"Thank you so much for coming to my rescue in a time of need! My basement was flooding, water coming in through the foundation, and I was exhausted from trying to keep up with it. You guys realized the importance of prioritizing me, and put in a sump pump to save the day. You are the best!" - Joanne Lipsy

"We've used A-1 a couple of times and are always pleased. All the cracks that have been repaired have held up beautifully and we are now enjoying a newly finished basement with no concerns about water due to the cracks!" - Brendan Kenahan

"Rich was very professional and sent his technician Andrew to do the work. Wasted no time, just stayed with it. He was very knowledgeable and indicated if there was any problems they would come back and fix them. No more leaks! It is good to know there are still companies that care and deal with the issues." - Rich B.

"A couple of weeks ago we had A1 out to do some work on the bulkhead at our home in Woodstock Valley, CT. So far we are extremely pleased with the performance of the injection, I'd say 2 days after the work we had 4 inches of rain in one evening, not a drop came in. I can sleep easier now about the decision we made last month to finish our basement, we love having the extra, dry, living space." - Ron Sanderson

Rich is a reputable and responsible businessman who we have worked with several times. His response to us is always prompt and professional. He is able to schedule appointments and provides pricing in advance of performing his service and there is no up-selling involved. We would use Rich and A-1 again and we refer him often with our complete confidence

I cannot thank you enough. What an incredible company you have. It's comforting to know that if there's another problem in the future, I know who to call!! - Barbara Salzman

"I would have to say your company is " A 1", in my book. I will see you again in the spring." - Valerie Curley

How To Identify A Foundation Leak

Joseph Coupal - Friday, July 09, 2010

Sometimes its hard to know if you have a leak in your home or basement. With a couple of easy steps you can determine whether or not you have a leak. But a foundation leak is a different story. A foundation leak can be very troubling and stressful, that's why it's important to learn how to identify a foundation leak then get it fixed as soon as possible. The cause of foundation leaks can be because of various things. It could be a result of a leaking water pipe, condensation or simply because water is seeping in from the surrounding ground. Whatever the problem is you need to be able to identify the location and the cause of the leak.
 
When looking for a foundation leak it is important to take a look all along the basement wall looking for any obvious signs of damage. If there are any cracks in the wall then these will allow water in. Cracks will normally be found either right at the top or bottom of the wall. The cracks can differ from being very small and difficult to spot, to even being very noticeable. Bring a flashlight to look for these cracks as this will make it much easier to find any cracks no matter how small they are. Once you have found the cracks and identified the leak, give A-1 a call  to come and repair your leaky foundation. As leaving this problem alone can turn into long term damage to your home, and end up costing you much more than you would expect.
