Exterior Crack Repair

When our team begins the excavation process for an exterior crack repair, there is always a possibility of encountering unforeseen problems, such as plugged weeping tiles or the absence of weeping tiles altogether. In such cases, our Estimator will discuss the issue with you and any additional costs that may be incurred to address the problem. If we cannot contact you, we will document and photograph the issue, then take appropriate steps to resolve it economically without compromising the quality of the repair work. If the work proceeds without your consent and reaches $1200, we will not continue without obtaining your consent.

During most exterior crack repairs, the fill is compacted and topped with topsoil where appropriate. However, there may be instances where we are unable to compact the fill, such as when it is too muddy or the repair is under an overhang. In such cases, you have the option of having additional fill removed from the property at no charge while we are still on site. We recommend running a garden hose over the soil every few days to accelerate the settling process. If you wish to have additional soil added or removed, or cold patch or concrete placed after the work is completed, please contact your Estimator to discuss any additional fees.

Our crews work diligently to minimize property damage by using tarps or mats and performing a final clean-up after the repair is completed. However, daylight and weather conditions during the project may affect the success of our clean-up efforts. Additional raking and clean-up, including hosing off walkways and patios, may be required after the repair. It is important to note that our teams are not experienced landscapers and cannot move or transplant trees, bushes, or plants. Please consult a landscaper if such work is necessary.

Our team takes great care to avoid cutting any utility lines during the repair process. However, accidents can still occur. If a gas line or electrical service is damaged, our office will call in the repair. For cable or telephone repairs, the account holder must call in the repair. Since utility locates have been performed, there should be no charge for these repairs. However, if a private line is damaged (e.g., gas, electrical, phone, sewer, septic, water line, sprinkler system, surface drainage system, etc.), the repair cost will be the owner's responsibility, even if you have informed us of its location. We are not responsible for damage caused by settling backfill after we leave the site.
