Whether it's water in the basement, cracks in the walls, or floors that aren't level — every problem on this list has a fix. Here's what we do.
Settling foundations cause cracked walls, uneven floors, and doors that won't close. Steel piers and structural reinforcement stop the movement and stabilize your home.

Water on the floor after every storm is not normal. Interior drainage systems and exterior membranes stop water from reaching your living space.

Sagging floors, standing water, and wood rot start in the crawl space. Structural supports, drainage, and moisture control fix the problem at the source.

A sealed crawl space keeps moisture, mold, and pests out. Vapor barriers and dehumidification protect the air quality and structure above.

A properly sized sump pump with battery backup is the last line of defense against basement flooding — especially when storms knock out power.

Interior drain tile along the basement perimeter captures water before it reaches the floor and routes it to the sump pump.

If something doesn't need repair, we say so. The inspection covers your entire foundation, basement, or crawl space — and the proposal tells you exactly what's wrong, what fixes it, and what it costs. No pressure. No surprises on the invoice.
Most homes here sit on clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Add freeze-thaw cycles and a sewer system that backs up during heavy rain, and basements take a beating. We choose repair methods based on what's actually causing the damage — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Foundation and waterproofing work is rarely a planned expense. We price competitively and offer financing so the cost doesn't force you to put off a repair that's only going to get more expensive.

Straight answers to what homeowners ask most before scheduling an inspection.
It depends on the problem. Crack injection typically runs a few hundred dollars per crack. Interior waterproofing systems with a sump pump range from a few thousand up, depending on how much of the basement is affected. Structural work like piers or wall anchors costs more. Every home is different — the free inspection gives you a firm number, not a guess.
Chicago uses a combined sewer system — storm runoff and sanitary sewage share the same pipes. During heavy rain, the system overloads and pushes water back into basements through floor drains. On top of that, clay soil holds water against foundation walls instead of draining it away. A properly designed interior drainage and sump pump system manages both problems.
Usually not. Standard policies cover sudden damage like a burst pipe, but they exclude settling, soil movement, water seepage, and general wear. Flood damage requires a separate policy. In most cases, foundation and waterproofing repairs are out-of-pocket — which is why acting early saves money.
Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks in block walls usually mean the wall is under pressure from the soil outside — that's structural. Vertical hairline cracks in poured concrete are often from normal curing, but they still let water in. If a crack is wider than a quarter inch, growing, or letting water through, it should be inspected.
Foundation problems don't stabilize on their own. Cracks widen. Walls bow further. Water damage compounds. A crack that costs a few hundred to seal now can become a wall replacement later. Every freeze-thaw cycle in Chicago makes existing damage worse. The earlier you address it, the smaller the scope and the lower the cost.
