The Crack Team Expands With Grand Opening Of Long Island, Ny Location

LONG ISLAND, NY (Thursday, July 14, 2005) - The Crack Team, foundation repair specialists, announces the grand opening of its Long Island, NY location, its third on the East Coast. The company, based in St. Louis with presence in Boston, Chicago, Detroit and Kansas City, is currently celebrating its 20th year in business. The Crack Team specializes in fixing foundation cracks with a permanent, cost-effective solution using its proprietary injection-system treatment. The Southampton location serves Suffolk and Nassau Counties.

Few home-related problems trigger as much alarm as discovering a basement crack. Homeowners see a crack and envision the various dreadful consequences – the worry and expense of shoring up a falling foundation, or the many aggravations of a soggy wet basement: hours of cleaning, carpet replacement and floor refinishing, repainting walls, and waterlogged furniture and keepsakes. Then they tally the dizzying cost of renovation. A wet basement is every homeowner's nightmare.

"Homeowners don't realize that a cracked foundation is a common problem," says Ray Halsey, president of The Crack Team's Long Island location. Halsey says that in most cases, a crack in a poured-concrete foundation does not indicate structural problems. Still, it is the source of leakage that can cause a wet basement. The problem is inherent in poured-concrete foundations. A crack is not due to improper building practices or other construction-related activity. Instead, over time, the concrete naturally shrinks or shifts, causing cracks in new and old homes alike.

Nevertheless, many homeowners are frantic when calling The Crack Team after finding a crack, leaky or not. "They expect elaborate, invasive, expensive repairs that usually aren't necessary," says Halsey. The Crack Team repair is a cost-effective and minimally disruptive process. It takes approximately one hour to fill one foundation crack, and the average cost of a Crack Team repair is in the hundreds of dollars, as opposed to thousands charged by other companies. Cracks are permanently sealed when injected, and all work carries the fully-transferable Happy Crack "Life of Structure" warranty.

"Homeowners, Realtors and inspectors have trusted The Crack Team for two decades," says Halsey. "I look forward to providing the same service to Long Island residents."
