I called Chris who came over the next day. He checked out the issue and told us what we needed. We had been told by another water proofer that we need a $7000.00 repair. Thank goodness that we called Chris. Our leakage issue was an easy fix with a lifetime guarantee. He was very professional and informative. He explained what caused the leak and what he would do to fix the problem. We liked his honesty, he told us that " if it isn't broken, don't fix it". They cleaned up when they were done. We would highly recommend him!
After arriving promptly at the appointment time, Chris first inspected the areas to be repaired and then reviewed in detail what work would be accomplished, basically what we had discussed over the phone the day prior.
Surface area approx. 2" each side of the cracks was cleaned of any debris to provide a clean surface for adhesion. Surface ports were then bonded 6-10" apart on the foundation cracks, surface seal was then applied over the entire length of the crack and over and around the base of the surface ports on the cracks and also on the tie rod holes that had leaking. Surface prep, surface ports and surface seal application took approximately an hour. Chris and Marko then left for an hour to allow the surface seal to dry. Upon returning, injection of the polyurethane foam into the surface ports was completed as well as clean up around the work areas, this took approximately an hour. A1 provided a written Lifetime Warranty that is transferable to new owners.
A couple of extras thing that was done at no additional charge:
Caulked around a window well window frame that water had been seeping in.
Chris also gave some helpful DIY tips for sealing a window on a window well that is not draining properly and also some trouble shooting tips on window well drainage tile.
Overall I was very satisfied with the overall expertise, work, communication and response time. Also I felt the pricing was competitive as I had compared to couple other service providers. I'll be waiting for the next heavy rain and/or snow melt to see how well the foundation cracks and tie rod holes have been sealed.
if there is one, if any water does seep into the basement . He didn't want to charge me anything for his help, although he drove a long way to my house and was very prompt. He was extremely kind and helpful and I would definitely hire him to fix any crack I might have in the foundation. Just caulking may solve the problem because it rarely comes in and if it does, it is very little. I called him because of his high ratings on Angie's list and he lived up to my expectations and far surpassed them by helping me do the work myself and not charging me for his advice. That is so unusual. I will definitely hire him, if necessary, because of his professionalism and knowledge of minor basement seepage. I understand why he has such high ratings on Angie's List.
