I called A-1 late on a Friday and they quickly answered and gave a detailed response to all my questions about my crack repair. At the end of the day he saved me a lot of money. I'm very thankful for his advice.

All went well and more quickly than I anticipated but piles of debris i.e. concrete bits, were left. This basement was cobwebby and needed a sweeping to start but I thought the leftovers from the work should have been taken away.

I put off getting it fixed, imagining a big project and a large bill. I gathered up my courage and put in my request on Angie's List. I quickly received referrals from them, and called A-1 Foundation Repair. They were cordial and responsive, assuring me that it could be done efficiently. Three days later he arrived when he said he would, explained the process and repaired the crack and the leak. His price was reasonable. After he arrived we added the repair of a crack in the garage floor, which he sealed. Couldn't have been a better experience.

This is the second house we've used A-1 for repairs. Excellent work. The technician arrived on time, explained the repairs (vertical foundation crack and leaking below waste pipe), cleaned up when done, very professional. I would absolutely recommend A-1 Foundation Crack Repair.

All went well. The basement walls were all repaired and the leaks were stopped. They completely cleaned up after the work was done. The entire basement was completed in 4 phases over a 7 month period at our convenience and request. Very satisfied with the work. We highly recommend A-1 Foundation Crack Repair Company.

Rich was great. He answered the phone himself and (from my description) could accurately diagnose the problem over the phone as if he were there. Astonishingly he sent a guy the same day as there was a tech already in the area. The tech was smart, polite, explained everything. Problem solved.

Just talked to Rich about getting an estimate for our basement repair job. As soon as I described what was going on over the phone, he could tell that he wasn't the right guy for the job but he explained what sort of service pro I should look for instead. So I can't review his work, but I really appreciate getting such an upfront response that wasn't trying to sell me on something I didn't need.

Crack is repaired. Could have been tidier, but basement is completely dry. In fairness, we were told the stuff injected into the crack had to dry completely over a couple months before cleaning up the wall.

Sloppy installation, concrete was dropped all over basement. Repointing was just slapped on the wall. Paul dumped the dirt and concrete from the sump hole directly in my backyard without asking. While running the drain pipe to the exterior of the house Paul measured once/drilled once and drilled directly through my side porch decking (trex) directly below the door. I was reassured they would return to fix the damage they created... Today is 7//26/2017 I have made 8 calls to have them fix the damage they created since the date of work and they have done nothing. The sump pump they installed ended up failing... I had to hire a real company "Northeast Basement Systems" who cleaned up the mess they made in my basement and installed a new sump system. A1 Foundation sucks. Do not use them, you will regret it. I wasted $2500 on these clowns.

Work was ok. Over priced for what was done. There was misalignment on work to be completed. I paid in full before they finished and it took a while for them to finally finish the work.

I received a call back promptly with an estimate based on a picture I submitted through the web site. I appreciated how they inquired about how we were doing with the inconvenience of a leak. Work was scheduled quickly, everyone arrived on time, and charged a reasonable price. I was extremely pleased with the service and would recommend A1 Foundation to anyone looking to have their foundation repaired.

They were responsive, they were easy to talk to, and they broke down their pricing clearly. The price seemed reasonable but I didn't go through the repair yet. I would use them prior to do the work.

I called Rich and he answered the phone on the first try. We scheduled an appointment to view the situation quickly and easily. In fact, Rich agreed to come out on a Sunday morning. He was punctual, pleasant and completely professional. We had three other services inspect the situation but he was the only one to identify a crack that is likely to be the source of our problem. I plan to use A1 and highly recommend them!

They went out of their way to obtain and install the large drain opening, including a threaded cap that can be simply removed if and when the drain is needed. Also, since it was sealed, the crack in the foundation has not leaked, even in heavy rains.
Description of Work: Sealed crack in foundation wall that formed when the concrete was poured and set and that allowed water to enter the basement in heavy rains. Also, provided a large drain opening that could be used for a sump pump in the event that one werre needed at some future time.
