Leaking Foundation Cracks a Common Problem for Homeowners, Especially This Time of Year.

(Long Island, N.Y.) The Crack Team, foundation repair specialists, announces the grand opening of its Mastic Beach office.  The company, based in St. Louis with locations nationwide, is celebrating its 25th year in business. The Crack Team specializes in fixing foundation cracks with a permanent, cost-effective solution using its proprietary injection-system treatment. Tom Murphy runs the location serving Suffolk and Nassau Counties.

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. 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.

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. Work carries the fully-transferable Life-of-Structure “Happy Crack Guarantee.”

“Homeowners, Realtors and inspectors have trusted The Crack Team for 25 years, and I look forward to helping Long Island homeowners, Realtors, and other service professionals address their foundation repair needs”, says Tom Murphy.
