Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Crack-X. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Not sure which you need? Start with an inspection — many reputable companies assess free, and independent assessments run up to $500.
The wall run getting the drain — a full 30×40 ft basement is about 140 ft.

Crack-X is a North Andover outfit built around one specific problem: the crack in a foundation wall or the bulkhead door letting water into a basement. The company works across the Merrimack Valley and beyond, and its named technicians — DJ, Doug, David, Jakob and others — show up by name again and again across its review history. Recent customers describe a consistent process: photos or an on-site inspection, a written scope of work, a scheduled visit, and a fix that holds. A homeowner who says they hired the crew four separate times across two homes calls a Crack-X repair and its 10-year warranty worth the cost, given how unsettling a foundation crack or basement water can feel. Older reviews tell the same story over a longer stretch — in a 2024 review, a crack repaired with urethane filler had produced no leaks since; in a 2024 review, a structural engineer told a homeowner to just call Crack-X after seeing a widening wall crack; and in a 2024 review, the company raised a bulkhead on new concrete blocks and installed a Bilco door to keep water out near the Maine coast. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+, and it carries a 4.8-star Google rating from 70 reviews and a 4.4 from 61 on Angi. Not every account is glowing. A 2024 review reported poor work on a job and no response after requesting warranty service. A 2023 review describes the company declining a job as beyond their capability, then going silent when the customer asked why. And a 2024 review — otherwise praising the installer's work as clean and professional — said it took nearly a month just to get a quote, despite being a customer of more than ten years. Crack-X is a fit for foundation crack injection and bulkhead door replacement anywhere water is getting into a basement or garage; given the isolated complaints about warranty response and intake delays, it's worth confirming turnaround time and getting warranty terms in writing before the crew starts.
Jakob did an outstanding job. He was very diligent and has great attention to detail! I would highly recommend requesting Jakob to fix your leak!
This company was amazing. Crack X was on the job immediately after my quote. Doug was very professional and knowledgeable.
Great job by DJ. Showed up right on time, got to work and completed the job by 5 pm. We are very pleased with the final result. Would highly recommend Crack X.
I needed a new bulkhead door for the building. CrackX responsiveness was excellent, communication was top. The steps were very clear and straightfoward and everything happened as described. The technicien did an excellent job and I now have a beautiful buikhead. Couldn't be happier.
We hired Crack X to replace our basement Bilco metal door and rehab the surrounding concrete. Dealing with them has been an extremely positive experience. We received a very detailed scope of work as part of their quote which for me, is a strong positive. The installer, DJ, was very punctual, professional and skilled. We are more than pleased with his work. Trust that we will recommend Crack X should the opportunity present itself. Chris & Linda R.
