Crack-X

Crack-X is a Manchester-based foundation and basement-waterproofing company serving New England. Its website says the business is family owned and operated, began in 1985 as Poxy-Crete, and is now led by Peter Gormley, while the local BBB profile lists 41 years in business and Douglas Chirichiello as owner. Customers mainly hire Crack-X for foundation crack repair, basement leak sealing, bulkhead replacement, and related concrete work. Recent Google reviews repeatedly describe technicians arriving on time, explaining the repair, protecting or cleaning the work area, and finishing crack, pipe-penetration, garage, basement-window, and bulkhead projects; several reviewers mention quick scheduling, clear pricing, warranties, and repairs that stopped water intrusion. Google lists 4.9 stars from 70 ratings, and the recent written history is strongly positive. There is one older, detailed caution to discuss before booking. A 2022 reviewer questioned the finish and cleanup after cracks were ground and filled, describing material splatter, footprints, dust left in the garage, and an uncomfortable interaction with the technician. Another older review was mixed about a bulkhead and foundation project, praising the crew’s effort while identifying a missing flashing detail; confirm the exact bulkhead scope, flashing, and cleanup expectations in the written quote. Crack-X is a sensible call for homeowners dealing with active foundation leaks, crack injection, pipe penetrations, or bulkhead work who want a specialized New England provider. Confirm which regional office and technician will handle the job, the warranty terms, and the repair method for the specific crack or bulkhead condition.
