The Crack Team advised me over the phone how the crack should properly be addressed and gave me piece of mind in dealing with this issue (and many other issues) while selling a home and moving with a new family. I would recommend their services to anyone in the future.
Description of Work: A home inspection found a small crack in the foundation that the buyer insisted should be performed by a licensed contractor. The Crack Team returned my call very quickly and helped find solutions to remediate the problem.

Response from The Crack Man
Member, My business used to be associated with a franchise. They have gone out of business and / or have sold the rights to the franchise. I have assumed working under my own company "The Crack Man". Unfortunately, when people contact the old business "The Crack Team", there typically is no response. I cannot control this unfortunately. Once again, sorry for your inconvenience.

A home inspector decided that we should repair a crack in a basement wall before selling our house. Using Angie's List, we called "The Crack Man." I believe he gave us a quote over the phone. Because time was critical the "Crack Man" came to our house on the weekend and repaired the problem to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: A narrow crack in our basement wall was repaired by the "Crack Man."

After the earthquake I believe a crack formed in a poured concrete foundation wall in my home. It was clearly evident when water started leaking onto the basement floor during the tropical storm. I looked at the listings in Angies list and called the crack man. A very punctual and friendly response to my initial inquiry into the problem I was experiencing. The details of the repair were explained clearly, the warranty, and the price. Quality of the work was first rate--I haven't had a problem since--I'm happy with the work!

Contacted Alek in late June and talked the issues over with him. He was quite amenable to working with either Polyurethane or Epoxy to do the repair and the price was very reasonable, so we set the date. Arrived promptly on time and inspected the known crack. I also had what I thought was a smaller crack just starting at the top of the wall. When we did an inside look under the insulation, it turned out to be larger than I thought and leaking as well. He modified the price to include the second crack, and we agreed on how he was going to use both epoxy and polyurethane . He did the work in a timely manner and cleaned up before heading out for another job. He was easy to work with, great price, and I would usehim again or recommend him to anyone looking for cement/concrete crack repairs and waterproofiing. Great job!!
Description of Work: Had water leaking to the basement through a crack in the wall. Had similar work done by builder 25 years ago to handle initial cracks, but over time a new cantilever crack had formed and started leaking water.

It was a short but very helpful phone call. He has potentially saved me a great deal of money and worry.
Description of Work: I called for advice on small water issues with our basement. After leaving a message on the machine my call was returned in minutes. I learned that my basement does not require a great deal of work and since my basement is a cinder block foundation and not a poured concrete one he could not help me. He spent many minutes on the phone with me giving me some advice about my type of basement. He certainly struck me as an honest guy and trustworthy. I have not met many people who would spend time on the phone helping someone who was not potentially a big customer. Thank you so much.

They did a nice job. He was very responsive and professional. He was punctual for the appointment and he had great communication skills. He kept in contact with me through email. He also offered a transferable warranty. We spoke to other companies who wanted to dig up our basement for one little crack. I don?t think he will sell you anything that you don?t need. He will tell you exactly what you need and he does a good job. He seemed trustworthy. I would definitely recommend him.

They were great. We got a lot of estimates for different jobs, but we couldn’t go by anyone that we liked. We had to go by the house contractor’s choice. They recognized the problem that we had with the foundation before anybody else did. They ended up being a part of the skilled team, so we didn’t end up using them. If they hadn’t recognized the problem, we could have ended up having lots more issues. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from The Crack Team. I did not use their services. They came out in mid March and recognized the problem that we had with the foundation and gave us an estimate.

We had a small leak in the concrete in our basement. The Crack Team came out on time and was very honest about the repair (it was a challenging one). He was courteous and explained what he was doing in great detail. The final cost was exactly what he estimated on the phone. He gave us great advice to wait a few weeks before having the drywall and carpet replaced so that we could have a few good rains to test it. One big rain so far and things are looking solid!

Fantastic job...and a really nice guy. While this is a franchise, you are really dealing with Alec the owner and engineer...not an employee of some large company. I called him the day after Christmas (a Saturday morning) and left a message. He called back within minutes...and spoke with me at length on the phone. More impressively, he wasn't trying to sell me something that I didn't need. He was asking for details about the crack and then discussed various options. He came out as soon as the foundation was dry and did the job quickly and professionally...and for a very good price. The repair looked just like what I saw needed to be done when I researched the issue on the internet. Alec also warranties his work for life...and it is transferable to a new owner. I can't say enough good things about this guy. If you have an issue, do not hesitate to call him. Unlike a lot of folks in the basement/foundation repair business, he will not try to sell you some complex and expensive system that you do not need. Fantastic experience.
Description of Work: Repaired ~ 8 foot long crack with 5 foot offshoot in foundation, which was leaking after a Christmas day downpour soaked the two feet of snow surrounding our home.

Communication was great. Work peformed in the evening at no extra charge. "Online discount" provided; price seemed reasonable. Arrived promptly, described the work to be performed, answered all questions. Work completed quickly; process seems pretty substantial. No mess left behind. No leak since then, and with the unlimited warranty, not much to worry about.

He kept in touch with me for 10 days while we waited for the rain to stop long enough for the crack to dry. He arrived within 20 minutes of the scheduled time, was courteous and professional. Did the job, cleaned up and was done in about an hour. The basement no longer leaks!

The reason why I did not ask him to proceed with the work was that he said he was unable to guarantee that there would not be a water seepage again. The reason was that they would not address a foundation problem as a waterproofing company would do, but limit themselves to any seepage through the cracks. I felt this may not address my problem since the seepage was primarily through the floor.
Description of Work: He was prompt in responding to my call and making an appointment. He came at the agreed time and reviewed the situation in my basement. He said they specialize in filling cracks in the wall such as those in the cinder block joints and also the blocks, and any cracks in the floor. They would remove any old mortar, clean it up and then refill with a waterproof substance, and also paint the repaired surface with a waterproof paint. His estimate for the job was about $850.

I called Alex on Monday, and he was able to come out on Tuesday evening to patch the crack for us. We ran into a small problem with no support behind the concrete, but Alex explained our options and what the consequences of those options would be, and let us decide our course of action. The repair looks great, and we know that we did what we could for the support.

The service was very timely - next day service. Alek Vujik estimated the work on day 1 , we decided to perform the work on day 2, and he performed the work on day 3. He meticulously filled the crack from above (including an additional area not initially identified - at no extra charge) and then injected their proprietary resin from below. The work was done quickly (several hours), and he then cleaned up all materials. It rained several times in the coming days - no problems at all. Highly recommended.
