Few home-related problems trigger as much alarm as discovering a basement crack. Homeowners see a crack and envision the various dreadful consequences - the worry and expense of shoring up a falling foundation, or the many aggravations of a soggy wet basement: hours of cleaning, carpet replacement and floor refinishing, repainting walls, and waterlogged furniture and keepsakes. Then they tally the dizzying cost of renovation. A wet basement is every homeowner's nightmare.
'Homeowners don't realize that a cracked foundation is a common problem,' says Vujic of The Crack Team's Kensington location. He says that in most cases, a crack in a poured-concrete foundation does not indicate structural problems. Still, it is the source of leakage that can cause a wet basement.
The problem is inherent in poured-concrete foundations. A crack is not due to improper building practices or other construction-related activity. Instead, over time, the concrete naturally shrinks or shifts, causing cracks in new and old homes alike. Nevertheless, many homeowners are frantic when calling The Crack Team after finding a crack, leaky or not. 'They expect elaborate, invasive, expensive repairs that usually aren't necessary,' says Vujic. The Crack Team repair is a cost-effective and minimally disruptive process. It takes approximately one hour to fill one foundation crack, and the average cost of a Crack Team repair is in the hundreds of dollars, as opposed to thousands charged by other companies. All work carries the fully-transferable Life-of-Structure 'Happy Crack Guarantee'.
'Homeowners, Realtors and inspectors have trusted The Crack Team for two decades,' says Vujic. I look forward to providing the same service to area residents.'
