"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

Selling a Home with a Wet Basement

Joseph Coupal - Sunday, February 19, 2012

The real estate market has been performing a bit better, and more than a few real estate agencies had a pretty good January. The market usually starts to pick up in the spring in Massachusetts, however, with the mild weather; homeowners are starting to think about selling their homes now.

If your home has had basement water problems and you are thinking of selling your home, those problems need to be fixed and they can only be fixed by a professional waterproofing company. With the real estate market as it is, low home prices and an abundance of homes on the market, your home needs every advantage in order to sell.

No matter how many times you have had a wet basement, this information needs to be shared with potential buyers. Ensure you get top dollar, and that your home stands out by showing the basement water problem has been remedied.

In home sales, there are more problems with wet foundations and basements than any other physical problem in a house. Ask any real estate agent and they will tell you the same thing. Spend a little money to fix the problem and make more money back in the long run.

To get your home ready for the market, solve you basement water problems by contacting A-1 Foundation Crack Repair.

Wet Basement? Fix the Problems before You Repair the Damage

Joseph Coupal - Friday, October 28, 2011

If your basement has suffered from water damage, it is important to get the source of the leaks fixed before you begin repairing the damage to your basement.

It makes little sense to make repairs when your basement is at high risk for experiencing the same problem again. Also, keep in mind that basement waterproofing may be extensive, including the installation of a drainage system. So you shouldn’t spend the money on repairs since they may actually impede the repair process. Steps need to be taken to eliminate the cause of the water damage before you spend money on repairs.

Consider bringing in a waterproofing specialist with the experience to identify and fix basement problem areas. Most of the time, water enters the basement through leaks in the floor and wall joints, these are the areas that should be thoroughly checked.

Once the sources of the basement water have been identified and fixed, then you can begin your basement repairs.  Contact A-1 Foundation Crack Repair to waterproof your basement.
