"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

Foundation Cracks Can and Will Expose Your Family To Radon And Mold

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, December 28, 2011

Happy New year in advance to you from all of us at A-1 Foundation Crack Repair.  We hope you have a safe and relaxing New Year's break.  We also want you to know that when it comes to the health of safety of both you and your home, we never rest..  This is because we know the very clear and present dangers that a cracked foundation presents to you and your family.

So we'll make the focus of this final blog post calendar year 2011 to be a simple educational reminder of just what risks are introduced by ignoring the cracks in your foundation:   

  • Home Foundation Bulkhead Cracks enlarge due to neglect (water enters crack and freezes, making the crack wider each cycle)
  • Radon (can cause lung cancer, stomach cancer, fatigue, headaches, allergies, and rashes)
  • Mold (can cause many health problems to list a few: nasal stuffiness, shortness of breath, loss of urinary control, diminished mental capabilities, asthma complications)
  • Insects (carpenter ants, termites, infestation, wood decay)
  • Humidity (which could lead to decay of wood and other material stored in basement)
    ODOR (uncomfortable conditions caused by decaying organic material from the soils on the exterior

For those of you who have not visited our "advice and tips" page, we invite you to visit the page where you will find some prudent things you can do to limit further damage to you home and more importantly, to take proactive measure to immediately protect yourself and your family from radon, mold, and other threats.
