Who this record is for
A Livonia-based crack-injection specialist working the western-Wayne beachhead: Livonia, Westland, Garden City, Redford, Dearborn Heights, Canton, Plymouth, Novi, and Northville. Its narrow specialty in pressurized crack injection for poured concrete foundations fits an owner with a specific, diagnosed leaking crack rather than a whole-basement water problem. This is the most internally consistent record of this batch, with matching founding date, address, and phone across every source checked. Every fact below is labeled with its source and the date we checked it.

BBB profile
Years in business
Founded 1985; consistent between BBB and the company's own siteVerifiedBBBThe Olympia Group, Inc., the corporate entity behind this business, was not incorporated until 2004 and its Crack Team assumed name not filed until 2006, per Michigan's business registry. As with several other firms in this record set, the business may have operated in an earlier unincorporated form before formal incorporation, which the state does not separately record.
Legal business name

Not every basement problem is a waterproofing job. A strong sewage smell at a floor drain is usually a plumbing issue, call a licensed plumber. A bowing, cracked, or visibly shifting foundation wall is a structural issue, get a structural engineer before any water fix. A waterproofing contractor treats water intrusion, not the pipe or the wall itself.

Questions to ask this contractor
Based on the open items in this record and the risk profile of the area they serve
- "Is this quote for crack injection only, or does my basement need more?"This company specializes narrowly in crack injection. If your problem is chronic whole-perimeter seepage or a sewer backup, you likely need a different kind of contractor too.
- "What is your Michigan license number?"We matched an Issued Maintenance & Alteration license (Basement Waterproofing classification) held by David Christopher Michalski, the owner of record for The Olympia Group, Inc., in the state's LARA record. Ask for the number and confirm it yourself at LARA's license search.
- "What exactly is the “Happy Crack Warranty,” in writing?"The marketing name is memorable; get the actual written terms, transferability, and what voids it before you sign.
- "Will the contract show The Olympia Group, Inc., dba The Crack Team, as the signing entity?"State records confirm “The Crack Team” is a registered assumed name of The Olympia Group, Inc. A contract should show the full legal name for enforceability.
- "Can I get the diagnosis and itemized scope in writing before signing?"Our guide to choosing a contractor covers how to compare quotes and the red flags to watch.
