"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

Tell Tale Signs That You Might Need Foundation Repair

Joseph Coupal - Friday, July 23, 2010

To keep your home or commercial building safe you should perform regular checks. To do this, go down the list of some possible signs of a foundation problem, and make sure they don't exist. Try to pay close attention to any oddities. Even then, there may be some you may not see. That's why A-1 Foundation Crack Repair can help. Our professional team can spot problems you may have missed and get the problem fixed. Even if you detect the smallest leak, don't let it manifest into large issue, call A-1 today.

It is very important that you know the signs of a failing foundation to protect your house or commercial building from damage. Here is a small checklist:

  • The first is squeaky or sticky doors. If your doors start squeaking when you move them or they start sticking to the door frame when it didn't do so before, you need a foundation repair.
  • The second is similar to the first, but it involves windows.
  • Another way to verify if you need foundation repair with the door is to check the frame. If the frame is separated from the door sill, you, most likely, have a foundation problem.
  • The fourth sign of the need of foundation repair is curling/separating wallpaper.
  • Bowed walls are another sign of a foundation problem.
  • A leaning chimney is the sixth common sign of foundation damage.
  • The seventh sign of needing foundation repair is cracks appearing in the corners of door/window frames. These cracks can also be seen on brick fireplace walls.
  • Unleveled floors are the eighth sign of a foundation problem.
  • Another obvious sign of foundation damage is nails popping out for no apparent reason. 
  • The tenth sign of needing foundation repair is gaps between a patio/stoop.
