to which I reply, “Fingers crossed! I hope you never have to call either, but here, take my card just in case.”

At Helicon Foundation Repair, we take the time to explain the process as thoroughly as possible up front. The “what to expect” portion of our repair process is the most important part to our customers, because 99% of the time this will be the first and only sinkhole repair they have ever been involved with. We have fancy equipment as well, including a new drill rig that I will soon be devoting a blog to, but customer service is what people remember.
