"The lifting and crack sealing of my driveway and front walkway/porch was fantastic. The driveway sank a little bit a couple of months after application and they came back to lift it free of charge. However, if you need concrete flatwork done, I would suggest going elsewhere. We had two corners that needed poured because they were too damaged to lift. They had to come out to repour three times in one year, and the concrete is already starting to crack again."

With years of experience in the industry, Crackology is committed to delivering high-quality, long-lasting repairs, and top-tier waterproofing solutions. We pride ourselves on being the trusted partner you can rely on when your home is facing foundation issues, moisture problems, or structural concerns.

Our mission is simple: to provide dependable, long-lasting foundation repairs and waterproofing solutions that protect what matters most, your home.
"I landed upon Crackology at the right time and I was very thankful for it. I had been working with a previous concrete company for wellnover 6 months. Not only did this company consume a lot of my time, money was wasted and the job was left incomplete. I was left trying to figure out how my excavation and foundation was going to to be completed before the winter kicked in placing my unfinished basement at risk of shifting and potentially more costs! They also offered financing as an option even though I did not need it. Crackology was able to not only fix what the previous concrete company left incomplete but gave an expected time of completion with a breakdown of expected costs. Very thorough with assessing what I desired for my basement (excavation, new beams, waterproof barrier), they did not leave me wondering when the job would be complete, and most importantly, kept me in the loop alongside each step of completion. I highly recommend them if you need concrete work and foundation work completed."

"Isaacs is a true professional who obviously loves and takes pride in his work.

French drains can last between 30 and 40 years, offering long-term protection for your home's foundation. They work by diverting both underground and surface water away from your property, helping prevent water buildup and structural damage. Opting for models with cloth filters can extend the drain's durability even further. Regular maintenance and professional installation ensure your system works efficiently for decades.
You can install a French drain anywhere from two feet below ground to the level of your foundation's footings. If you're dealing with surface water like rain or snowmelt, a shallow drain might suffice. But if you're concerned about groundwater, you'll need a deeper drain inside your home. Contractors typically install interior perimeter drains beneath the basement floor's concrete.
Yes, interior French drains are very effective at preventing flooding and water damage in your home. When properly installed, they channel moisture away from your structure. If the perimeter pipe ever clogs, a plumber can easily access it for repairs. To maximize efficiency, it's essential to combine an interior French drain with a sump pump, which helps redirect water away from your home.
Certified professionals install French drains to ensure they work properly. You can hire foundation specialists, licensed plumbers, or experienced landscapers—all have the expertise and tools needed for proper installation. They design systems that redirect water safely away from your property. By trusting a qualified expert, you ensure your French drain will perform well and protect your home for the long term.
After installing a French drain, you should take a few steps to keep it working well. First, repair any areas of your lawn or garden that were disturbed during installation—this might include reseeding grass or replanting flowers. If you had the drain installed in your basement, consider upgrading your waterproofing for extra protection. Finally, schedule regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the system continues diverting water efficiently and protecting your property over time.
