"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

Basement Cracks Let in More than Water

Joseph Coupal - Friday, January 27, 2012

There may only be a few days left in January, but January is National Radon Action Month. Did you know that basement floor cracks can let in worse things than water? They can let in Radon too.

Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. January is the time to check your home and office space for radon levels. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, radon exposure accounts for almost 20,000 deaths annually.

Radon is a tasteless, colorless, and odorless gas that occurs naturally in soil and rock. It disperses harmlessly outdoors but when it enters your home through holes and cracks in the basement floor and walls or from well water, it can be a health hazard. Prolonged exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. The only way to know if your home has unhealthy levels of radon is to perform a simple test.

If you have basement cracks, contact A-1 Foundation Crack Repair.
