"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

So Much May Rain Means Wet Basements

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, May 10, 2012

We are in a drought, and “they” keep saying we need the rain. Well, there was quite a bit of rain last night and if you awoke to a wet or damp basement, you have some problems. Even if you have never had water in your basement before, you will most likely get it again.

Water finds the path of least resistance, and when that much rain falls for so long, unfortunately in many cases it found its way into your home. Water finds its way through cracks in the foundation walls, cracks in the cement floor, and from leaking bulkheads.

Overtime, as your foundation settles and soil shifts through the seasons, you may now have basement water all of a sudden when you haven’t ever had it before. If you awoke to water in your basement, contact A1 Foundation Crack Repair.

Stop Mold Before it Starts - Eliminate Wet Basements

Joseph Coupal - Friday, April 20, 2012

With the onset of the warmer weather, basements can become damp and moist. Just the nature of the basement, being below grade, makes them inherent to water problems. The cool basement air mixes with the warmer outdoor air and warm basement foundation and creates humidity.

If your basement is damp or moist, mold can grow, causing severe health issues and making it more difficult for you to sell your home in the future. Mold thrives in basements were there can be wet drywall, wood or paint; all three being the favorite food for mold.

Often, cleaning mold with bleach does not help. While the surface mold may disappear temporarily, the underlying spores often remain allowing the mold to come back. Therefore, mold must be removed. Before mold starts, remove the water in the basement instead.

Controlling the humidity in the basement with a dehumidifier cuts down on the dampness in the air and stops mold growth. Repair any cracks in the concrete floor or foundation cracks that allow in water into your home. Continuous water damage or moisture in your home only makes the mold problem worse.
 
For information on basement dehumidifiers or concrete crack repair, contact A-1 Foundation.

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.
