A-1 Foundation Crack Repair has been fixing leaking basements and cracked foundations out of Hudson, Massachusetts since 1993, when Richard Comeras founded the family business; it's now led by his second-generation successor, Adam Tracy, and works foundation crack repair, basement waterproofing, bulkhead repair and related concrete work across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Across 505 Google ratings the average sits at 4.9 stars, and the most recent stretch backs that up: the 13 reviews posted in the past six months are all positive, several naming Adam directly for walking homeowners through what's actually wrong before recommending any work — one reviewer wrote that he told them outright they didn't need the repair he'd come to quote. Reviewers describe cracks sealed in under an hour, weekend and same-day callbacks, and warrantied work that held up through the following winter's rain and thaw. The record isn't spotless. A run of 1-star reviews between mid-2024 and mid-2025 described leaks that came back after the crew had already been out, in one case across four separate visits without a lasting fix, and a March 2025 review said the business had changed hands from Rich to a less responsive new owner. That cluster sits oddly against the run of reviews naming Adam favorably both before and after it, and against the otherwise consistent 4.9-star average — but the most recent reviews, all from 2026, read like the earlier trouble has passed. Worth knowing before calling: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration as expired, so it's worth asking directly about current licensing and insurance before signing anything. Its BBB profile is graded A+ and lists it as an accredited, family-owned business, and Reddit posts in r/Waltham have recommended it by name. For a leaking basement, a cracked foundation wall, or a bulkhead that's letting water in, A-1 has a long history and a recent stretch of reviews that back up the reputation — just confirm the registration status and get the warranty terms in writing given the repairs that didn't hold in 2024 and 2025.

I had a great experience with A-1 Foundation Crack Repair, Inc. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They provided a clear and fair quote, explained the repair process in detail, and completed the work efficiently and with great attention to quality. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend A-1 Foundation Crack Repair, Inc. to anyone in need of reliable and expert foundation repair services.
Outstanding Customer Service – Truly Appreciate the Owner! I recently worked with A1 Foundation Crack Repair and was blown away by the level of care and professionalism. On a weekend, the owner personally took the time to call me and carefully review an inspection report with me. He walked me through everything, shared valuable knowledge and wisdom, and made sure I fully understood the situation. That kind of customer service is rare these days. Most companies wouldn’t go out of their way like that, especially on a weekend. I am truly appreciative of the time, patience, and genuine care he showed. Highly recommend A1 Foundation Crack Repair for anyone needing foundation or crack repair services. Excellent experience from start to finish! — Kevin Sokolowski
Andrew was on time, let me know what the work entailed. He was very professional and he left the work area clean.
Incredible service. Answered my phone call on a Saturday afternoon and was able to quote a price to fix the issue within minutes. He also gave great guidance that helped me make a bid on a house with confidence.
Fantastic experience and great price. Eliminated any concern with our home inspection. Should have done it years ago. Highly recommend them.
