"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

Leaking Bulkheads Need Waterproofing

Joseph Coupal - Monday, May 02, 2011

You need a dry basement for a healthy living environment. There are many ways that water can enter your basement. One of the most frustrating is a bulkhead leak. Most bulkhead leaks are a result of movement between the bulkhead and the foundation. Usually, bulkheads are separate units which are bolted to the foundation wall. During installation a black rubber seal is put between the foundation wall and the bulkhead unit.  This rubber seal is designed to stop water. This seal can fail when there is movement of the bulkhead, the foundation or both.
 
Due to the design of bulkheads, movement occurs during the winter months as the ground freezes and expands, and then in the spring as the ground thaws. This compromises the seal. In order for A-1 Foundation Crack Repair to inject between the bulkhead and foundation the closed cell polymer resin that has elasticity needs to adhere to the concrete in order to be most effective. Because bulkheads are susceptible to movement we do a return visit to perform another injection at no charge. No matter what style bulkhead you have; precast concrete unit, cinderblock bulkhead, fieldstone bulkhead or poured concrete walls with wooden stairs we have the expertise to solve your problem with water leakage.
