Default Looking for recommendations for company to repair leaking basement cracks

We have 3 cracks in our house that leak water when it rains really heavy (like this past weekend). Last year I tried regrading at the wall where the cracks are and getting the downspouts extended, but we are still getting water coming in so it's time to call in the professionals. I have Abalon booked to come out and give an estimate. We have used them before on another house and thought they were great, but not cheap. Can anyone recommend some other companies to get quotes from?

I have not used them, but Abalone Construction is supposed to be the best.

we had Kuypers fix basement cracks, water proof and install a weeping tile system for our older home a few years ago. Very good work and reasonably priced....and no, I have no interest or affiliation with these guys

Crack Buster!

We had 3 foundational cracks. They do an injection to seal the crack. Lifetime gaurentee. So far no issues at all! Very professional and friendly. Affordable (compared to the others)
