Foundation Settlement Issues
Structural foundation issues are common in the Chicago area. These problems may include a sinking foundation, bowed basement walls, leaning basement walls, a crack in the basement floor or a large crack in the foundation wall. A damaged foundation must be addressed right away to avoid further damage. We can help.
Leaky Basement Problems
A wet basement is more than just a headache. Water seepage in the basement can cause unhealthy mold growth in the basement and costly damage to the foundation. Our basement waterproofing services will keep your basement dry and prevent water damage to your home.
Damp Crawl Space
Up to half of the air that your breathe in your home comes through the crawl space. A damp, musty crawl space creates an unhealthy environment in your home. The dampness and humidity also damages your home's foundation structure and floor joists. We can completely waterproof, insulate and seal your crawl space.
Jeff Foster - Chicago, IL 60614
During the last 3 months, I have been attempting to solve a water leakage problem at my property in Chicago. It is an expensive single family home that I have been fortunate enough to rent to very nice, responsible people. Unfortunately, I have had sewer smelling water entering the lower level every time it rained. It is a finished living area.
Let me tell you something, I have been rehabbing and building for 20 years. I have been a Real Estate broker for 20 as well. I tell people all the time, “You can never have all three…speed, competence and price. You always have to pick two.”
Well, for the first time in my career, Dan McGowan gave me all three. He was fast, considerate, competent and did not try to rip me off. I also felt Steve was out for my interest every minute. This was a rare experience for me. I just wanted to let you know that you have some great employees. However you found them, I would write it down.
I will always call your company first. I am also putting your numbers in my newsletter for all to see.

Louis W. Harding - Dyer, IN 46311
We contracted with Perma-Seal to resolve a water problem in our basement. On June 1, 2011 a crew arrived at our home at the appointed time and the foreman Hugo introduced himself and explained what work his crew would be performing. He shared with us what noise, dirt and dust that would be generated. He asked what other concerns we may have and any time if we have any questions or potential problems please let him be informed. John the manager dropped by in the afternoon to see how the job was progressing and if we had any questions or concerns as how the solution was being accomplished. Hugo and his team approached the job professionally and business like. Each member of his team were not only skilled as a craftsman and motivated worker, but performed with the team in a synergistic fashion. The complete job and how the crew accomplished it greatly exceeded our expectations. This is my first contract with Perma-Seal and I couldn’t be more pleased. I would be honored to be used as a reference.
