"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

Fix Foundation Cracks Caused By the Winter Freeze

Joseph Coupal - Friday, January 20, 2012

Winter is here and this means that the soil around your home has frozen. In the winter the soil around your home expands. When soil expands, it can push your home's foundation upward. This is also called a heave.

Heaving can cause cracks and bowing in foundation floors and walls. If these foundation problems are not repaired they can cause more damage to a structure over time. The good news is that skilled professional foundation repair contractors can repair foundation cracks in any season.

Foundation problems happen when the soil around your home changes. When a house is built it is built on soil that is dug out is later refilled around the foundation. This soil is loose and settles over time. Water moves through loose soil easily and seep through a basement's walls and floor through joists and cracks. When the frozen earth heaves, the pressure can cause foundation walls to crack and bow.

If you suffer from foundation cracks, contact A1 Foundation Crack Repair before those small cracks become larger problems.
