"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

Solve Water Problems if you Want to Sell Your Home

Joseph Coupal - Friday, December 09, 2011

Realtors, if you have clients that are trying to sell homes that have had basement water problems, please advise them to address the issue.

This is the season when water problems can really begin. As the snow falls and builds up, and then we get rain or a sudden warm day, the ground does not as easily absorb water. Water takes the path of least resistance and often will end up where we don’t want it, in our basements.

If you are trying to sell a home, with these low home prices, you need to set your home apart from the others. As you know you need to disclose water issues, even if it has only happened “once or twice”.

By addressing the basement water problem, you have once again added your home to the “more desirable” list. What you spend in solving your basement water problems you will certainly more than make up for in the sale.

Water Intrusion Problems Need to be on Top of Your To Do List

Joseph Coupal - Friday, November 11, 2011

Home maintenance chores are daunting for homeowners. Especially for new homeowners who are unfamiliar with the repair and upkeep requirements of older homes.

Maintenance involving water intrusion or structural integrity issues should take top priority when the list of home-repair chores gets so large you need to prioritize.

Drainage issues: The most important element is "anything having to do with drainage or water flow."

Leaves are falling and gutters need to be cleaned. Gutters or drainage problems contributing to foundation problems are issues you should not defer. Clean out rain gutters and downspouts, repair stucco cracks, and use good-quality exterior paints to keep wooden siding and roof trim safe from dry rot, mold and mildew.

Clogged gutters cause water to run down the face of the home and along the base of the foundation. This can cause water to enter your basement and can result in foundation issues.

For water intrusion problems in your home, contact A-1 Foundation Crack Repair.
