How Perma-Seal Can Help
Our Services in Downers Grove
Basement Waterproofing
A dry basement is essential, whether it’s used for storage or as living space. We address common issues such as:
Wall Cracks: Sealing cracks in concrete or block foundations to prevent leaks.
Cove Joint Seepage: Installing drainage systems where walls meet the floor.
Window Well Leaks: Ensuring proper sealing and drainage around basement windows.
Foundation Repair
Many Downers Grove homes were built on clay-rich soils that are prone to shifting and expanding, leading to foundation issues.
Stair-Step Cracks: Indicative of settling foundations.
Bowing Walls: Often caused by hydrostatic pressure.
Uneven Floors: A sign of foundation movement.
Crawl Space Solutions
If you have a vented crawl space—common in older homes in North Downers—you might be dealing with mold, musty smells, or pest issues. Our encapsulation and waterproofing system includes:
Vapor Barriers: Thick liners to seal out moisture. Also known as crawl space encapsulation.
Dehumidifiers: Controlling humidity levels to prevent mold growth.
Vent Sealing: Closing off external vents to protect against outside air and pests.
Concrete Repair & Protection
Fix uneven, sinking, and damaged areas. Concrete around your home at a lower cost than complete replacement.Â
Concrete Lifting: Fix your sinking patio, walkway, or driveway with our help.Â
Concrete sealing and protection: Add a protective layer over your concrete and prevent staining, discoloration, and deterioration.Â
Commercial Concrete Leveling: We offer concrete leveling on large projects like parking lots, warehouses, and other large commercial properties.Â
