My wife and I hired The Crack Doctor to repair some cracks in our (now previous) house.
We were pretty unimpressed by his work. All of the quoting and work itself was done by his crew (we never met the "doctor" himself).
Several cracks ended up leaking after the initial injection. Each time, the crew returned and attempted to re-inject the cracks. One crack, in particular, had been filled 4 times previously, by which point I said: "Enough is enough, I'll pay you to patch this from the outside." While the crewman was convinced that this made sense, it took substantial convincing to get the owner to acquiesce to this request -- he was on the phone with the owner for some time. (And I should clarify that this wasn't a question of payment -- I was more than willing to pay; I think that the owner simply thought that there would be more profitable ventures for him elsewhere.)
In terms of the overall job ... I felt that they did a poor job of cleaning up after their injections. Most other foundation repair companies trim the excess down and apply a mortar-like patch on the inside to keep things clean -- The Crack Doctor did not.
All told, I was pretty unimpressed.
