A home inspector's note about a foundation crack is a common reason Glastonbury homeowners call us, often with a closing date already set. Others call after finishing a basement and spotting a damp patch on new drywall. In both cases you want a reputable waterproofing company that can tell you whether the crack is cosmetic, leaking, or structural, and put that answer in writing.
Eastern Waterproofing Co., Inc. hears from homeowners on both sides of a sale. Sellers need the problem fixed and documented before closing, and buyers want to know what they're taking on. Owners who have lived in their homes for years call when water shows up after a hard rain in a basement that stayed dry for a decade. Each situation gets the same thing from us: a visit from the owner and a written estimate the same day.
Many Glastonbury homes sit on poured concrete foundations, and vertical shrinkage cracks in those walls are common. Some only stain, while others let water through every storm. Our crack injection work uses polyurethane to stop an active leak and epoxy where a crack needs structural bonding. A crack that is both leaking and structural can take both polyurethane to stop the water and epoxy once it dries. Horizontal cracks, or cracks that keep widening, get a closer look before any injection.
A finished basement changes how we approach the job. We may need access to a wall behind paneling or drywall, and we tell you up front how much needs to come off and why. Our crews protect flooring and furniture, and customers regularly mention that we left the space cleaner than we found it.

Glastonbury runs along the east bank of the Connecticut River, from the meadows on its western edge to the orchard country around South Glastonbury. Route 2, Route 17 and Hebron Avenue carry most of the traffic, and the housing ranges from older homes near Main Street to subdivisions built over the last several decades.
